<br />Mr. Sharpe, Jr., in following up on Ms. Ricci’s comment of neighbors working together, <br />stated that he was aware of a neighborhood which would purchase a home for sale in <br />order to preserve their neighborhood. <br /> <br />Ms. Brot stated that she would work in behalf with the West Moreland Place to maintain <br />current zoning requiring single family housing. Secondly Ms. Brot said she was shocked <br />that the Missouri State Department of Revenue has informed cities that they have not <br />charged the allowable three percent collection fees on state sales tax for motor vehicles <br />or any increase in motor vehicle fees. Now the state is saying that cities need to pay <br />them back from July 2005 to the present for this fee. She said that the Missouri <br />Municipal League is reviewing this legality. She explained that this is why it is important <br />to have the St. Louis County Municipal League and the Missouri Municipal League lobby <br />continuously in Jefferson City in support of all issues favored by the cities it represents. <br />Lastly she suggested that she would like to see a MetroLink station in University City’s <br />quadrant at Olive and Interstate 170, which Olivette stated it did not support on their <br />quadrant. She encouraged the City Manager and Council to fully support future <br />MetroLink stations on the I170 corridor. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams stated that you cannot pass legislation to prevent anyone from purchasing <br />homes. He said that it will not and has not held up in our legal system. The only control <br />University City has is through zoning. What is needed is to convince neighbors not to <br />sell their house to Washington University. <br /> <br />Future meetings for Council were: <br />December 10, 2007, meeting with the University City School Administration <br />January 15, 2008, Study and Regular <br />January 28, 2008, Study and Regular <br />Meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m. Ms. Ricci moved to go into executive session for <br />RSMo 610.021, (1) and (2) legal and real estate, was seconded by Mr. Glickert and <br />approved unanimously. <br /> <br />Joyce Pumm <br />City Clerk <br />
