We would not be here were it not for the sacrifices that generation made.

A PUBLIC HEARING – AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER ADOPTING THE MODIFICATION OF APPENDIX M OF THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE (FIRST READING )
Mayor Sanger opened the public hearing.
City Manager Owens reported that a public hearing is not required to adopt this modification, the City would prefer to conduct the meeting in the same format used for a public hearing for the purposes of allowing the City to accept public comment and testimony on this matter.
The Board of Aldermen adopted the 2015 International Fire Code on October 13, 2015, with an effective date of January 1, 2016. The most significant change in the new code provides for a greater level of safety for existing high-rise structures.
Section M103.1 requires all existing high-rise buildings complete an automatic sprinkler retrofit within 12 years. Staff is recommending a modification to address high-rise buildings containing residential R-2 dwelling units which are platted and constructed as a condominium pursuant to chapter 448 RSMo. The modification includes the addition of section M 102.1.1 which lists seven conditions of compliance and M103.2 listing a compliance schedule which is unique to this classification only.
City Manager Owens commented that staff has worked with a group of residents to develop these new standards which we think will make things in these buildings much safer, affordable, and workable for the residents that are in them.
Staff recommendation is to approve the ordinance for the first reading only.

07-11-17 BOA Minutes July 11, 2017 Page 4 of 10 Mayor Sanger commented that he would hope it is not to be said that Clayton legislators are not reactive to something that is brought to their attention by the public that makes sense and is a benefit for everyone in the community. This is a great example of how the City works.
Alderman Harris added that she would like to compliment everyone, the staff and the citizens for getting their act together and getting organized about what they wanted. She again complimented the staff for the many meetings and long discussion adding that this is a great example of team work and local government.
Dr. Dan Phillips, resident, 200 S. Brentwood Boulevard, addressed the Board thanking them and the City staff. He is here tonight speaking as President of the PT Homeowners Association in support of the proposed ordinance. This is a strong proposal that will significantly enhance the safety of the relevant high rise condominium buildings and help protect, not only our residents, but the fireman who risk their lives in the advent of fire. I will not enumerate the specific features of the proposal, but let me say we all respect Fire Marshall Paul Mercurio tenacious dedication to the safety of Clayton's citizens and it gives me great comfort that Paul supports this proposal. And of paramount importance, this proposal will allow the fire safety enhancements to get implemented in less than half the time then what was originally anticipated. This ordinance also provides options to the affected buildings. An individual building can choose to follow the terms of the new ordinance or they may elect to follow the 2015 International codes with a12 year allotment to implement all of its provisions.
Mayor Sanger closed the public hearing.
Alderman Winings introduced Bill No. 6619, an ordinance to consider approving a modification of Appendix M of the 2015 International Fire Code to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Boulton seconded.
City Attorney O’Keefe reads Bill No. 6619, an Ordinance Amending Section 205.080 of the Clayton City Code Amending the Fire Protection and Prevention E Code of the City of Clayton, Missouri, Regarding Sprinklers in High-Rise Residential Buildings for the first time by title only.
The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote.
A MOTION TO CONSIDER APPROVING A LIQUOR LICENSE FOR EDLL, LLC D.B.A. PELICAN BAR LOCATED AT 30 N. CENTRAL AVENUE
City Manager Owens reported that EDLL, LLC d.b.a. Pelican Bar is requesting a liquor license to sell all kinds of intoxicating liquor at retail by the drink, including Sundays, at 30 N. Central Avenue.
The Police Department has completed its review of the application and supports the issuance of the requested license. The Planning and Development department has also approved the application with no objections.
The applicant has chosen not to submit a petition from surrounding property owners and first floor tenants. As a result, they are aware that this application must have a super majority vote of five Board of Aldermen members in order to be approved. Staff has requested that a representative be in attendance at the meeting.
Staff recommends passing a motion to approve the liquor license to sell all kinds of intoxicating liquor at retail by the drink, including Sundays.
