MEETING CALLED TO ORDER <br /> <br />At the Regular Session of the City Council of University City held on the fifth floor of City Hall, on <br />Tuesday, May 27, 2014, Mayor Shelley Welsch called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br />B. ROLL CALL <br />In addition to the Mayor the following members of the Council were present: <br /> <br /> Mr. Rod Jennings <br /> Dr. Paulette Carr <br /> Mr. Stephen Kraft <br /> Mr. Terry Crow <br /> Mr. Michael Glickert <br /> Mr. Arthur Sharpe, Jr. <br /> <br />Also in attendance was the City Manager Lehman Walker. <br /> <br />C. APPROVAL OF AGENDA <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert made a motion to amend the agenda by removing Resolutions 2014-12, 13, 16, 17, 18 <br />and 19, seconded by Mr. Sharpe. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert also requested that Caryn St. Clair be added for appointment to the Washington <br />University Advisory Board. <br /> <br />Mr. Jennings requested that Item K-1 under the City Manager’s Report regarding Wastequip be <br />removed from the agenda. <br /> <br />City Manager Lehman Walker requested that Bill 9229 for the traffic code and the budget public <br />hearing be removed from the agenda. He stated that the public hearing has been rescheduled to <br />June 9, 2014. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe moved to approve the agenda as amended, seconded by Mr. Glickert. <br /> <br />Dr. Carr stated that in her many years of serving on Council she has never seen another <br />Councilmember ask that an item being introduced by another Councilmember be removed. <br />Therefore she would like to ask Mr. Glickert for the basis of his request to remove the resolutions <br />that he asked to be continued to this meeting from the agenda? Mr. Glickert stated that the motion is <br />on the floor and he has nothing more to say. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow concurred with the statement of Dr. Carr and stated that he is sure that members of the <br />audience will find it ironic that resolutions as important as these that were introduced last week, <br />postponed until today, and then one hour ago he and Dr. Carr were told by what seems to be a <br />relatively clear majority of Council that the agenda would be amended to take them off of tonight’s <br />meeting. He stated that this was an effort to squelch dissent. Mr. Crow stated that during his term <br />on Council every one of his colleagues who have served as long as he has, have each taken a turn <br />in the minority. He could not recall when any council member has ever done anything like this to <br />each other, particularly on issues that have brought such negative attention to this City and needed <br />to be addressed. <br /> <br />
