Alexander Councilmember Sarah Richardson Councilmember Emily Hixson Shepherd A quorum was present. Also present: Dr. Marie Peoples, City Manager Mr. Neil Bruntrager, City Attorney Ms. Katie Nakazono, City Clerk PROCLAMATIONS Mayor Arnold read the proclamations in celebration of Juneteenth and Pride month. PUBLIC HEARINGS Proposed City Budget – Fiscal Year 2023 Mayor Arnold opened the public hearing. Eric Peterson, Director of Finance and Administration and Assistant City Manager, presented the proposed budget. [See Exhibit A] Councilmember Smith asked how often reports on the deficit will be given to Council. Mr. Peterson stated that his recommendation is quarterly. Councilmember Smith clarified that funds we aren’t expecting do not go to reducing the deficit. Dave Buck, 124 S. Elm Ave., requested a financial “State of the City”. He stated that he hopes that the City explores new, creative, and unconventional ways to drive revenue. He also stated that he thinks a financial advisory board is needed in the City. [See Exhibit B] Neil Bruntrager, City Attorney, entered the following into the public record: 1. Copy of the FY-2023 Budget. 2. Budget Presentation from the Director of Finance. Mayor Arnold closed the public hearing. June 7, 2022 Euclid Elms: An Application by Robert Keeney on behalf of Onder Properties LLC to Establish a Planned Environment Unit Procedure Within the “A4” Seventy Five Hundred Square Foot Residence District on an Approximately 1.09 acre tract of land located at the following addresses: 15 Euclid Avenue, 23 Euclid Avenue, 131 Euclid Avenue, and 133 Euclid Avenue Mayor Arnold opened the public hearing. Mara Perry, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief presentation (Exhibit C). She reviewed the history of Planned Environmental Units, history of the property, existing zoning, comprehensive plan analysis, PEU procedure, zoning, and parking. Councilmember Alexander asked about the parking. Ms. Perry explained the off-driveway parking. Councilmember Franklin asked where the other PEU is in the City. Ms. Perry stated that there is Webster Oaks Place, off of Elm. Councilmember Franklin asked about the water retention policy. Ms. Perry stated that they have to meet all of the stormwater requirements. Councilmember Alexander asked about sidewalks. Ms. Perry stated that they do require sidewalks on the frontage. Ms. Perry reminded them that this is just a preliminary plan to get the regulations in place. Councilmember Hixson Shepherd asked if the plan is for these to become individually owned unit homes. Ms. Perry stated that was her understanding but it would probably be better to ask the applicant. Councilmember Hixson Shepherd asked if there was going to be an HOA plan to take care of the shared space. Ms. Perry stated that they will need to put something in place. Councilmember Hixson Shepherd asked if there was a plan for a footpath to connect to Bell. Ms. Perry stated that there is not at this point. Ms. Perry reviewed the staff recommendations. Connie Evans, 512 Plateau, stated that the team has been responsive to the neighborhood and everyone is generally in favor of this project. The big concern is water runoff onto Bell. She also asked if there will be a building schedule. Are there provisions for an emergency that would prevent completion? Brad Peterson, architect, stated that we have to be careful how we sequence these and we will figure out how to do that. I am thinking we will start at the back or east to west. We are probably not going to build all of them at once. We have offered to meet and get together with the neighbors as the process goes. In terms of connecting Euclid to Bell, I don’t know that that is going to happen. 2 June 7, 2022 We are looking at a mixture of different size houses. What you are seeing is the maximum we can do. Councilmember Alexander asked about a commitment to homeownership vs. investors purchasing. Mr. Bruntrager stated that we don’t have a redevelopment agreement and can’t make these kinds of limitations. These are limitations that would exist between a lender and borrower. All we are doing is making sure it is meeting our zoning requirements. Councilmember Hixson Shepherd asked about the grading. Mr. Peterson stated that that will be taken into consideration. Dave Buck, 124 S. Elm Ave., asked about the goals of the project. [See Exhibit B] Councilmember Smith stated that he has talked to the bulk of the residents surrounding the development and they are in favor of it. I am in favor of it. I also want to put a memo in the minds of the Council, I would hope we can extend the sidewalks on both sides of the street all the way down. Councilmember Franklin stated that he thinks the Council and City in general need to talk about sidewalks in general and whether it creates walkability and safer streets. Elly Lang, 22 Euclid, stated that she is also overall supportive of the development but echoes concerns for affordable housing. She also commented on the future use of PEUs.

[See Exhibit B] NEW BUSINESS – MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS, CITY ATTORNEY, CITY MANAGER No New Business. UNIFINISHED BUSINESS BILL #9185 – THIRD READING On motion of Councilmember Franklin, seconded by Councilmember Richardson, BILL #9185 ENTITLED: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10 “PUBLIC WAYS AND PLACES,” ARTICLE II “EXCAVATIONS,” SECTION 10.110 PERMIT REQUIRED” TO INCREASE EXCAVATION PERMIT FEES WITHIN THE CITY OF WEBSTER GROVES, having been introduced and read twice on May 17, 2022, was taken up, it’s title read a third time, and placed upon its passage to become Ordinance #9185. Mayor Arnold called for the vote on Bill #9185. MEMBERS VOTING: AYES: BLISS, FRANKLIN, SMITH, ALEXANDER, RICHARDSON, HIXSON SHEPHERD, ARNOLD NOES: NONE Mayor Arnold stated that Bill #9185 was approved.

A PowerPoint from Mr. Peterson related to Bill #9187 will be included in the minutes. [See Exhibit D] Prior to the vote on the Consent Agenda, Councilmember Franklin asked when the last time was that we did anything with the courts at Larson Park. Scott Davis, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that the last time they got artificial turf was 2006. 5 June 7, 2022 Councilmember Franklin asked about the need to get these courts done. Mr. Davis stated that the seams are starting to split and will cause tripping hazards soon. These are the only turf courts we have in town. He asked about usage of the courts. Mr. Davis stated that they don’t have a counter but they are pretty well used. There is a different population that likes to use turf – it plays a little bit slower so senior players or people with mobility issues like to play on those surfaces sometimes. Councilmember Franklin stated that he was asking because he sees that they are $25,000 over budget and wondered if they could be delayed. Mr. Davis stated that they have been delayed a couple of times already. They were looking at replacing them with hard courts about two years ago, but people were pushing to keep the turf. Councilmember Franklin asked, long term, should we be getting rid of some courts in Webster Groves. Mr. Davis stated that Barnickle is the next one that may need it, and maybe it could be set for pickleball courts.

In that regard, I have just one question and one hope as you move forward: My one question is inspired by the very first sentence uttered by the President of the United States at every State of the Union Address: "The State of the Union is ___________." Strong? Healthy? Growing? Struggling? Etc.? So, I ask Council, given your budget work to date, "The financial state of the City of Webster is _______________." I wish someone would please fill in this blank to help us everyday common citizens better understand where things really stand. We just want a straight & honest answer. My one hope is that I would much rather see the city play offense and drive revenue growth versus playing defense and cutting spending and staff, the absolute worst action and last resort. The only notable revenue change in Eric's presentation, that I can see, is the Use Tax, budgeted to contribute $250,000 in 22‐23. Therefore, beginning July 1, I hope the city explores new, creative and even unconventional ways to drive revenue. Other cities around the country are doing it and reaping low hanging fruit. Plus, Webster has 17 different advisory boards and commissions but one is noticeably missing. Kirkwood has its "Citizens Finance Committee". Our School District has their Financial Advisory Committee that advises Pam Frazier and the School Board. In fact, Proposition S was developed and recommended by this committee. Personally, I think establishing this board would be far more relevant, valuable and urgent than the new Charter Review Advisory Board and its $5,000 budget. 1 EUCLID ELMS This may seem elementary, but Mara just covered the WHY. Now comes the WHY, or the goals to be achieved for this development project. Ideally, I hope they are SMART Goals ‐ Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and with a targeted timetable. We have been burned before. For if we learned anything from Douglass Hill, it is that setting weak, vague & broad goals upfront, with no clear strategic direction or focus, leads to weak outcomes. (Emily, you referenced this at least twice during your election campaign). Thus, I am simply asking what are the SMART Goals of Euclid Elms? For example, affordable housing at a specific price point for a specific primary target? A housing solution that fights gentrification versus elevates it? Etc? REMARKS OF VISITORS In the 21 years I have lived here, the city has never developed a true, comprehensive strategic plan. Marie & Eric initiated a genuine Strategic Planning Process last December that unfortunately got curtailed due to the election campaigns and city budget crisis. As such, I sincerely hope Council picks up this critical task after July 1. And if you need any inspiration, I encourage you to review the 19‐page strategic plan of the City of Kirkwood, a plan they officially revisit and update every 5 year cycle. It is excellent, in my opinion and extremely well‐thought out. Kirkwood, like other St. Louis cities, was impacted by the pandemic but, to the best of my knowledge, it is weathering the storm better than Webster is. The very big elephant in the room is that Webster has long lacked a strong, growing and resilient tax base. Yet, we vote down economically attractive projects like The Mills Project and Douglass Hill, and reject any box stores, whereas Kirkwood has a different vision and approved, built and benefits long‐term from Kirkwood Station and its big box stores south of Big Bend while preserving Old Kirkwood and its beautiful neighborhoods, resulting in lower residential taxes than Webster. In short, they made it work!!! Bottom-line: when you return and engage once again in serious strategic planning, take a long look into the future. What kind of Webster Groves do you see and want to be? 2 Exhibit C 6/8/2022 1  6/8/2022 • • • • • • • • 2  6/8/2022 • • • • 3  6/8/2022 • • • • • • 4  6/8/2022 • • • • • • • • 5  6/8/2022 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 6  6/8/2022 • • • • 7  6/8/2022 • • • • • • 8  6/8/2022 • • • • • 9  6/8/2022 • • • • • • • 10  6/8/2022 • • • • 11  6/8/2022 Recommendation – Recommendation Continued – 12  6/8/2022 Recommendation Continued – Recommendation Continued – 13 Exhibit D Ordinance 9187 Implementing A Pay Grade System Eric Peterson Asst.
