It was decided to dispense with the reading of the minutes of April 17, May 1 and 15. 1990 for the present time. Harold Berchman, 2705 NE 46th Street, K.C., MO 64117 representing Harry Hemphill for a business license application to operate American Boiler Service, Inc. at 412 Business Park Lane. This would be Boiler sales and repair. This was approved subject to the payment of the fee. Doug Molyneux, 4919 NW Gateway, presented business license for Molyneux Distribution, Inc. This is a place for showing (showroom) furniture for customers to see. This is wholesale only and maybe later he will have retail. This was approved subject to the payment of the fee. At this point in the meeting, the Board of Aldermen considered closing the meeting and going into closed session. There had been no prior notice for this closed session due to the fact that it was impossible to give notice because of the shortness of time and there was no practical way to give any notice. The good cause justifying departure from this normal notice requirement was because of the fact that a request for a personnel hearing was not made until 1:30 p.m. this date and it was not confirmed by the party's attorney until 3:30 p.m. this same date. Karr moved that the meeting go into executive session pursuant to RSMo. Section 610.021(3) for the specific reason of discussing the possibility of firing or disciplining an employee of the City of Riverside and also with the understanding that a public notice of this closed session was impossible as set forth above. This motionlAYas seconded by Rule, and the vote was as follows: Marshall, Teters, Karr and Rule voted yes; Shepard and Richardson absent. At this point, the meeting proceeded into closed session.
