Session 1683, Minutes November 18, 1996 Page 7 which is a bed-and-breakfast by referral only, was not in compliance with the Zoning Code. She asked what she could do to comply. Mr. Schoomer said boarding houses are strictly prohibited under the City's Zoning Code, and there was no way currently to make a distinction between a bed-and-breakfast and a boarding house. He said if Ms. Hoffman had language to suggest that would permit amending the Code, she could present it to the Plan Commission and ask them to consider recommending a change. Mr. Lieberman suggested that Ms. Hoffman acquire information from jurisdictions that permit bed-and-breakfasts to see how they are regulated; she could then meet with the City Manager who could advise on the next step. Ms. Hoffman said she is in the process of obtaining information from several cities. Mr. Wagner was concerned about possible parking problems with neighbors. Ms. Hoffman said she can provide off-street parking for guests. Mr. Ollendorffsaid he would contact Ms. Hoffman to discuss this matter and see if changes are possible. Mr. Wagner asked Mr. Ollendorffto be sensitive to the requirement for off-street parking Mrs. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel, noting that University City has a non-partisan government, asked how the City justified spending tax dollars for the visit here of President Clinton. Mayor Adams said all expenses were covered by the campaign account and the U.S. Treasury Secret Service account. In re- sponse to Mrs. Glickert, Mr. Ollendorff said the police expenses have not yet been reimbursed by the Treasury, but the campaign portion has been paid. The total cost was about $3,000. Mrs. Thompson said she was very surprised by Mrs. Glickert's objections, noting that many other communities would have liked the President to visit in their municipalities, and she felt it was an honor that University City was chosen.
