<br />Nova Felton, 8031 Noel Ct. <br />Ms. Felton agreed with Ms. Brot on the necessity of maintaining existing inspections <br />as it meant safety and neighborhood stability. She stated there should be no cuts to <br />the police, community development or refuse departments as they keep the city safe <br />clean and operating. Ms. Felton stated that $11,000 could be saved by the City in <br />not allowing the Fire Chief to commute in City owned vehicle. She also felt that the <br />Fire Chief should be required to live in University City. <br /> <br />Richard Dockett, 6844 Crest Ave <br />Mr. Dockett agreed with Stefany Brot insisting that inspections not be cut for budget <br />purposes. Regular inspections maintain the integrity of the neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Wilma Kennell, 1332 Purdue <br />Ms. Kennell was not in favor of eliminating the leaf pick-up program but could see it <br />being reduced to two pick-ups. She was concerned with possible glut of <br />condominiums with the new project just approved at Vernon and Kingsland. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />Mr. Price asked the City Manger to go to each department and ask each to use their <br />ingenuity in finding ways to enhance revenue growth instead of what can be reduced <br />and report back to him. He also would like to increase the relationship between the <br />City and School by making a program as, “University City Becomes a City of <br />Destination.” <br /> <br />Mr. Crow agreed with Mr. Price in looking for revenue enhancements. He also <br />called for citizens’ comments on revenue enhancements and to become involved in <br />the budget process of the City. Mr. Crow also asked for a report from the driving <br />range committee and about a soil erosion issue at the golf course. He also would <br />like to see a partnership with the City and the School District. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci forwarded an article to the Council and City Manger “Best Practices”. She <br />asked Ms. Feier to get back to her as to which of the “Best Practices” listed the City <br />is using, so the citizens can best participate in the budget process. Ms. Ricci would <br />like to know from the City Manager which “Best Practices” the City is not using and <br />how we might implement them. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner moved to go into an Executive Session, seconded by Mr. Sharpe. <br />Roll Call vote was: <br />AYES: Mr. Price, Ms. Ricci, Mr. Wagner, Mr. Crow, Mr. Glickert, Mr. Sharpe, and <br />Mayor Adams <br />NAYS: none <br /> <br />Joyce Pumm, <br />City Clerk <br />
