Session 1312, Minutes Page 3 July 26, 1982 Mr. Levy moved that the Council accept the recommendation of the Park Commission to institute a reservation system to be available only to University City residents. Mr. Schoomer seconded the motion. There was discussion about whether or not all members of the golfing foursome had to be residents in order to use the reservation system. Mr. Levy then changed his motion to include the premise that all members of the foursome must be residents in order to make reservations. Mrs. Metcalfe pointed out that there would be some discrimination against a Univer- sity City resident who was either not part of a foursome or whose foursome had non- residents. Brief discussion followed. I Mayor Mooney and Councilmembers Metcalfe and Levy voted in favor of the motion; Councilmembers Thompson and Schoomer voted against it. The motion carried by a f vote of three to two. RETAIL BEER AND WINE SALES The City Manager said an application was received from Say Cheese, Inc., 8141 Del- mar, for a license to sell beer and wine by the package at retail. All City re- quirements have been met, and affected City departments have reviewed the applica- tion, with no problems reported. Mr. Ollendorff recommended approval. Mr. Schoomer moved approval, with Mr. Levy seconding the motion. Mrs. Metcalfe asked that the applicant, Mr. Tom Frillman, 7420 Tulane, come for- ward. Answering Mrs. Metcalfe's questions, Mr. Frillman said his business was for- merly distributing cheese wholesale, and he now planned to add a retail operation which would be open from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. He said he would not keep later hours with the possible exception of a period near the holidays when he might like to stay open until 8:00 p.m. Mrs. Metcalfe noted there would be opposition in the neighborhood if this or any other store which sold alcoholic beverages stayed open late, so she was somewhat concerned about setting a precedent. She moved to amend Mr. Schoomer's motion by adding time restraints, specifically that the business may open as early as 9:00 a.m. and must close by 9:00 p.m. Mr. Levy seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Schoomer's amended motion also carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - ESTABLISHMENT OF PROPERTY TAX RATE The City Manager said the Ciry Council ordered a public hearing at 8:00 p.m. for the purpose of establishing a property tax rate for the City for fiscal year 1982- 83. The rate was actually established in June, as required by the City Charter, but state law required that a public hearing be held after actual assessed valua- tions are received from the St. Louis County Assessor. However, those figures were not received by the City until after July 1, when the fiscal year has already _ begun. State law also required that the City advertise the public hearing, which was done at least seven days prior to the public hearing. Mr. Ollendorff pointed out that the figures received from the Assessor were less than anticipated, and will bring in several thousand dollars less than the budget adopted June 7, 1982 called for. Assessed valuations, property tax revenues budgeted, and proposed tax rates are as follows:
