Chair (Speaker 1) opens meeting asking for visitor comments. Resident Dave (Speaker 2) requests three minutes and raises concern that Webster Groves loses retail sales to big-box and chain stores outside the city and asks whether perimeter locations (e.g., Yorkshire Shopping Center, South Brentwood parcel owned by Jim Ander and Brian McLean) could host major retailers to boost the city's sales-tax revenue base.
