It is not equal, but it is one way to maintain a viable city, to <br />encourage redevelopment of property, because we are a landlocked community. <br />Communication has begun between Wash U., the school district and the City on ways to <br />deal with these losses. There is not a simple answer, because this is not a simple <br />question. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner stated that we have asked Wash U. this same question and we are waiting for <br />the answer. We are asking them to be a good neighbor. <br /> <br />Mr. Wells had also wished for clarification on the type of government U.
