1. <br />Reciprocal golf agreement with the City of Creve Coeur. <br />Mr. Walker noted that this was a trial agreement until the end of this year. It was <br />done in an effort to increase the use of University City’s golf course and he would <br />come back to Council with a report at that time. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci moved for approval and was seconded by Mr. Crow. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert asked if the City of Ballwin forwarded any information as to why they did <br />not want to become part of this agreement. Mr. Walker said there was nothing in <br />writing from Ballwin as to why they did not want to join in the agreement. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow asked if University City’s agreement with the City of Clayton was for <br />reduced rates on both the driving range and the golf course. Mr. Walker said it was <br />for a reduced rate for both. <br /> <br />Voice vote for approval carried unanimously. <br /> <br />2. <br />Additional funding for the new firehouse #1. <br />Mr. Walker noted the estimated construction cost exceeds the amount of money <br />currently available and the staff is requesting additional funding of $694,494 from <br />the reserves. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft moved for approval and was seconded by Mr. Ricci. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft asked if Council was voting on the $674,000 at this meeting or was there <br />going to be a budget amendment proposal approving of the money transfer. <br /> <br />Mr. Walker said the vote tonight was for staff to proceed with the design and <br />bidding. He said the City would come back to Council for final approval of a fund <br />transfer for any additional funds needed. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci asked when the City learned that there would be a shortfall in the money <br />needed in addition to the grant. <br /> <br />Mr. Walker said that the money received from the grant was not the amount <br />requested. He asked Fire Chief Don Miner to give a summary of the process. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Don Miner stated the original request was for a 16,000 square foot <br />building and the submission for the grant was based on those figures at the time. <br />He said the City was awarded a less amount than requested. Fire Chief Don Miner <br />said they planned to build the building to the same degree as what was originally <br />submitted. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci asked if $183.00 per square foot is reasonable and if the staff learned <br />there was going to be a $600,000 shortfall after the last budget process. She asked <br />if there was an opportunity then to say no, we don’t want it, or yes, then committing <br />the City to provide the additional money from the reserves or deciding on less of a <br />firehouse than what was originally planned. <br /> <br /> 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
