Session 1308, Minutes Page 12 May 24, 1982 to try to evaluate if direct membership in the NLC was no longer useful to Univer- sity City. Mr. Adams agreed with the Mayor that the Council can have a direct impact on the City's congressional representatives; however, he felt it would be difficult for the Council to stay abreast of issues which affect cities without information fur- nished by the NLC. He said he did not campaign for his steeriiig.committee posi- tion but that he was asked to serve, and that he did attend seminars which he felt would give him useful information of benefit to University City. For clarification, Mr. Ollendorff said if there was no action by Council, he would pay this year's dues (already budgeted) and also next year's (1982-83) when they come due since they are included in the Council budget. Mrs. Metcalfe moved that the Council not pay the current (1981-82 budget) dues to the NLC. The motion died for lack of a second. Mrs. Metcalfe suggested it might be appropriate to delay a decision on whether or not to pay next year's dues in order to give Council time for reflection. She asked that all the items in the budget which the Council might want to change be on the agenda at the next meeting. Mayor Mooney asked that every councilmember, in ad- vance of the next meeting, send to the City Manager the items which he/she wants discussed or changed so that they may be distributed and every councilmember will be prepared for every item on the agenda. He asked that there be no more outside lobbying on the matter of the NLC membership. PERSONNEL REPORT The Personnel report for the.week ending May.22, 1982 was received and ordered filed.
