On October 18, 2006, Judge Patrick Clifford granted University City's <br />motion to dismiss the lawsuit because the allegations were insufficient as a <br />matter of law to state a case against University City. Saamen was given 20 days <br />to file an amended petition, but did not. Saamen did not file an appeal with the <br />Missouri Court of Appeals by the deadline of November 27, 2006. Therefore, <br />Judge Clifford's judgment in favor of University City is final. <br /> <br />630 Trinity Building <br />Staff met to discuss opportunities surrounding the . There <br />were a number of exciting alternatives considered. The accessibility of the <br />basement entry at 630 Trinity makes it a highly attractive space.

I will begin assessing the <br />construction requirements, timeline and cost required to relocate and reutilize the <br />existing offices for the upcoming budget cycle. <br /> <br />I received some feedback regarding changing the administrative procedures for <br />liquor license administration <br />. Individual feedback included instituting a six- <br />month waiting period for applications from proprietors of restaurants without <br />previous restaurant and liquor license experience. It was also suggested that I <br />begin to filter applications and advise administratively prior to submittal to <br />Council. I do not know how the Council feels as a whole. For purposes of <br />discussion, I have two applications from individuals without prior experience in <br />today’s packet. If I were to implement the two suggestions above, I would likely <br />redirect both applicants to resubmit applications based on backgrounds. Please, <br />contact me directly to discuss or schedule a study session to review the policy in <br />more detail. <br /> <br />Misc. <br />? <br /> UCRS, has posted that their services will be available by appointment only <br />through December 20. <br /> <br /> <br />
