Accordingly, pursuant to Section 105.485 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, on August 13, 1991, the City adopted by ordinance its own simplified personal financial disclosure requirements.

City Manager Gipson reported that as a condition of the zoning approval of the Forsyth Pointe project, the developer and city have been working to finalize site plans which would include improvements to the existing right of way. The Board held a discussion during the June 23rd meeting where staff presented information from the traffic study and options for the lane configuration of Forsyth Boulevard. During the discussion, the Board requested that the staff explore additional options based on the comments/questions generated during that meeting.
Matt Malick, Director of Public Works, presented the Board with a presentation (included in the meeting packet) on the proposed options and to answer questions.
Steve Lichtenfeld, Chairman of the Clayton Plan Commission, addressed the Board noting that the Plan Commission has also reviewed the development plan and he expressed his support of Option A for the lane configuration.
Questions were raised by the Board of Aldermen regarding: - proposed “bump-out” design at Forsyth and Meramec Avenues - $100,000, five-year escrow fund - “queuing” in the traffic lanes causing back-up traffic for entrance/exiting the building - development project build-outs - loss of parking along Forsyth for retailers - loss of parking for business employees - traffic issues - make the infrastructure that needs to be completed during the build - maintain vibrancy in downtown - safety and protection for the pedestrian experience - enforcement of the 2.5 hour no parking “window”
