17) Danielle Herron, 7833 Gannon Ms. Herron started by saying this was her opinion and no one has influenced it. She described the flooding event in September 2009 and MSD’s and Corps of Engineers’ statements and promises. Recently the flooding happened again; the City, MSD, and the Corps of Engineers need to sit down and find the money needed to buy the residents out so they are not put in harms way again. 18) Sharon Jenkins, 8008 Briar Ct. Ms. Jenkins stated that the flood water is a problem for them also. She asked if the Corps of Engineers looked into this situation and asked what they found. She stated she had eight feet of water in her house and lost everything. She had insurance but was not sure how many times the insurance company would deal with it. Ms. Jenkins stated that she loves U.City but had no idea that the water was such a problem. Ms. Jenkins asked about repairing River DesPeres and then the City would not have to worry about properties to buy-out as residents would continue to live where they are and the City can continue to grow. She offered to help as a citizen. 19) Anne Marie Kiddon, 7348 Wellington Ms. Kiddon thanked the Council for the meeting with the directors and hope they continue this. It was her understanding that the City calendar was being cut from next year’s budget. She stated that people use this calendar, with it they feel connected, it is more important than what the Council may realize. Ms. Kiddon’s suggestion is to create a digital calendar on the web site. She did not want a linear calendar but rather to replicate of the calendar as it is now. 20) DeJean Dufek, 7021 Amherst Ms. Dufek requested Council delay passing this budget until you have farther time to consider all the options for cutting costs and come back with a reasonable solution for the next meeting. She did not see why the Wilson buyout and the budget for FY 10 were put on the same resolution and would prefer two separate resolutions. The Public Hearing for FY 10 budget was closed at 8:00 p.m. H. CONSENT AGENDA I. CITY MANAGER’S REPORT 1. Liquor License for Elite Market, 7267 Olive. Mr. Glickert stated that he would never approve a liquor license to any place near a day care center and there is one within 500 feet of this location. There was not a representative present from Elite Market. The approval of a liquor license was moved for denial, seconded by Mr. Crow and was unanimous to deny the application. 2. Discussion surrounding FY 10 budget Ms. Ricci stated that the substance of this budget is not ready for the Council’s vote. Ms. Ricci moved to segregate the Wilson issue out of the Budget Resolution so it may be addressed separately and voted on tonight and to take money out of the reserve for the Wilson buyout and was seconded by Mr. Glickert.
