PUBLIC FORUM
Chair Burkett called upon those persons who had signed cards to speak at the
Public Forum.
Ms. Rena Grabel, 10949 N. Warson Rd., addressed the County Council and stated
her displeasure with the recent repair of the sidewalk in front of her house by St.
Louis County whereby Ms. Grabel indicated "cold patch" asphalt had been used to
repair the concrete sidewalk. She also questioned if St. Louis County planned to
address the "junky and trashy" condition of her neighbors' yards. Ms. Grabel noted
that St. Louis County previously cited them for similar concerns and she stated her
opinion that this matter now needed to be addressed with her neighbors. Ms. Grabel
also restated her concerns regarding the "excessive" illumination of property across
the street from her home and the resultant affect this had on her home life. She
asked for the County Council's assistance with these matters and submitted
photographs to Councilman Burkett for review.
Councilman Burkett responded that she would look into Ms. Grabel's concerns.
Ms. Jennifer Ahrens, 9404 Lavern Pl., Affton, addressed the County Council and
expressed her concerns regarding a purported development that could eventually force
her to sell her home in the Affton community. She questioned if "eminent domain"
could be used to force the residents to sell. Ms. Ahrens reported that the
residents living near her are not interested in selling their property and she
related the improvements she has made to her home since she purchased it in 1993.
She described the neighborhood as well kept with well-built homes and related that
she is anxious that she may lose her home to this development. Ms. Ahrens
questioned what commercial venues would be included in the development and suggested
that more attention be given to encouraging the existing small, family-owned
businesses to remain in the Affton area.
Public Forum - Continued
Councilman Campisi responded to Ms. Ahrens' concerns and stated that he would
be happy to discuss this matter further with her following tonight's Council
Meeting.
Ms. Ahrens agreed to meet with Councilman Campisi following tonight's Council
Meeting.
County Executive Dooley also responded to Ms. Ahrens' concerns stating that
St. Louis County has approved no project in this regard, that there is nothing on
record with St. Louis County concerning this project and that the information being
circulated is only rumors. County Executive Dooley pointed out that there is a
process that needs to be completed whereby the St. Louis County Planning Commission
would review a request for development and would then forward their recommendation
to the County Council for its consideration. County Executive Dooley assured Ms.
Ahrens that has not happened, emphasizing that no request has been presented to St.
Louis County for this purported development in the Affton community.
Mr. Tim Fischesser, 121 S. Meramec, representing the St. Louis County
Municipal League, addressed the County Council and expressed his appreciation for
the Council's consideration of the local Use Tax proposal and further stated his
support for placing the request for the local Use Tax on the November 4, 2008 Ballot
(Relates to Bill No. 237, 2008 pending on tonight's Perfection of Bills). Mr.
Fischesser recognized that there is time urgency involved with approving this
request and thereby gaining approval to place it on the November Ballot, noting that
the ballots have to be prepared soon to meet the absentee ballot deadline primarily
for our military men and women serving outside the United States. He related that
many of the municipalities are pleased with this proposal, noting that this Use Tax
would generate tax from
Public Forum - Continued
purchases above $2,000.00 that are presently exempt when purchased from other
States, stating about 10% of the items purchased in St. Louis County are purchased
out of State. Mr. Fischesser noted that the hope is to "close that loophole" on the
present tax exemption related to products in excess of $2,000 purchased by St. Louis
County residents from out of state vendors.
Mr. Fischesser pointed out that one of the uses of the revenue from this local
Use Tax would be to update and enhance communications equipment for our first
responders, local firemen and police officers, thereby insuring their ability to
communicate successfully with each other during a crisis in the St. Louis County
area.
There being no other persons who wished to speak at the Public Forum, Chair
Burkett ordered the Public Forum closed and the Council to proceed with the next
item on the Order of Business.
