Session 1770 November 22, 1999 stated that it appeared, according to the site plan, that parking would be adequate. Two homes are being purchased north of the main facility, so that additional parking will be provided as well as to the west of Partridge where a building is being demolished. Mr. Rose stated that the developers were present, if Council had further questions. Mr. AI Levine, 8630 Deimar, is the architect for Victory Outreach. He submitted a letter to the City Clerk which detailed the parking situation. Most of the conditions are for the development once the project is complete. Construction drawings are being prepared sometime this week and the church should be in operation mid year of 2000. The conditions have to be met by the time the church opens up. The church has adequate parking for 560 people in the existing lot. They also will provide shuttle service to a parking lot that they own just outside the city limits at Page and Pennsylvania. They also have a letter from the Agape Center down the street offering to let them use their parking lot on Sunday as well. Mr. Lieberman asked if the condition not to exceed the 550 patron capacity no more than four times per year would be a problem. Mr. Levine directed the question to the owners. Mr. Lieberman said that he thought the church was an asset to that whole area and he congratulated the owners on being good neighbors. Responding to Mr. Munkel, Mr. Rose stated that staff recognizes that on certain occasions such as, Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving, there will be a higher attendance. Mr. Rose explained that it would be managed on a complaint basis. Pastors Lee and Doris Rice, 7091 Olive, stated that the four time limit would not hurt them and they accept this condition. The motion to approve carried unanimously. AGENDA #3- MUNICIPAL CANDIDATE FILINGS AND CERTIFICATION: With the passing of HB 676, which enacted several amendments and additions to the state's election laws, the Council may wish to discuss two issues. The first issue deals with how to clarity the City Clerk's duties in regards to certifying candidates or in some instances, not certifying candidates. At filing, the City Clerk will issue a notice to each candidate which will remind them that Missouri law allows no person to be certified as a candidate for municipal office who is in arrears for any unpaid city taxes or municipal user fees. What Council needs to make clear is if the City Clerk will also be responsible for researching each candidate's payment history, in addition to handing out the notice. Secondly, the Council needs to decide whether or not a filing lottery should be instituted. 3
