In 2015, Clayton's cash contribution and in kind payments for staff time accounted for less than 8% of the Art Fair's operating budget. We all are very thrilled to have this nationally recognized special event in our downtown. The specific benefit created by an increase in the City's cash contribution will enable the Art Fair to successfully initiate their fund raising campaign which will enable the organization to continue to operate this top electric visual arts event in our City. Alderman Berger moved to amend the FY2017 Operating Budget to increase the Special Events budget by $5,000 to award the St. Louis Art Fair special event with a cash contribution of $15,000. In response to Mayor Sanger’s question, Janet Watson confirmed that the recoupment of the property tax is expected in 2017. Alderman Boulton seconded the motion to amend. The motion to amend passed on a 6 –Aye to 1 – Nay (Alderman Lintz) vote.

The CCF is currently seeking nominations for their Board and welcomes any suggestions from the Board of Aldermen. He will provide the Board with copies of the CCF nomination form. Alderman Boulton reported on the following:  Senior Survey - Although meetings/discussions have been delayed until after the elections due to space availability their (2) focus groups (approximately 25 people) have been moving forward. Great job working with Robyn Frankel.

 Plan Commission/ARB – the August 1 meeting held at the Clayton High School auditorium was very well attended (approximately 342 people). Suggestion to have hard copies of the PowerPoint presentation available for the members due to the difficulty of seeing the projection screen.
