Session 1307, Minutes Page 7 May 19, 1982 Community Development Fund. Mr. Ollendorff said that this budget was approved by the Council in the fall of 1981, but is shown here so that all expenditures of the City will be in one place. Integrated Criminal Apprehension Program. The City Manager said this program will end September 30, 1982 and therefore shows three months' expenditures. It was hoped that federal money will be made available to help fund this program in the future. General Discussion. Mayor Mooney said that comments or questions on the budget should be put into memo form and circulated to the Council and City Manager, so all will know what is to be discussed. Mr. Ollendorff reminded the Council of the public hearing at the next meeting and that several groups will have representa- tives present who will argue for-continuation of their programs. He asked coun- cilmembers to get their comments and questions to him by the end of May. Mr. Adams said he had asked University City Residential Service several years ago to try to find alternate sources of revenue for their operation, and he felt they should continue to seek other funding. Mr. Schoomer said several programs would be going into effect quite soon which should provide them with additional revenue. Mr. Lieberman asked about wage increases, and Mr. Ollendorff said that could be discussed at the executive session scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Monday, May 24, prior to the Council meeting. He said it would be a small cost of living increase on the order of 5% or less, and would not be tied to comparisons with other communities because of University City's fiscal constraints. In addition, the administration was trying to formulate a plan to encourage less use of sick leave. Mr. Lieberman asked that there be a special tribute at the next Council meeting to memorialize Zelda Epstein, who served University City as a distinguished council- member for a number of years. Mrs. Epstein died earlier today. Mr. Adams called attention to a memorandum from Mr. Levy, which included a request that the Council issue a proclamation to encourage the United States and Russia to declare a nuclear freeze. Mr. Levy said if the Council favored this idea, he would like the proclamation to be on the docket at next Monday's Council meeting.
