Session 1744 <br />January 25, 1999 <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman suggested convincing East West Gateway to add other criteria to their <br />decision making process, such as quality of life. Mr. Ollendorff agreed with Mr. Lieberman <br />and suggested that East West Gateway be convinced to add other criteria, such as the <br />traffic study information. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Wagner believes that the traffic studies and the number of fire calls in this <br />area is very impodant and should definitely be brought to East West Gateway's attention. <br /> <br />Mr. Littlefield believes that the City Council should become more engaged in the entire <br />process. Maybe attend meetings or set up meetings like Clayton and Shrewsbury has done. <br />Mr. Sharpe asked if the City Manager had been involved with any meetings. Mr. OIlendorff <br />responded that he had been at six different meetings with East West Gateway and Parsons <br />Group. Mayor Pro Tem Wagner said that he was unaware of the City Manager attending <br />these meetings anti asked Mr. Ollendorff to prepare reports of any future meetings he <br />attends. <br /> <br />Mr. Todd Thompson, University City's appointment to the MetroLink Community Working <br />Group (CWG), gaw~ an update of his participation in this group to date. He believes that <br />the CWG is not doing anything tangible in the process so far and that they have not had an <br />opportunity to provide any feedback. He believes this will cause the members to lose <br />interest. <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said that Clayton is meeting on a regular basis simply because they do not <br />yet know what position to take on the construction. Ex-Mayor Majerus and ex- <br />Councilmember Schuman conducted extensive MetroLink studies and public feedback <br />meetings on this issue four or five years ago. University City knows what we want. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer commented that the underground route was the only feasible choice. <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said that the City will work to convince East West Gateway to add other <br />criteria, other than economic impact, to their decision criteria. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Wagner adjourned the meeting at 7:10 p.m. <br /> <br />Leisha K.
