It was recommended that the low bid of $9,122.40 from Vallen Safety be accepted. Setting Public Heating - Sugarberry Tree Historic Landmark (#8). It was recommended that a public hearing be set for 7:30 p.m. December 16, 1996, to consider granting historic designation in the zoning ordinance for this Missouri State Champion Tree located at Purcell, south of Bartmer. The Historic Pre- servation and Plan Commissions and neighbors all agree this should be done to protect this 200 year old tree, which is the largest of its species and deserves protection and proper care. Mr. Schoomer moved approval of the Consent Calendar. Mr. Munkel seconded the motion, which car- tied unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - DELMAR PARKING GARAGE The City Manager said a public hearing was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. this date to hear comments on the City Council's decision to build a three-story, 120 car parking garage with four retail spaces at 6319 Delmar, with not more than 15% assessed to benefiting properties. He noted that since an earlier public hearing was held on this project, changes were made that necessitated a new hearing. Following the close of the hearing, Council should move to direct that the City proceed to get bids on the project. The changes include a smaller building and 120 instead of 139 parking spaces. Mayor Adams opened the public hearing at 7:36 p.m. There were no requests to speak and the heating was closed at 7:36 p.m. Mr. Schoomer said this project was an absolute necessity for the continued growth and development of the Loop, although he was disappointed the garage had to be made smaller. He moved that bids be ob- tained for this project. Mr. Wagner seconded the motion. Mr. Lieberman asked about the projected cost of the garage. Mr. Ollendorff estimated it would be about $2,000,000, but said he would know more precisely after bids are received. All voted Aye.
