AN ORDINANCE FOR A CONTRACT WITH MIDWEST POOL MANAGEMENT LTD. FOR AQUATIC FACILITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
City Manager Gipson reported the Parks and Recreation Department issued a Request for Proposals for Aquatic Facility Management Services for Shaw Park Aquatic Center and the Center of Clayton on June 18, 2024. The current contract with Midwest Pool Management (MPM) runs through September 30, 2024, and, while we have been happy with their services, it has been three years since these services were publicly bid.
Three proposals were received in response to the RFP. One was from the current service provider, Midwest Pool Management (MPM), and two others were from companies located in Georgia and Florida (USA Management and The Sports Facilities Companies). Upon extensive review of the proposals, staff is recommending that the City enter into a three-year contract with MPM as the most responsive bidder. Toni Siering, Director of Parks and Recreation addressed the Board to answer questions. Alderman McAndrew introduced Bill No. 7037, approving a contract with Midwest Pool Management LTD for Aquatic Facility Management Services to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Buse seconded.

ORDINANCE – MODIFICATION TO THE MUNICIPAL TRAFFIC CODE RELATED TO ON- STREET PARKING ON WEST BILTMORE DRIVE
City Manager Gipson reported that staff recently conducted on audit of the City’s residential parking zones. During this audit, it was determined that some ordinances did not match current needs and usage. Specifically, the section of West Biltmore Drive between 925 S. Hanley Road and 7701 Clayton Road. This section of West Biltmore Drive is currently serving the parking needs of the condominiums at 925 S. Hanley Road and the law offices at 7701 Clayton Road.
The area is currently signed as unrestricted parking. However, during the audit of residential Parking zones it was discovered that the area is included in Table III-M of Schedule III, Parking Restrictions within the Clayton Traffic Code. This table restricts parking to residents only except for Sundays between 8:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. In addition, the residents of 925 S. Hanley Road have not historically been issued residential parking stickers, which allows them to park in the Davis Place neighborhood. Staff has since authorized the issuance of stickers to these residents since they are adjacent to the residential zone, as defined in the Code of Ordinances.
Staff recommends amending Table III-M to exclude this section of West Biltmore Drive to continue to serve the needs of the area.
Todd Nissenholtz, Cofman Townsley, owner of 7701 Clayton Road, addressed the Board expressing his support for the proposed change.
Kim Lipsey(?), 925 S. Hanley, President, Davis Place Association, addressed the Board in support of the proposed ordinance. She requested information on the parking stickers for residents.
Gary Carter, Director of Economic Development, addressed the Board to answer questions.
