The removal will be coordinated with the Clayton Fire Department in conjunction with the installation of a new hydrant listed above. The hydrant shall not be removed until the Fire Department approves the commissioning of the new hydrant listed above. Recommendation is to approve the ordinance authorizing the installation of the fire hydrant for the North side of Carondelet Plaza at the intersection of the alley at 187 Carondelet Plaza. Alderman Boulton commented that it is odd that the City has to approve a fire hydrant removal. Mayor Sanger stated that the Board also has to approve stop signs. Alderman Garnholz introduced Bill No. 6565, an ordinance providing for the approval of the installation of a new fire hydrant on Carondelet Plaza in the City of Clayton to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Winings seconded. City Attorney O’Keefe reads Bill No. 6565, an Ordinance Providing for the Approval of the Installation of a New Fire Hydrant on Carondelet Plaza in the City of Clayton for the first time by title only.

07-26-16 BOA Minutes July 26, 2016 Page 3 of 7 City Manager Owens reported that the neighboring cities of Brentwood, Maplewood, Richmond Heights and Rock Hill will be considering a joint agreement to develop a joint fire command staff structure. This came from a 2014 study that the City participated in and did not include Richmond Heights and also included Glendale. Richmond Heights expressed an interest to be included in the study and Glendale expressed an interest to not be included and therefore requested that the data is updated and included in the study. This concept would be to investigate the possibility of having a joint command of resources, battalion chiefs, assistant chiefs, and chiefs of those departments to come together as a single leadership unit that would help guide and give leadership to all five of the departments. The consultant, ESCI, found significant opportunity to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative, training, oversight and command functions of fire and emergency medical services through a joint command structure. Moreover, the study concluded that it is feasible to combine administrative and support functions and suggests establishing a joint fire command staff structure for the five cities. Recommendation is to approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager and Fire Chief to engage in discussions with representatives of Brentwood, Maplewood, Richmond Heights and Rock Hill relating to the establishment of a joint fire command. Alderman Boulton stated that the resolution still includes the City of Glendale and does not include Richmond Heights.

AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING A CONTRACT FOR PARKING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE WITH PASSPORTPARKING INC. City Manager Owens reported that staff is requesting approval of a contract for implementation of a parking management software solution. The package includes a mobile app, enforcement and payment software, a module for parking permits, and full integration with our current parking kiosks (Parkeons). The mobile app is to be used by residents and visitors parking in Clayton and allows them to use their smartphone to pay for and extend parking sessions and to pay parking violations.

The package includes a mobile app, enforcement and payment software, a module for parking permits, and full integration with our current parking kiosks (Parkeons). The mobile app is to be used by residents and visitors parking in Clayton and allows them to use their smartphone to pay for and extend parking sessions and to pay parking violations. In addition, Clayton merchants may participate in the app to validate customer parking. The enforcement and payment software is a necessary upgrade in order to be able to implement the app and still maintain efficient enforcement. The permit module will also allow residential zone parking permits to be issued virtually and by license plate and will allow the City to track the permits issued. Beginning in the fall of 2015 staff has been evaluating various apps and associated necessary software upgrades to enhance the parking experience in the City. Most mobile apps, enforcement and payment software, permit modules, and parking kiosks are completely separate components not provided by a single firm, and are frequently incompatible or have compatibility challenges. Such compatibility and integration challenges constituted most of the delay in our implementation of the app as originally planned. Staff has received proposals from several software providers and app companies, although most would require purchasing different components from various vendors to integrate together to try to meet our needs.
