Motion carried. <br /> <br />Special Budget Request <br />Mr. Edwards presented a special budget request to the Board on behalf of the Loop Special <br />Business District. Due to recent security issues in the Loop, business owners would like for the <br />City to install security cameras. Mr. Edwards discussed options, including a proposal he <br />received from one company. The estimated cost of the system is $160,000 and it could be <br />controlled and monitored remotely. The system could be expanded when necessary or funds <br />permit. The Loop Special Business District will work with the University City Police <br />Department on the details of the system. <br /> <br />It is critical that the security system be installed this fiscal year, prior to peak summer pedestrian <br />traffic. Mr. Edwards requested $160,000 in reserve funds for the project. The FY12 request <br />from the Loop Special Business District would therefore be reduced by $10,000, to reflect the <br />project in FY11. <br /> <br />After some discussion, there was a motion to approve the request by Tim Tucker, seconded by <br />Stacy Clay. The motion carried. <br /> <br />There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Andrea Riganti, Acting Secretary <br /> <br />
