Also in attendance was City Clerk Karen Goodwin, City Attorney John Hessel and Police Chief Tim Lowery. Council President Schildroth stated that a quorum was present and the meeting was brought to order at 8:48 pm. Sports Equipment in the street - ordinance recommendation Chief Lowery explained the request for an ordinance that will help the police department to deal with complaints of sports equipment in the streets. This involves the actual gathering of kids, blocking the streets as well as the equipment, such as basketball hoops and hockey goals. Councilman Hernandez stated that he has several of these problem areas in his ward that are told to leave and they keep coming back, equipment and all. **Council President Schildroth asked the clerk to send a copy of the draft ordinance to the Council Mr. Hessel explained that there are regulations that exist but the Chief feels that they are difficult to enforce making them ineffective. Councilman Eagan asked if the Police Department would take a warning stance initially. Chief stated yes. Councilman Caputa stated that he had issues in his ward as well. Councilman Lee stated that he feels it will be a good tool. It will be a tool to deal with the complaint issues but not necessarily require the police to go looking for issues. Councilman Grib stated that this is a good way to deal with the proliferation of equipment in the street.

15 Councilman Stinnett asked if this involves activity and equipment. Chief Lowery and Mr. Hessel stated that it is intended to limit both the equipment and the activity. Councilman Grib asked if the 12ft was from the right of way or the street. Council President Schildroth stated that he would like to see this bill on the next agenda from council as a whole. Council agreed. Property Maintenance Councilman Lee stated that he has been working on some problem properties in his ward and had a discussion with the Mayor and Lou Jearls about how to get the more difficult problems with houses taken care of. Mr. Jearls stated that they did not have the ability to take care of the extra problems like limbs on the roof, gutters etc. because of safety concerns. Councilman Lee is proposing putting some money into the budget to contract with a "handyman" to take care of some of the issues such as gutters, branches on roofs. He would also like to put some money in the budget as well. Councilman Lee stated that he is waiting for the administration to come up with a number. Mayor stated that they are working on a number to submit for the Council Councilman Caputa stated that he would prefer we use local contractors. The Council discussed how the properties are maintained. Training for Boards and Commissions Councilman Lee stated that he feels that the boards and commissions need some basic parliamentary procedure training as well as Sunshine Law. More specifically the Board of Adjustment needs training relevant to their purpose as well as Planning and Zoning. Hessel recommended once a year at least and offered to do that training through his office. Councilman Hernandez stated that Dan Call stated that he is planning on resigning at the end of the year. Councilman Grib agrees with the training. He cautioned the Council that Dan Call is an engineer so replacing him will be more difficult. He also stated that he feels strongly that the

16 Board of Adjustment needs training as to their purpose. Planning and Zoning also needs ongoing training. Both these commissions are powered by state statute. Street Cleaning Schedule Councilman Caputa asked if we could have a schedule so that we can get cars off of the street on the days they will be on their street. Councilman Schildroth stated that with one street cleaner it would be difficult to do that. Mayor stated that the staff would look into it. Councilman Lee stated that it would be difficult to do that with the number of streets. Trimming Bushes on the trail Councilman Caputa stated that there about 8 streets from Mullanphy to Patterson that the trail runs accross. He feels that he bushes need to be trimmed back from the street for safety reasons. He pointed out the area at Violet and Humes to be a problem area. Councilman Lee stated that he agrees, but in defense of the city, they picked up a ton of maintenance when the trail was installed along with all of the vegetation. He feels that this time of the year it is very difficult to keep up. He said that if we can get a contract situation to take some of the burden off of the regular staff they may be able to keep up. Caputa feels that the bushes close to the streets need to be trimmed back away from the street for safety reasons. There being no further business to discuss Councilwoman Pagano moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Lee, motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 9:23 pm. Karen Goodwin, MMC/MRCC City Clerk

23 SERGEANT EDWARD SHARP On June 4, 2013, when officers on his watch responded to a home invasion, where the suspect forced the victim to give him money and the keys to his vehicle, Sergeant Sharp assisted in coordinating the investigation which eventually led the officers out of the Florissant City Limits. Knowing the urgency of apprehending the suspect, he directed the officers to continue to the suspect s location. As a result, the suspect was quickly apprehended, property was recovered, and warrants were obtained. Due to Sergeant Sharp s professionalism and teamwork this crime was quickly solved. Congratulations on a job well done! OFFICER MICHAEL KIEFER and OFICER AMEL TOPCAGIC On June 12, 2013, Officer Kiefer assisted Officer Topcagic in responding to investigate a possible Meth Lab. The officers were able to obtain consent to search the residence and located materials for making Methamphetamine in the garage, and drugs and paraphernalia inside the residence. The suspect was taken into custody without incident, and charged with possession, manufacturing, and distribution of Methamphetamine, possession of drugs and paraphernalia, and child endangerment. Due to the efforts of Officers Keifer and Topcagic, this felon was removed from the streets and a dangerous Meth Lab was shut down. Congratulations on a job well done!

24 OFFICER DANIEL HOWARD On July 27, 2013, Officer Howard observed a vehicle driving erratically. When he got behind the vehicle to stop it, Officer Howard observed the occupants reaching under the seats. Once the vehicle was stopped and the two occupants were removed Officer Howard located a handgun under the passenger seat. A computer check revealed that the gun was stolen. It was later discovered that the suspects were using the vehicle without the owner s permission. Due to the alert actions and diligent efforts of this officer, two potentially dangerous suspects and a stolen firearm were removed from the streets. Congratulations on a job well done! OFFICER MICHAEL KIEFER On July 30, 2013 Officer Keifer conducted a traffic stop on a white van that was occupied by numerous suspects for equipment violations. Officer Keifer called for backup and removed seven subjects from the vehicle. He observed several car stereo units and speaker, and upon further inspection, found several screwdrivers, leading him to believe that the stereo equipment was stolen. The suspects were taken into custody and the equipment was seized as evidence pending further investigation. Due to the alert actions and diligence of Officer Keifer, stolen property was recovered and additional thefts were prevented. Congratulations on a job well done!

150 From: Councilman Lee Re: Bill No Date: 9/6/13 Council MEMORANDUM The Mayor and City Council agree that Neighborhood Preservation and Stabilization are vital for protection of property values of all homeowners in the City of Florissant. We have been working hard to find ways to best deal with vacant and problem property issues that affect us as a community. We became aware of several homes in the City of Florissant where taxes had not been paid for 5 or more years. These properties have been offered for sale by the St Louis County Collector of Revenue for taxes, late charges and fees, and have not been sold. St Louis County will consider offers by municipalities who would like to acquire these properties. Bill number 8940 is being introduced as a first step to acquiring these properties which have not been paying taxes and may be considered "problem properties" to the City of Florissant. In some cases, the city has already been cutting the grass and having to deal with other issues at these properties. St Louis County requires an ordinance to show that we are interested in acquiring these properties, and will then consider our request. If the Collector of Revenue agrees, the City will begin the next step in the process, which involves doing a title search and proper notification to parties with a recorded interest in the property (section RSMO). If someone comes forward within 90 days of this notification and "redeems the property", they will have to pay ALL taxes, late charges and fees. This would include a refund of funds spent by the City of Florissant for the title search and notification costs. If the property is NOT redeemed, the City of Florissant will be issued a "Collectors Deed" for the property. The city will then file a "quit title" action with the Circuit Court of St Louis County, in an effort to assure we hold ownership with a clear title. Once the city takes ownership, it will be our goal to "stabilize" the property as soon as possible. We will then begin the process of finding a buyer who is willing to purchase the property, with the stipulation that they must make any and all repairs necessary to bring the home up to code and pass an occupancy inspection.
