Session 1681, Minutes October 21,1996 Page 2 that funds state parks and agricultural soil programs. Revenue from this program has increased dramati- cally, and the Mayor said many municipal officials throughout the state feel that some of these funds that all citizens pay should go to cities to help with their soil erosion programs and park maintenance. Since the tax does not expire for two years, citizens are being asked not to support the ballot measure so that a more equitable proposal may be negotiated and put before the public two years from now. Mr. Schoomer moved that Council join with the Missouri Municipal League and St. Louis County Municipal League in adopting this resolution. Mr. Munkel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. The resolution will become part of the record. CITY MANAGER'S AGENDA CONSENT CALENDAR (TWO ITEMS) Emergency Repair - Heil Refuse Truck #42 (#1). The packer cylinders on Refuse Truck #42 failed, causing it to be out of service, and Mr. Ollendorffgave emergency approval for $9,530.45 in repairs from Armor Equipment so the truck may be returned to service. Council approval is required. Installation of Truck Scale at Central Garage (#2). Several companies were invited to bid on this project but due to state law requiring payment of prevailing wage rates, only one proposal was submitted. Preci- sion Scale Co. bid $29,903, a reasonable price for the scope of work. The City Manager said this com- pany has a good reputation and he recommended acceptance of their bid. Mr. Wagner moved approval of the Consent Calendar. Mrs. Thompson seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. SITE PLAN - 7014 PERSHING/COFFEE HOUSE The City Manager said this item was tabled at the last meeting so that immediate neighbors on Pershing and Waterman could be notified and their comments heard by Council at this meeting. The City Mana- ger recommended denial since prior restaurants on the site have caused overflow parking, late hour activity and other intrusions and have not been well received by the neighborhood. If approval is con- templated, conditions regarding hours, employee parking, outdoor activity, alcoholic beverage prohibi- tion, cooking odor protection, and limits on seating capacity should be attached. Mr. Schoomer moved that this item be removed from the table. Mr. Wagner seconded the motion, and all voted Aye. The applicant, Mr. Patrick Liberto, 11015 Westport Station Drive, said he distributed flyers on Pershing and Waterman about his proposal for the coffee house, and so far has received no negative comments. He believed that was due to the type of operation he proposes, with limited hours (7 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays; 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday), no alcohol served, and a lot of walk-in traffic.
