Session 1677, Minutes <br />September 9, 1996 <br /> <br />Page 11 <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS <br /> <br />Mayor Adams asked the City Manager to look into the possibility of condemning two four-family <br />buildings at 1000 and 1008 Wild Cherry which are in extreme disrepair and have become a detriment to <br />their neighborhood. The owner has not responded to a summons or any other communication from the <br />City. <br /> <br />Mrs. Thompson said a radio report said that University City had taken some buildings. Mayor Adams <br />said he believed that report was about housing in Parkview Gardens, and Phase I and Phase II of the <br />Parkview Gardens Rehabilitation Project was approved by Council some time ago. Mr. Ollendorff said <br />renovation was being done only on derelict buildings that have been vacant for quite some time and only <br />when a developer is willing to meet City Codes and make the housing habitable again. <br /> <br />Mrs. Thompson said she was concerned about young people who no longer go to school, and she sug- <br />gested that a committee be formed to work with families to see if they can't get these children back in <br />school. Mayor Adams noted there are a number of programs in University City aimed at young people; <br />one is called InterAct, which is run by several churches which are actively working with youngsters. <br /> <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS <br /> <br />Mr. Amos Green, 7641 Hawthorne Place, said he received a ticket for parking his truck overnight on <br />the street and did not know there was such a law. Mr. Ollendorff said new residents are made aware <br />of this law when they get an occupancy permit, it is printed every year on the City calendar, and at least <br />once a year there is an article about it in CityScape, the city newspaper. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Mayor Adams adjourned the meeting at 8:57 p.m. <br /> <br />, u <br /> Dolores A.
