Session 1480, Minutes Page 6 November 7, 1988 In response to Mr. Adams, Mr. Bruno said it was anticipated that the street University Place will be changed to North Bemiston. Mr. Wagner said he had same ongoing concerns about the common open space which is in the flood plain, and he asked what the current plans were for that area. Mr. Bruno said it was anticipated that the Hanley frontage will be fenced, and a landscape plan consisting of landscaped open space with provisions for sculpturing the ground in berms with walking/jogging trails will be submitted. He said the developers were working with the Army Corps of Engineers and MSD in conjunction with their long range plans for improving the creek. Mr. Adams called the question, and all voted Aye except Mr. Wagner, who voted Nay. LIQUOR LICENSE TRANSFER - 7819 OLSVE BOULEVARD The City Manager reconuended approval of a transfer of the liquor license for Mt. Olive Tavern to Mt. Olive Enterprise, Inc., Donna K. Manco, applicant/man- ager. He said the previous owner was deceased, and his son formed a new cor- poration to carry on the business. He said there have been no unusual prob- lems with this location, and no reason to deny the transfer. Mr. Adams moved approval. Mr. Schoomer seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. �5 WOOD The City Manager said a Council subco mnittee studying existing travel policies for elected officials wished to report on its recommendation. Councilmember Price outlined the changes that are being proposed, as noted in the material received by councilmembers last Friday. He said the major chang- es were to delete the non -authorization of a rental car, since it is sometimes less expensive to rent a car than use taxicabs; increase meal allowances to adjust for inflation (breakfast --$5.00 to $6.00, lunch --$8.00 to $12.00, and dinner --$12.00 to $25.00); a travel entitlement of up to $2,000 for each coun- cilmember; yearly budget adjustment to allow for location of meetings; addi- tional councilmember reimbursement for personal funds expended for travel if there are funds left in the travel budget at the close of the fiscal year; possible additional entitlement if eouncilmember is an officer of a national or state organization; and elimination of the section limiting attendance at national conferences to the Mayor and three councilmembers. Mr. Adams sug- gested that public transportation be added to the section on local transporta- tion. There was no objection to this addition. Mr. Price said that the sub- committee did not wish to increase the travel budget except to allow for in- flation, but wanted to give more latitude in terms of the ways travel funds may be used by including seminars or other such educational meetings. Mayor Majerus asked if a councilmember request for an additional entitlement would be approved by the Mayor or the Council. Mr. Schoomer felt it should be the same process as other budgetary matters, which would be through the Council. Mrs. Schuman suggested one wording change on page 2 to say that receipts are required rather than requested. Responding to Mr. Wagner, Mr. Price said
