- Session 1320, Minutes Page 5 December 6, 1982 ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION Mr. Ollendorff noted that a response to the auditor's report on the City's account- ing procedures had been sent to Council, and he wished to know if they would like to discuss it. Mrs. Metcalfe and Mr. Adams both thought the report was adequate and answered their concerns. Mr. Levy concurred. Mr. Ollendorff asked Mr. Lieberman if he wished to discuss the matter of the window signs in the All in One Food Shop, which Mr. Lieberman had asked the administration to look into. Mr. Lieberman said discussion was unnecessary as long as the City Manager was taking administrative action. However, Mrs. Thompson said she had read Mr. Lieberman's remarks to Mr. Ollendorff on this matter, and it was her understand- ing that the portion of the signs advertising ice cold beer had been taped over. (The All in One was denied a package beer license by the Council on November 8, 1982.) Mr. Lieberman said that was incorrect, since he had observed them the previous eve- ning. Mr. Adams said he had driven by some time ago, and that the signs were taped over at that time, and surmised that perhaps the tape had come loose. Mr. Ollendorff said the inspector had instructed the owner to eliminate the wording concerning the sale of beer, and the owner indicated several weeks ago that he would have a sign painter repaint the sign, but apparently that had not yet been done. Both the Mayor and Mr. Lieberman said this matter should be taken care of administratively, and Mr. Ollendorff concurred. BILL FOR SECOND READING BILL NO. 7556 - FINDING THAT A CERTAIN AREA IS BLIGHTED, AS DEFINED UNDER CHAPTER 353 OF THE REVISED STATUTES OF MISSOURI, AND THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SUCH AREA IS NECESSARY AND IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE OF UNIVERSITY CITY. Bill No. 7556 was given its second reading. Bill No. 7556 was given its third reading. Mr. Adams moved that this bill be adopted as an ordinance. Mr. Schoomer seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the following vote was recorded: AYES: Councilmembers Lieberman, Adams, Metcalfe, Levy, Schoomer, Thompson and Mayor Mooney. NAYS: None. Bill No. 7556 became Ordinance No. 5352. MISCELLANEOUS Mr. Lieberman announced that there would be a special meeting of the St. Louis County Municipal League on December 9 in the County Council chambers to consider the recom- mendation of the League's Economic Development Study Committee to approve a proposal for economic development, wherein a 3/8q~ City and County sales tax would go specifi- cally and directly to support economic incentives that would promote jobs in St. Lou- is and St. Louis County. This proposal, similar to the 5/8C sales tax proposition which failed last summer, removes the cultural district and tourism section, reduces the tax, has a sunset provision and a number of other details which are slightly dif- ferent from the original proposal. Mr. Lieberman said all municipalities had been invited to attend this meeting and take part in the discussion of this proposal. It was hoped that there will emerge from the meeting an endorsement of the proposal, which will then go to the State Legislature in Jefferson City for consideration, and that enabling legislation will permit the issue to be put on the ballot some time next year.
