2. <br />City Council’s meetings’ calendar proposal for 2010 <br />Ms. Feier presented the 2010 calendar of proposed City Council meeting dates. <br />In draft one she tried to coordinate items asked for earlier as starting the budget <br />cycle earlier, not scheduling a meeting the day before an election. Draft two <br />attempted to coordinate some feedback she received: the second meeting in <br />April was dropped and the two meetings in April have been adjusted down by <br />one week. Based on some feedback at the prior study session she verbally <br />presented draft three which did not eliminate any meetings but adjusted the <br />Monday meetings in the months of April, June, and July. The April 12 meeting <br />moved to April 5, June 14 meeting moved to June 7 and the July 12 meeting <br />moved to July 26. Ms. Feier asked for a motion from the Council to proceed with <br />one of them. <br />Ms. Ricci asked for draft three in writing as she would need to check with her <br />calendar and could not vote on it at this point. She asked to postpone vote till the <br />next meeting. Ms. Feier asked to verbally go through the changes again as she <br />stated the Council’s meeting dates sets the stage for all other Board’s and <br />Commission meetings. <br />Mr. Sharpe stated that he was the one that had the problem and asked belatedly <br />for Julie to reconsider the dates, which created draft three. He asked how much <br />problem it would be if the Council waited until the next meeting. Ms. Feier stated <br />that if Council in general feels positive about draft three and she did not see <br />anyone with problems with it, she will forward draft three out now and if there are <br />any adjustments she will do it afterwards, as she does not want the calendar to <br />get out late. She stated the Council can formally approve it at their next meeting. <br />Ms. Ricci motioned to have Ms. Feier move forward with draft three and if any <br />adjustments were needed they could be made on the backside, seconded by Mr. <br />Crow and was approved unanimously. <br />J. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />K. NEW BUSINESS <br />BILLS <br />RESOLUTIONS <br />1. <br />Resolution 2009 – 17 E911 Ballot Issue for November 3, 2009, election <br />Mr. Price moved for approval, seconded by Mr. Wagner and was approved <br />unanimously. <br />Mayor Adams gave a brief explanation for the need to pass E911. He stated the <br />federal government mandated a communication system that can talk to each <br />other in emergencies by the year 2013. To accomplish this all base stations, <br />hand held emergency devices, and all radio systems had to be changed. <br />Therefore the St. Louis County Council has put on the ballot this November a <br />small sales tax increase of one-tenth of one percent to pay for this system. If not <br />approved, each municipality will have to upgrade their system on their own to <br />meet the federal mandate. The result will be a seamless system where everyone <br /> <br />
