Sb~ also introduced Margie Diekemper, one of their instructors and a University City resident. Ms. Kircher said the students bad an excellent ex- perience getting to know the community and working with City officials and c~m,au%ity members. They found the c~m,~nity diverse and c~hesive, with resi- dents c~,,~itted to its life and spirit. She said the i~act project the stu- dents are developing is an education program on cardiopu~ resuscitation to benefit residents, and they would welcome input. Ms. Kircher sun~marized sc~e of the main findings, and Mayor Majerus enoouraged all to read the as- sessment as it has val,,ahle information about the community. The Personnel report for the week ending Janury 7, 1995, was reoeived and or- dered filed. CITIZ~ CC~mZ~S Mr. Robert Atchison, said he was told a supermarket on Olive Boulevard wanted to erect a sign but he did not want Council to do anything to support a non- union bus/hess. As Olive is a state road, he asked if the state restricted signs. Mr. Ollendorff said the University City zoning laws are stricter than state laws and they take also preoedenoe. Mr. Cotton wished to know why the store has been picketed since opening. Mr. Atchison said the informational picketing tells tb~ public the store is non-union and pays sub~tandaxd wages. Ms. Essie Brown, 934 Briarwood Iane, said sb~ felt services in University city have deteriorated, particularly leaf pickup, and that it was especially bad this year with many leaves left on her block. Mayor Majerus suggested MS. Brown speak with Mr. Ollendorff after the meeting and give him all parti- culars. Mr. Ollendorff said leaf pickup was several weeks behind this year because of weather, personnel problems, and equipment breakdowns; additional equipment will be in next year's budget and the City will also try to figure out a better way to organize this task.
