The Board of Aldermen has studied this proposed budget and the public has had opportunity for input. Recommendation is to conduct a public hearing and adopt the Fiscal Year 2017 Operating and Capital Improvements Budget as presented in the proposed budget, adjusted by the reconciliation attached to this ordinance. In response to Alderman Boulton’s question regarding the Emerald Ash Borer, Dale Houdeshell confirmed that they are working with other cities on this issue.

August 23, 2016 08-23-16 BOA Minutes Page 10 of 12 Alderman Berger stated that the FY 2017 contribution amount proposes $10,000 for the St. Louis Art Fair, the same amount as last year and has been the amount for a number of years previously. The Event Goals listed in the Clayton Special Events FY 2017 document distributed to the Board in April were retail and restaurant, sales, pedestrian traffic and good attendance, brand building and place making, engaged event participants, and benefits the Special Business District. The list of events being proposed to receive cash increases for FY 2017 are the Halloween City Hall, Shop Clayton, Cards home opener lunch, Clayton summer kickoff, and Craft on Tap. The Clayton Music and Wine Festival special event is budgeted at no increase, but however this one evening event receives more total expenditure than the three day Art Fair. The Board of the Art Fair has approved the initiation of two fund raising campaigns to begin after this year's Art Fair. These campaigns are being initiated because the organization is in need of a better financial base. 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.
