The Mayor said that the Salvation Army and Major Ben Stillwell were recognized during the
Study Session for their service and support to the community over the past twenty years. They
continue to serve an extensive number of families in our community, and the City is indebted to
them.
Mayor Rediger reported that the City's sales tax revenue is on a good trend due in part to the
strengthening economy and new and expanding businesses in Cape Girardeau. Sales tax revenue is
up slightly over 5% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.
Mrs. Schneider commended the Public Works Department on clearing the streets during the recent
bad weather. She reported that she has received numerous positive comments from citizens.
Mrs. Schneider said that unfortunately the City has no avenue to prevent the destruction of the
historic handball court at the River Campus. It is one of the oldest in the Midwest, and she would
hope that the University would consider keeping it in place.
