Session 1318, Minutes Page 7 November 8, 1982 REPORT ON LAWSUIT FROM COUNCILMEMBER LIEBERMAN Mr. Lieberman said the Executive Board of the St. Louis County Municipal League met just prior to this meeting, and among the items considered was a lawsuit filed against the cities of Frontenac and University City in connection with the Hancock Amendment. He said the Executive Board decided to take action on this matter by asking the League staff to prepare a position statement in support of University City and Frontenac, which will be considered by the League membership at its Novem- ber 18 meeting. The Board also voted unanimously to pay one-third of the cost (up to a maximum of $1500) of special counsel for the two cities during the Circuit and Appellate Court stages of action. In addition, the Board discussed whether or not to enter into an amicus curiae brief, but held that decision in abeyance until the next Board meeting in January, 1983. Mr. Lieberman urged the Council to attend the November 18 meeting at the Clayton Community Center. Mr. Adams said this issue was also discussed by the Missouri Municipal League Board of Directors, who were very concerned and supportive of Frontenac and University City. He said the Board would like to know officially if the cities would like the Board to take part in this litigation. Mayor Mooney said a letter would be pre- pared asking the Board for their support. Mr. Lieberman pointed out that the City Council had really not acted on this matter and suggested that a resolution stating the Council's position should be prepared and approved at the next Council meeting. It was agreed this would be done. Mr. Ollendorff thanked Mr. Lieberman for the good news and for being instrumental in obtaining it.
