some of the things the City could do as far as out-sourcing. He would collect data and turn it over to the staff and Council so it can not be said we don't have the time to do it.

Gideon Missionary Church's Feeding the Hungry program which has been very successful. He would like money be allocated to assist them in this endeavor. Mr. Dockett asked for the record, be noted that he was honored as one of the most famous top ten people graduating from Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1978. Mr. Dockett said he would like to discuss with Mayor Welsch the concerns of the senior citizens. Ms. Watson mentioned that the Mt. Gideon program was not allowed when the City submitted it for CDBG funding several years ago. Mr. Dockett asked that the City look at funding it in the FY 11 budget. Edward McCarthy, 7101 Princeton Mr. McCarthy also asked the Council to allocate $4,000 for the Mt. Gideon Baptist Church's Feed the Hungry program. He said it is not a religious program it is feeding the hungry. He said the anti-crime, code enforcement for $56,000 can be received through another grant. Mr. McCarthy would like to apply the money to having the private streets plowed in the City ,since the City can't get it done any other way, let's use these funds to benefit thousands of people that need their streets swept and plowed, just the little maintenance things that everyone gets in U City. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel Ms. Glickert stated that several years back, $50,000 was given Wellston to finish its portion to pave Sutter Ave in its community. The purpose was to make it a County Urban Road. This road goes through University City, Wellston and Pagedale. It met standards at University City and Pagedale but not Wellston. She asked the City to pursue getting Sutter Ave to be a County Urban Road, since it previously awarded it $50,000 to bring it to standards. Robert Davoli, 7378 Milan Ave. Mr. Davoli would like for the City to apply for money for the development of anon-profit organization to have a youth program that would help fix code violations in the homes of the City's elderly.
