Session 1703, Minutes 2 <br />August 18, 1997 <br /> <br />opposing the bridge and Mr. Towers stated some others. Mr. Wagner felt the chief reasons were the <br />environmental and financial impact on the area. He is in favor of the resolution. <br /> <br />Mr. Munkel said that there was not a state plan for this region and he felt that it was premature to plan <br />the extension until the needs for the entire area could be reviewed. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams said that one of the problems with the Page Avenue extension is that three bridges <br />have been built over a period of several years to the St. Charles region. He wondered about how <br />many more bridges there really needed to be. There are many other infrastructure needs in the St. <br />Louis County and City area that are not being addressed by the Department of Transportation. He <br />feels that some of these issues should take priority and be addressed, <br /> <br />The City Clerk read the resolution which will become a permanent part of the minutes. <br /> <br />The all aye motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams noted that after signing, a copy will go to East-West Gateway, the County Council and <br />County Executive and to the Lieutenant Governor. <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS: <br /> <br />CONSENT CALENDAR (8 ITEMS) <br /> <br /># I o Street Improvement Assessments: The City Manager reported that each year the City Council <br />sets the special rate for paving of unimproved public streets. He recommended that the rate for the <br />current fiscal year be set at $36.67 per front foot, which is based on the change in construction cost <br />from last year to this. This figure also represents less than half of the full cost of such proiects with the <br />balance being paid with public funds. <br /> <br />#2 - Pick-Up Trucks: Invitations to Bid for providing two GMC pick-up trucks for the Central Garage <br />have been received.
