and a post-meeting with members of the City to determine what they can do to make things <br />better. Ms. Jones stated that the University City Alumni Association has requested a meeting <br />with City officials with the hope of a meaningful dialogue, as the Alumni Association is willing to <br />work with University City in order to move this event forward in the future. Ms. Jones welcomed <br />any suggestions by Council and stated that she would appreciate hearing any comments that they <br />might have. <br /> <br />P. <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />Dr. Carr made the following comments: <br /> <br /> A subsequent investigation to determine the meaning of “The gang of five,” revealed an <br />article in the St. Louis American that addressed the 2006 U-City election wherein Mr. Price <br />was quoted as saying, “We are seeing things we have not seen before, shadowy <br />executive sessions, rumors, scandals, a lot of people are upset and worried”. In this <br />instance Mr. Price was eluding to what some have termed “The gang of four,” on City <br />Council, and not the Chinese political system. <br /> <br /> At no time has Mr. Gerald Greiman ever been her attorney. <br /> <br />Dr. Carr stated that she does not believe that just because an individual makes something a part <br />of the record that it gives anyone else the right to talk about it. She stated that she had come to <br />the conclusion that the release of the employee’s record had been mishandled based on the <br />advice of the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow hoped the Alumni Association will be provided an opportunity to have a meaningful <br /> <br />discussion with this City’s administration. Mr. Crow stated that he is concerned that many of <br />his colleagues have created an atmosphere in which Mr. Walker seems to be able to go <br />unfettered. He stated it is time for this Council to opine on what constitutes appropriate and <br />inappropriate conduct as it relates to the position of City Manager and City politics. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch reminded everyone of the following events: <br /> <br /> The Lofts of Washington University opened this past week. <br /> <br /> The United Provisions Grocery Store opens today in the Loop. <br /> <br /> The new Goodwill Store located on Olive will open on Thursday. Councilmember Sharpe <br />will be attending on her behalf for the ribbon cutting. <br /> <br />Mr. Jennings stated that last Tuesday the City administration and the School District worked <br />together to conduct National Night Out and a Back to School Rally that was held at the McNair <br />Administration Building. The House of Favor located on Woodson and Lackland will also be <br />rd <br />hosting a Back to School celebration on August 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. <br /> <br />Q. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Mayor Shelley Welsch adjourned the meeting at 8:04 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Joyce Pumm <br /> <br />City Clerk, MRCC/CMC <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />
