<br />noted Habitat is requesting a tax abatement for the new project that will be on <br />Plymouth. According to state statutes UCity would issue a blighting declaration for the <br />properties and Habitat would apply for a tax-abatement which would be accompanied <br />with a redevelopment plan. Mr. Meyer stated these parcels are vacant and no <br />residents would be displaced as a result of the blighting plan, redevelopment project, <br />or construction in the area. He said the area met the statutory definition of blighting by <br />reason. He stated this project was in keeping with the City’s Comprehensive Plan <br />update of 2005 and again was in partnership that was established with the City <br />Council in January 2011. The Blighting Analysis and Redevelopment Plan were <br />presented to the Land Clearance Redevelopment Authority and the Planning <br />Commission. Both entities approved the plan. Since there were no other requests to <br />speak, Mayor Welsch closed the Public Hearing at 6:53 p.m. <br /> <br />J. CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br />K. CITY MANAGER’S REPORT <br />1. <br />Purchase of a street sweeper from Woody’s Municipal Supply for $183,791.00. <br />Mr. Sharpe moved to approve the purchase of a street sweeper, was seconded by <br />Mr. Glickert and the motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />2. <br />Liquor License for Corner 17, 6623 Delmar Blvd. – by the drink including Sunday <br />sales. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert moved to approve the liquor license and was seconded by Mr. Kraft. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow said he had a couple of questions noting the five recommendations from <br />citizens of University City were needed and three of the folks never listed an <br />address, therefore Council has an incomplete application before them. Mr. <br />Walker asked the Director of Finance to speak to that. Ms. Charumilind stated the <br />Finance Department could go back and complete these addresses. Mr. Crow <br />stated you may be able to so, but at the end of the day Council was voting on an <br />application that needed five citizens from University City who have recommended <br />this business for a liquor license. Mr. Walker noted that he would withdraw the <br />application and work with the applicant to ensure that the information will be <br />provided at the next Council meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch reminded Council that if they see missing information on something <br />before the Council, prior to the meeting, it would be appreciated if they would call <br />the City Manager so he could make sure Council has the proper information as <br />they sat down at the meeting. <br /> <br />Ms. Carr had a question for that same application noting that the City Manager’s <br />signature was missing. <br /> <br />Mr. Walker pulled the Liquor License applications until the next Council meeting. <br /> <br />4. <br />Replacement of the Fire Department Command Vehicle award was recommended <br />to be awarded to Don Brown for total cost of $33,194. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
