SESSION 1704 <br /> <br />MINLrFES OF THE UNIVERSITY CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />AUGUST 20, 1997 <br /> <br />A special meeting of the City Council of University City was held in Room 6 of City Hall on Wednesday, August 20, 1997, <br />to consider a time plan for making an appointment to the vacant third ward councilmember seat. Notice of the meeting <br />was posted Friday, August 15, 1997. Mayor Joseph L. Adams called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. In addition to the <br />Mayor, the following members of the Council were present: <br /> <br />Mr. Paul E. Schoomer <br />Mr. Lain/Lieberman <br />Mr. Hardy Ware <br /> <br />ABSENT: Mr. Robert Wagner, Mr. Wayne Munkel, Mrs. Betty Thompson. Also present was City Clerk Leisha Meine. <br /> <br />City Clerk Leisha Meine suggested two possible timelines to begin the process of filling an appointment to the third ward <br />seat that will soon be vacated by Mrs. Betty Thompson. Both timelines will fulfill the Charter requirement of appointing <br />within sixty days of a vacancy. <br /> <br />The best scenario presented was to begin accepting applications for prospective appointees immediately until September <br />15th. At this time Council would review each application and have a candidate by the week of October 6th. A special <br />session will need to be held during this week in order to make a decision. The swearing-in ceremony would be scheduled <br />for the regular Council Meeting on October 13, 1997. <br /> <br />Mr. Ware moved that the process and above timeline for a Third Ward councilmember appointee be instituted as <br />proposed. Mr. Schoomer seconded, which carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Being that there was no further business, Mayor Adams adjourned the meeting at 7:15 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />
