Session 1652, ~ Page 6 <br />October 2, 1995 <br /> <br />Ms. Mary Gannon, 7730 Burr Oak Iane, said apartment buildings in b~r area on <br />Wild Cherry ar~ Wild Plum had conditions r~cdirg attention--broken pavement, <br />refuse, broken glass, beer cans strewn about, broken screen doors, f~ in <br />poor repair, high weeds, etc. She appreciated receiving a quick response to <br />her letter fr~m the ad~ministr~tion but felt not enough was being done to get <br />the c~ners to maintain their properties. Mr. Adams agreed with her re~rks. <br /> <br />and r~ additi~mal lights. Mayor Majerus said a city employee with lighting <br />expertise will take a look to see what can be done. <br /> <br />MS. Sue Slater, 7543 Drexel, said parents of Jackson Park School students are <br />very upset because the crossing guard at Balson and Hanley was removed. She <br />said about 20 children (not three as stated in the justification for removing <br />tb~ guard) ~ this crossing and should be protected. Also, the 22 seconds <br />allowed for crossing was not enough time for small children. She sxggested <br />adding a one ce~t sales tax on business and entertainment in University City <br />to provide money for crossing guards and other school uses. <br /> <br />Mr. Larry Slater, 7543 Drexel, said a child's life is worth more than the <br />cost of a crossing guard; if a life is lost at this intersection, a ~ard <br />would be placed there immediately. <br /> <br />Mayor Majerus drew attention to a resolution which expresses the City Coun- <br />cil's support fc~ expansion of MetroLink on the 1-170 Cross County Corridor. <br />Mr. Adams moved approval. Mr. C~tton seconded the motion, and all voted Aye. <br /> <br />Mrs. Schuman thought perhaps an important resolution such as this might be <br />taken up earlier in the meeting when more people are present. Mr. Schoc~er <br />suggested changing the fbuncil operating rules to present resolutions and <br />proclamations before the City Manager's agenda. Mr. ~ so moved, <br />seconded by Mrs. Schuman. All voted Aye. <br /> <br />Mayor Majerus called attention to a proclamation which designates the week of <br />October 22-29, 1995, as Red Ribbon Week. Mr. Wagner moved approval. Mrs. <br />Tbxm~n seconde~ the motion, which carried unanimously. <br /> <br />BILL NO. 8225 - AM~gDING C~{~fER 34 ~3NICIPAL OODE BY (~%NGING THE CLASSIFI- <br />CATIC~ OF CERTAIN PRDPER~Y AT OR NEAR 1000 PENNSYLVANIA FRCM "PR-0" PIANNED <br />RESI~FFICE TO "GC" G~qERAL ~, AS SET FORPH IN SECTION 34-9 <br />OF THE UNIVERSIT~ CITY ZONING CODE. <br />Bill No. 8225 was again deferred. <br /> <br />BILL NO. 8254 - Rf~FEWING AN EXISTING FRANCMISE AND GRANTING FOR A PERIOD OF <br />TEN YEARS TO LACIR~E GAS CCMPANY ~HE AUTHORITY TO OPERATE IN UNIVERSITY CITY <br /> <br /> <br />
