received majority approval was adopted and became Ordinance No. 6702 of the City of Clayton. AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO AND RESTATING THE NON- UNIFORMED EMPLOYEE’S RETIREMENT PLAN AND TRUST
City Manager Gipson reported that in late 2020, the City became aware of an issue in the Non- Uniformed Pension Plan. The Plan did not provide a spousal monthly benefit when an employee dies while still employed unless that employee had reached normal or early retirement eligibility. This situation had not occurred in staff recollection and the inclusion of this spousal benefit is common in most plans and is a benefit provided to employees in the Uniformed Pension Plan. After discussion of the issue, the Board directed staff to prepare an amendment to the plan to incorporate a change for that benefit. Staff worked with the City pension attorney, Dannae Delano with the Wagner Group, to draft this change. Staff also determined that the Plan had not undergone a full review for legal and tax changes in many years and asked Ms. Delano to review the full plan for that purpose. The result of that review is a new restatement of the Plan. Janet Watson, Director of Finance and Administration, was in attendance (virtually) to answer questions. Alderman Lintz introduced Bill No. 6843, to approve an amendment and the restatement of the Non-Uniformed Employees Retirement Fund Plan and Trust to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Berkowitz seconded.
Alise Ellebrecht, neighbor, addressed the Board stating that she contested the project two years ago commenting that the breezeway reminds her of a cheap motel and that the house is “monstrous” and not the goal for the Clavarach Park neighborhood. Mayor Harris closed the public hearing. Motion made by Alderman Lintz to approve Resolution No. 2021-09, granting a Conditional Use Permit for 12 Hillvale Drive. Alderman Berkowitz asked how many other conditional use permits are located within Clavarach Park. Susan Istenes stated that she is not aware of any and would research his question. Alderman Berkowitz seconded. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote. AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING VACATING A PORTION OF A PUBLIC ALLEY

Therefore, staff is recommending that the southern portion of the north-south alley be vacated.
