Area Chamber of Commerce, made a joint presentation urging the Council to approve Bill
2003 -95 (Authorizing Contract with Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce for
Economic Development). They stated that the reason the Chamber is asking for a three -
year contract as opposed to the previous one -year contracts is to attract more qualified
candidates for the position of Director of Economic Development. They also reported on the
process currently under way to hire a candidate for that position.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 2, 2003 4
Mr. Jerome Jacobs, 316 Riverview Drive, retired Jefferson City fire fighter, made a
presentation regarding the 57 fire fighter retirees and widows currently receiving retirement
benefits. He stated that there has been only one increase (in 1988) from $100 to $300 per
month since the fund was established. He asked the Council to consider doing something
to increase the benefits for retirees and widows. He also stated that no retirees have ever
been appointed to serve on the city's Fire Fighter's Retirement Fund Board.
Mr. Jim Helming, 4105 Catalina, was present, and answered some questions asked by the
Council concerning the retirees' benefits.
Mr. Lonnie Brandt, Jefferson City Fire Fighter, and member of the Fire Fighters'
Retirement Fund Board, briefly explained how the fund is currently structured, and the issue
of amending the fund so that it is comparable with other City employee benefits. He stated
the Board is currently trying to determine what can and cannot legally be done to address
this issue.
Following these comments, Mayor John Landwehr stated he would be amenable to
appointing a Council Member as liaison to the Fire Fighters Retirement Fund Board, and
asked the Council to think about it and let him know if any one of them would be interested
in serving in that capacity. City Counselor Nathan Nickolaus answered a question about the
possibility of a retiree serving on the Board. He stated that could occur since the
composition of the Board allows for a certain number of citizens at large, and a retiree
would qualify to serve under that category.
Mayor Landwehr asked Councilman Edith Vogel, Chairman of the Appointment Review
Committee, to bring this issue to the attention of that Committee the next time a vacancy
occurs on the Fire Fighters Retirement Fund Board, and to also check into what it would
take to appoint a Council Member as liaison to the Board.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 2, 2003 8
Mayor John Landwehr suggested that in the future, when staff is aware that a public
hearing on an issue might be controversial enough to require a lengthy public hearing such
as the one which occurred on August 18, that a special meeting be considered just for that
issue. A discussion was held regarding placing a time limit on the length of public hearings,
or on testimony at hearings, etc. Mayor John Landwehr stated he would not be in favor of
limiting the length of input at public hearings since hearing public comments was the
purpose of holding public hearings. He stated that perhaps something could be done,
however, to eliminate some of the redundancy of testimony, and was open to suggestions.

lifting the moratorium. Councilman Clyde Angle stated he would like to place the bill on the

placed on the Informal Calendar. Councilman Angle stated he would withdraw the bill at this

on the bill as sponsor. City Administrator Rich Mays replied that Councilman Angle was the
one who brought the issue to the table at the last Public Works & Planning Committee
meeting. Questions were raised regarding how sponsorship of bills is determined.
Councilman Cliff Olsen wondered if the public has been put on notice that a levee (or road,
etc.) is going to be built in a specific area, that property owners who subsequently build in
the proposed area are doing so at their own risk.
