A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE SUBMITAL OF A MUNICIPAL PARKS GRANT APPLICATION FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS AT TAYLOR PARK
City Manager Owens reported that a system-wide recommendation of the 2007 Parks & Recreation Master Plan is the upgrade of existing playgrounds throughout the city’s park system as well as neighborhood park improvements. This year we have put together a plan for improvements to Taylor Park that include not only replacement of the 20 year old playground but also enhancements to this popular neighborhood park. To create this plan we created a focus group made up of residents of Old Towne, a member of the Parks & Recreation Commission, a member of the Board of Aldermen and staff who met over the past six months to provide input on the playground design as well as the overall park improvements. A survey of residents was conducted to also gain additional input.
As a result of these meetings a plan was developed that included the following improvements that are detailed in Attachment A: ADA improvements to North Central Entrance Upgrades to Lighting to include underground location of wires and new LED lights Installation of a connecting walk from Bemiston to the trail on the west side of the park New site furnishings and reorientation of picnic pads Improved Landscape Plantings New sod and irrigation system Replacement of New Playground
Included in the FY16 Capital budget is $20,000 of City Funding for the completion of this project. The City is eligible for up to $420,000 of grant funding this year and the total cost of this project is estimated to be $420,636.00. It is our intent to apply for a grant for $400,636 to fund the project with the matching portion of $20,000 paid for from the City’s Capital Fund. The Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously voted in favor of this grant application at their October 5, 2015 meeting. Recommendation is to approve the resolution authorizing submittal of the grant application for Park Improvements at Taylor Park.
Alderman Garnholz moved to approve Resolution No. 15-16, to approve the submittal of the St. Louis Municipal Parks Grant application for Taylor Park. Alderman Winings seconded.
At these meetings, the Fire Department staff and Building staff gave a brief presentation regarding the proposed changes and answered any questions/concerns from the public. No additional changes have been made to the ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER ADOPTING THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL SWIMMING POOL AND SPA CODE (ISPSC) WITH AMENDMENTS (FIRST READING)
City Manager Owens reported that this is an ordinance to adopt the 2015 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (“ISPSC”) with amendments.
The first edition of the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code was published in 2012 as a result of the collaborative effort among many industry experts, including the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP).
The goal in creating the ISPSC was to produce a comprehensive code which met the requirements of the Virginia Graeme Baker Act and incorporated the relevant requirements found in the International Residential Code, International Building Code, International Plumbing Code and the International Mechanical Code, along with the APSP standards.
When the City of Clayton adopted the current codes in effect, the ISPSC had yet to be created. Therefore, the 2015 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code would be the first standalone swimming pool and spa code adopted by the City of Clayton.
The adoption of the ISPSC is needed because as a result of the creation of the ISPSC, all code sections pertaining to the installation of swimming pools were removed from the 2015 International Residential Code and 2015 International Building Code. Adopting the 2015 ISPSC allows the City of Clayton to continue to have up to date design and installation safety standards for both private and public swimming pools. The adoption of the ISPSC will also allow for a more streamlined standard for the design, installation and inspection of swimming pools for both end user and staff.
The following are a few the benefits of the ISPSC, as provided by the ICC:
The only comprehensive model swimming pool and spa code available. Meets or exceeds Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act compliance. Utilizes time-proven APSP ANSI standards by reference and integration. Contains barrier, decking, lighting, circulation system, pump, accessibility, diving, sanitizing equipment, filter and suction fitting provisions
In addition to the actual Codes, contained in the ordinance are minor amendments that are designed to take into consideration circumstances and standards which are particular to Clayton. These amendments, therefore, allow for meeting Clayton’s individual needs while assuring that the City is utilizing a nationally recognized standard for Code implementation and enforcement.
The subject codes and amendments are required to be available for public review and comment for 90 days prior to their adoption. The codes have been available in the City Clerk’s office since August 27, 2015.
