Mayor Sanger pointed out on the report (page 12) it shows a $90,000 surplus and without the safe demonstration we would have been well over a $500,000 surplus. The anticipation as the year goes on is that expenses will continue versus the revenue. He recommends that the Board have a discussion about the issue later and commented that he would like to end the year with a balanced budget. Alderman Boulton commented that the Board could consider using the reserves that the City has due to the special circumstances. Alderman Winings’ noted that he views $618, 754, an increase of $30,000 from the previous year, as a good measure which shows how much life and activity is going on in Clayton, which is one of the City’s goals. He asked if this is measured in actual “point of sales” or measured as a shared amount for Clayton. Ms. Watson explained that one sales tax is a “point of sale”, but the other sales tax reflects the activity and what is shared throughout St. Louis County, noting that there is about a two month delay in posting as a payment to the City with the first payment received in December. In response to Mayor Sanger’s question regarding the automobile sales tax, Ms. Watson stated that the State provided numbers to all cities which was done in a formulaic manner and may not reflect exactly for the City.

In response to Mayor Sanger’s question regarding the automobile sales tax, Ms. Watson stated that the State provided numbers to all cities which was done in a formulaic manner and may not reflect exactly for the City. At the time it was determined to be about $120,000 and does not include vehicles purchased outside of the State. City Manager Owens added that this will not “kick-in” until 2017. City Attorney O’Keefe also added that the legislation is looking into it again. ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING A MODIFICATION TO THE MUNICIPAL TRAFFIC CODE RELATED TO ON-STREET PARKING ON ABERDEEN PLACE

City Manager Owens reported that the City was requested to survey the residents along Aberdeen Place to determine if they desired tighter restrictions over non-residents parking in their neighborhood. The initial survey results from the residents along Aberdeen Place between Dartford Avenue and University Lane for a trial permit parking regulation was ten “In Favor” with two having “No Opinion”. Therefore, the Public Works Department began a trial permit parking regulation in April, 2013. Since that time, on-street parking has been restricted to: one-hour residential parking between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, between University Lane and the property lines of 97 and 94 Aberdeen Place. The trial period has ended, and the residents were resurveyed during February, 2015. The results of the second survey are 14 “In Favor” of keeping the restrictions, 1 “Opposed”, and two with “No Opinion”.
