Session 1309, Minutes Page 2 June 7, 1982 paired, but there is now another problem. The street was repaired in such a way that all of the rainwater flows into his back yard and a great deal of erosion has taken place. He asked that the matter be looked into further to see what solutions might be available, Mayor Mooney asked Mr. Ollendorff to follow up on this and re- port to the Council the action that is taken. CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS ANNUAL STREET IMPROVEMENT RATE REPORT In accordance with the Residential Street Improvement Assessment policy adopted by the City Council on May 24, 1982, the City Manager said he was to report annually on typical construction costs and the resultant proposed street assessments. Using typical improvement costs based on contracts awarded by the City in 1981 and 1982, new street improvement projects initiated after acceptance of these rates by the City Council would be assessed at $11.00 per front foot for street improvements; $5.50 per side or rear yard abutting foot for street improvements; and $10.00 per foot for property abutting alley improvements. The rates would apply to any pro- jects not previously initiated under former policies and would be for the 1982-83 fiscal year. Mayor Mooney stated that a vote of thanks should be given to Mr. Lieberman and his two committee members, Mr. Levy and Mr. Schoomer, who worked on this matter and made recommendations to the Council. Mrs. Metcalfe moved approval of the above rates. Mr. Adams seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. NON-UNIFORMED EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT PLAN The City Manager said a request had been received to review the non-uniformed em- ployees pension plan in order to allow for a reduced pension at age 62 with fifteen years of service, and it was also suggested that it be made retroactive to person- nel who have left City service. At present, the plan provides for full pension at age 65 with fifteen years of service, or a reduced pension at age 55 with twenty years of service. The cost of an actuarial study for this change would be from $700 to $1,000. Mrs. Metcalfe said that it would be unwise, given the general fiscal condition of the City, to investigate a pension change that would cost the City money. If it was for a specific case, she felt it should be handled in executive session. Mayor Mooney concurred, and called for an executive session on Monday, June 21, at 6:00 p.m., where this would be one of the items discussed. CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION - 6803 KINGSBURY The City Manager said the City received an application to convert 6803 Kingsbury in- to a condominium. Required inspections were made and it was found that the proposed improvements would not result in the property meeting University City code standards. Additionally, there is an illegal basement apartment. Mr. Ollendorff recommended that the application be denied, although the owner may submit a better, revised plan at a later date.
