VERSION 1 <br /> <br /> <br />Commission concerning Ameren U E’s request for a rate increase. He said it was <br />well attended and thanked Councilmember Mr. Price and Ms. Brot for their <br />attendance and participation. He also thanked City Manager Ms. Feier for <br />attending and reporting many facts about the outages in University City. He is <br />disturbed that charges for University City’s electricity usage remain the same even <br />though a very large number of the street lights are not working. Mr. Docket said <br />that the citizens called for a rate reduction or a rebate. <br /> <br />Carl Cibulka, 1421 Coolidge <br />Mr. Cibulka was concerned about the fumes and noise from gas powered <br />generators. He would like the Council to address the issue of the <br />C-1-g <br />placement of these generators so as to decrease their disturbance and <br />hazardous nature to the neighbors.

She wanted to take this opportunity to go on <br />record saying that University City’s administration failed in not allowing UCityUnited <br />to publish their next meeting date in U.City’s quarterly community newspaper, “City <br />Scape”. Ms. Brot said that UCityUnited is not political and desires to relate the <br />history of their group to University City citizens and to explain their purpose is to <br />examine what actually goes on in the Commissions and the City Council. Their <br />purpose is to keep citizens informed of the actions of University City’s government. <br />This organization does not sponsor any candidates running for political office. Ms. <br />Brot felt this was a well informed organization and we should encourage them to <br />continue educating our citizens about University City’s government. <br /> <br />Thirdly, she thanked the administration and the City Clerk for creating a numbering <br />system for the agenda packet which allowed easier referencing of material which <br />supports agenda items. Fourthly, Ms. Brot wanted to publicize that the Olive <br />Business Association is promoting a celebration of the Chinese New Year in front of <br />Royal Bank on February 19, 2007. <br /> <br />Lastly she asked the mayor to include a representative from the Historic <br />Preservation Commission on the Economic Development Commission as a non- <br />voting member, equivalent to the representatives from the Loop and the Olive <br />Business Association. Ms. Brot stated that much of the area covered by the bill <br />included historic areas. Ms. Brot then congratulated assistant principal Burgdorf of <br /> <br /> <br />
