AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT OF CLAYTON FOR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS

City Manager Owens reported that this is an ordinance to approve the renewal agreement with the School District of Clayton for school resource officers. The last agreement renewal was approved in 2012 and is now due to expire at the end of August. The proposed terms for renewal will continue the 75%/25% School District/City cost sharing arrangement. City Manager Owens noted that the agreement will include a provision to share the cost of cell phone, travel and training expenses which have been practiced in the past and continues currently. He recommended that the Board approve as amended and authorizing the City Manager to sign the agreement. In response to Alderman Winings’ question, Chief Murphy confirmed that the resource officers split their time in all of the schools (not just the high school) with programs such as D.A.R.E. Alderman Winings introduced Bill No. 6513, an ordinance to approve a renewal agreement with the Clayton School District for the School Resource Officers to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Boulton seconded.

The Board extensively reviewed the proposed budget during public meetings on July 17 and August 12, 2015. There are only a few changes to the proposed budget and they are summarized in the reconciliation provided in the Board packet. All of the changes are related to capital projects, including adding the completion of the environmental recycling alternative project in FY15, correcting a source of grant match funds in FY15, and moving street projects from one fiscal year to another and adjusting the transfer of bond funds for construction accordingly. There are no proposed changes to the general fund budget. The proposed budget maintains the extraordinary level and proficiency of service that has been expected by our residents and traditionally provided by the City. The Board of Aldermen has studied this proposed budget and the public has had opportunities for input. The attached ordinance approving the Fiscal Year 2016 Operating and Capital Improvements Budget is presented for approval and adoption. Recommendation is to conduct a public hearing and adopt the Fiscal Year 2016 Operating and Capital Improvements Budget as presented in the proposed budget, adjusted by the reconciliation attached to the ordinance.

City Manager Owens reported that the proposed ordinance would approve an easement to be granted to the Metropolitan Sewer District (“MSD”) for the purpose of allowing MSD to build and maintain an underground detention system, including sewer, stormwater, and other related appurtenances and improvements, within Oak Knoll Park. The goal of the project is to improve the stormwater and sewer system serving the St. Louis region in order to satisfy the requirements of a settlement between MSD and the Environmental Protection Agency and the Missouri Coalition for the Environmental Foundation which was entered into in 2011. Improvements will particularly benefit the Clayton residents in the vicinity. MSD anticipates that the project will be put out to bid this year with construction starting in early 2016. Work at Oak Knoll Park will be completed in the spring of 2016.
