Regular Session _ August 6, 2012 — 128 Mr. Voss confirmed that the fee structure is assessed by landlord, rather than by unit. He asked how many landlords will have to be registered. Mrs. Green answered that the City does not know how many. Once this Ordinance is adopted, landlords will have six months to register with the City. Mr. Voss asked about the seven opposing votes from the Cape Area Landlord Association, was there a common theme to their objection, or do they just oppose regulation. Mr. James Shandy, of 3702 Old Hopper Road, addressed the Council and said that he has been in the rental business for 46 years. He is opposed to this Ordinance because he did not see the need for a licensing requirement. He said that it is nice to have an Association, but it is nice to have due process to make decisions in an association. He didn't feel due process was granted, and that is why he is opposed to this Ordinance. If there is to be a regulation controlling landlords, it should have been presented to the organization before the Council would make decisions about it. Mr. Shandy said that the extra regulations will be a burden, and it will be an imposition that will decrease growth in Cape Girardeau. He could see na beneficial reason for this Ordinance. COMMUNICATIONS/REPORTS Mayor Rediger urged all citizens to vote on Tuesday. He said that he had presented a Proclamation to Mr. Ron Nall this past Wednesday, recognizing his 20`h year as conductor of the Cape Girardeau Municipal Band.

He had thrown the ceremonial first pitch, and Vic Lanzotti, son of Mark Lanzotti, caught the pitch. Mr. Lanzotti said that he had attended the tournament with the perspective of a participant. He said that 16 teams from all over Missouri attended, with over 400 boys and their families in town. He heard from many people about the professionalism and flawlessness of the tournament. Mr. Lanzotti commended Parks and Recreation Department Director Julia Thompson and her staff for their work on this tournament. City Manager Scott Meyer updated the Council on the Broadway Corridor project. The contractor is ahead of schedule, and the goal is to progress past Sprigg Street prior to the opening of the fall semester at Southeast Missouri State University. The street lamps will be delivered and installed this fall. The trees that have been planted are irrigated, but no more will be added until late fall. The wayfinding signage bid opening will be next week. Work is being done on parking lots and Main Street as well. Mr. Meyer commended City staff and partners in contracting and supplying for this project. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set for a public hearing regarding the proposed property tax rates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, the hearing was opened. There being no appearances, the hearing was closed. APPEARANCES Mr. Mike Buchanan, of 221 Brandy Lane, in Wild Horse Creek Ranch Subdivision, addressed the Council regarding the second and third readings of BILL NO. 12-82, an Ordinance annexing unincorporated land into the City limits. He said that the City's position on accepting the street maintenance has been a subject of disagreement and he has sought legal review of this policy and Proceedings of the City Council, City of Cape Girardeau, Mo. Regular Session August 6, 2012 II -129 sent a letter to the City Attorney. He said that when this annexation began, a member of City staff told him that if a subdivision plat were recorded with the streets dedicated for public use, the City would be obligated to provide street maintenance. Now he is told that since the County did not maintain the streets, the City would not either, and since the property lines extend to the center of the streets, the City cannot accept them for maintenance. Mr. Buchanan said that it appears that the City is trying to extend as little maintenance to the subdivision residents even though they are paying City taxes. He has been a resident and ran a business in Cape Girardeau for over 20 years. It appears that the City is looking to get what it can from the residents of this subdivision, and that is contrary to the spirit if the City. Mr. Buchanan said that if there is a grey area in this subject, the residents should be given the benefit of the doubt, and maintenance should be extended to the subdivision's streets. Mayor Rediger said that he was recently in discussions about this with the subdivision residents and he felt that City staff had answered many of the residents' questions relating to trash collection and other issues. The City is still willing to meet and discuss street maintenance costs, the cost of bringing the subdivision streets up to City standards snow removal, and other maintenance costs. Mr. Buchanan said that the City staff he has dealt with have been great and have researched all the residents' issues. The director of the City's solid waste collection visited one day to see what streets in the subdivision the collection trucks could and could not travel. He felt that because of the way the plat is recorded, the City is obligated to provide street maintenance. Mr. Buchanan said that if there is a question about it, the City should take the street maintenance, instead of trying to do the least it can get by with. Mr. Bill Bennett, of 258 Ashley Drive, addressed the Council regarding the annexation. He said that it is bad public policy for the City to annex land and not accept financial responsibility for the public areas of the annexation. The plat shows that the streets are dedicated for public use. The City will not offer a reduced tax rate even though it is not providing street maintenance. Mr. Bennett asked about contiguous portions of their property, and if this annexation is voluntary. He said that State statute says that the 15% of the proposed annexed property must be contiguous to current City property. City Attorney Eric Cunningham stated that the conditions for contiguous area are different for voluntary annexation.

Mr. Voss said that he had asked Mayor Rediger and Council Member Summers for their support to place this Ordinance on the agenda for the Council's consideration. He said that he had thought about the discussion regarding this issue in the community and how divisive it was. The group Cape Friends of Wildlife has been staunch in its opposition, and he applauded their efforts to follow the Charter and get the signatures to bring this issue to the people for a vote. He said that the Council could resolve the issue quicker than the petition process. He understood that the matter will probably go to a vote, and he felt that most residents want a chance to weigh in on the subject. A presidential election is set for November, and this issue could be on the ballot at the same time.

The Cape Friends of Wildlife still intend to move forward with the petition drive and thatcould make the Council's action tonight uncertain. Mayor Rediger said that he felt this Ordinance was a good offer from Council Member Voss, and he thought Mr. Voss' reasons were valid. Hetoo had spoken with members of the Cape Friends of Wildlife, including Mr. Steven Stigers. The Mayor said that he was iiitially enthusiastic about this Ordinance, but then backed from supporting it because he felt the best method to take is to let the group follow through with their referendum petition process. Mrs. Schneider said that she agreed that there are too many unanswered questions and felt it would be best for the group to proceed with its petition process. Mrs. Swan said that she will not support this Ordinance. She agreed that it is best if the Cape Friends of Wildlife continue with their petition process tcput the matter on the ballot. Mr. Lanzotti said that if the petitions are verified, then the Ordinanceadopted relating to the Urban Deer Hunt will be suspended from taking effect,functionally prohibiting an urban deer hunt. Mr. Cunningham said that upon submission and verification of the completed petition by the Petitioner's Committee, the Ordinance they are acting on is suspended until such time as the Council repeals the ordinance or the results of anelection are certified The motion to approve the first, second, and third readings of BILL NO. 12-110 and adopt the Ordinance as presented failed upon the following roll call vote: Rediger, nay; Schneider, nay; Swan, nay; and Voss, aye; Lanzotti, nay.

Mr. Lanzotti said that the Girardeau Goes Green Advisory Board had a number of qualified applicants for their positions, and they had created meaningful roles for those applicants to participate with the Board even without formal appointment. He encouraged the Library Board to find ways to include the applicants as volunteers. Mrs. Swan said that she had several conversations with people who lived in the City, who were not members of the library district. The library district boundaries are not the same as the City limit boundaries, and many Cape Girardeau residents have to go to the Riverside Regional Library in Jackson. Mayor Rediger said that the library districts were set long ago, and their boundaries continue to be a question of the State Legislature. Library Director Betty Martin remarked that an out -of -district library card is available for $60 per household, per year. Proceedings of the City Council, City of Cape Girardeau, Mo.
