Mayor Harris reported the following: • Read the following statement: “As mayor, it is my job to take care of everyone in our city. Therefore, I wanted to communicate some facts about Amendment 3, which will be on the ballot this November. This amendment proposes to use citizen voting age population instead of total population as the basis for redistricting. If passed, it would leave people younger than 18 out of the count used to establish districts for House and Senate seats. This would leave places with significant populations of children with reduced representation. The effect would be to leave out roughly 25% of the population in St. Louis County and about 15% of the population of Clayton specifically, under-representing important parts of our community. In addition, Amendment 3 would make Missouri the first state in the nation to exclude children and non-residents from the map-making process. In an effort to represent everyone in our community I wanted highlight this information."

• Community Equity Commission (CEC) recommendation for a revision to the City’s Mission Statement. • Municipal Parks Grant approval – Kudos to Patty DeForrest and staff.
