Session 1768, Minutes October 2 I, 1999 AGENDA ~ - I170/OLIVE DEVELOPMENT (SCHOOMER): Mr. Schoomer wanted the Council to be prepared to act if the Sansone Project fails in Overland. Mr. Ollendorff stated that he and the Overland City Manager have discussed hiring a consultant to develop a plan on a joint development project. Council agreed this would be an excellent move on the City's part. Mr. Ollendorff reported that the Interstate clover designed interchange that had been planned here is now a dead project. East West Gateway has given the project a low priority. The developer interested in this area is pushing for a diamond interchange. Mr. Ollendorff suggests talking with the City of Creve Coeur, because they are also looking at the diamond design. He wants to make sure that the City's best interest is not being overlooked and may even suggest a consultant to this end. Council agreed that more research is needed on the diamond design and suggested that the City Manager direct his staff to talk with the City of Creve Coeur and get back with Council. AGENDA #5 - POLICE AND TRASH CHARGES (SCHOOMER): Mr. Schoomer wanted to clarify the costs for bagged leaf pickup. Mr. Ollendorff stated that through the end of December, citizens may have bagged leaves picked up at no charge. It has to be only leaves, however, and no other waste. AGENDA #6 - UPDATE ON TRANSIT GRANT (SCHOOMER): Mr. Schoomer asked for an update on the transit grant. Mr. Ollendorff reported that Bi- State has not yet completed the RFP, so a consultant has not yet been hired. Hopefully, the RFP will be completed by December. The construction phase is not expected for another year. The money is not an issue, since it has been available for close to three years now. The first phase is the trolley study and the second phase is for the Delmar improvements. Sarah Smith at Bi-State is in charge of the project. AGENDA #7 - TEEN NEEDS ASSESSMENT (OLLENDORFF): A survey given to teens at the City's schools revealed that the City was not holding enough special one time events, such as dances and lock-ins. The sense of Council was to direct the City Manager to develop an appropriate action plan to develop more of these types of events. The events will be developed with safety in mind and will be available to residents only. Ms. Colquitt prompted discussion concerning procedures that could be instituted to allow friends and family to attend these events who weren't residents. Staff will explore these options and get back to Council.
