At the July 8 meeting the city manager provided a monthly project and events report that included construction progress at Olive Crossing and several community events in July and September. "As the first meeting of the month, we're going to talk about Olive Crossing," the city manager said, reporting that structural steel has been erected on Lot 3, utilities are complete for that lot, rebar is in for a patio retaining wall and exterior framing is starting. Staff said electrical connection to the transformer and foundation pours for the retaining wall and interior stairs are forthcoming. The manager said Lot 5 negotiations are "a little ahead of schedule" and that the developer has "come to terms with a restaurant for the north half of Lot 5," adding that the restaurant name will be disclosed after a lease is signed. Lot 6 plans were reported on track for staff review after a planned submission by Sept. 1 and subsequent PCDC review under terms the council established earlier this year. Managers also briefed the council on civic events: "Coffee with the mayor" will be 8:30 a.m. at 5 Oaks the next morning and a Republic Services representative, Joelle Aguilar, will discuss trash, yard waste and recycling services; parks events include a free "splish splash and popsicle dash" July 23 at Warson Park splash pad from 5 to 6 p.m., a Chalk the Walk multi-day event July 17–20 at 5 Oaks and a Saints throwback skate on Aug. 16 at 5 Oaks. City staff asked council members to mark a placeholder meeting on Nov. 18 to avoid losing a November work session during Veterans Day week and Thanksgiving closures. No formal council action was taken on the development items at the July 8 meeting; staff provided updates and timelines.
