Session 1265, Minutes December 22, 1980 returned to have all its meetings during the day find it difficult to attend. Mr. Sabol ter be sent to the County Council concerning Page 12 day so that those who work during the asked that a more strongly worded let - the crows. Mr. Sabol said he wasn't totally satisfied with the leaf pickup. Mr. 011endorff said the leaf pickup greatly exceeded most expectations, including his own. He said every street in the community was visited twice, and all collections were made in the week scheduled. Mr. Sabol said many people had swept leaves into the streets after the leaf pickup equipment had already passed, in violation of City ordinance, and that the citizens should be educated that this was not to be done. Mr. Sabol said several municipalities had already passed ordinances concerned with handicapped parking, and felt University City should have such an ordinance. Mr. 011endorff said several councilmembers had requested such a bill and the city at- torney is working on it presently. It will be introduced atone of the January meetings. Mr. Sabol wished everyone a happy and healthy holiday season. Mayor Mooney and other councilmembers concurred. Mrs. Metcalfe said she had one last item, pertinent to the St. Louis County Coun- cil and to cable television. She said she was incensed that the County Council has granted a cable television franchise to a company whose major local stockhold- er owned a great deal of comme-rcial and non-commercial property in University City, and who has caused the City to go to court because he has not reinvested in his property and kept it up to code. She felt the City should communicate with County Executive McNary, who apparently is considering a veto, and with University City's representative on the Council to let both of them know how the Council feels about this. She felt the awarding of the franchise was an affront to University City. Mr. 011endorff said there were many outstanding violations against corporations in which this individual is an officer. ADJOURNMENT Mr. Sabol moved that the meeting be adjourned. Mrs. Metcalfe seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mayor Mooney adjourned the meeting at 10:01 P.M. & 4,L4__ J• Dolores A.'Miller City Clerk
