<br /> <br />MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY CITY COUNCIL <br />STUDY SESSION <br />June 26, 2006 <br /> <br />A Study Session of the City Council of University City held in the Chambers of the City <br />Hall, on Monday, June 26, 2006, at 6:00 p.m. Mayor Adams called the meeting to order <br />at 6:00 p.m. In addition to Mayor Adams, the following members of the Council were <br />present: <br />Mr. Byron Price <br />Mr. Robert Wagner <br /> Ms. Francine Brungardt <br /> Ms. Stefany Brot <br />Mr. Arthur Sharpe, Jr. arrived at 6:15 p.m. Also present were City Managers, Frank <br />Ollendorff and Julie Feier. <br /> <br />The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the remaining items and payments on the <br />contract with Mercer, the consultant used to find candidates for City Manager. <br /> <br />The Council questioned charges as advertising and inconsistent layout of invoice. The <br />Council agreed to pay invoices submitted by Mercer but would look for follow-up <br />evaluation from another source. The Council decided not to encumber money left from <br />FY 2005-2006 budget to cover a follow-up evaluation expense. Ms. Brot encouraged <br />Council to have invoices go through the City Clerk. <br /> <br />Ms. Brungardt requested time to discuss the Council’s plans in finding a replacement for <br />her seat. Council’s discussion revolved around the Charter, Article II, Sec. 10. Ms. Brot <br />presented information that she acquired about the estimated cost of holding an election <br />in an off-year of 2007. Mr. Sharpe Jr. explained what the process was when he was <br />appointed, which was to be appointed until the next April election time, at which time he <br />ran for the one year term that remained and then he ran again in the following April <br />election for a full four year term. Mayor Adams said that the precedent seemed to be <br />that a candidate would be appointed by the Council and at the following April election, <br />the candidate ran for the remaining unexpired term, when that term was completed, <br />then the candidate ran for a full four year term. Mr. Glickert and Mr. Wagner felt that the <br />Council should appoint a person for the remaining term, not to the next April election. <br />Ms. Brot agreed but recommended changing the wording of the Charter to be explicit. <br />Ms. Brot requested that any Council meetings scheduled concerning Councilmember <br />replacement, be scheduled at times when all Council can be present. <br /> <br />Meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Joyce Pumm <br />City Clerk <br /> <br />
