The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote. CLAYTON COMMUNITY EQUITY COMMISSION EX-OFFICIO MEMBERS

City Manager Gipson reported that the Clayton Community Equity Commission (CEC) currently has five (5) Ex-Officio members, including representatives from Washington University- St. Louis, St. Louis County, the School District of Clayton, Clayton Chamber of Commerce and the religious community. Sean Doherty, Superintendent of the School District of Clayton, is retiring at the end of June and the District has recommended that the Board of Aldermen appoint Cameron Poole, the District’s Director of Equity and Inclusion, to the CEC as an Ex-Officio member. Ellen Gale, Executive Director of the Clayton Chamber of Commerce, has standing meetings that conflict with the CEC regular meeting date and time. The Clayton Chamber of Commerce would like to continue its participation and is recommending that a member of their Board of Directors serve on the CEC in her place as an Ex-Officio member. Staff recommends that the Board of Aldermen appoint Cameron Poole to represent the School District of Clayton and a member of the Clayton Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors to represent their organization on the Community Equity Commission. Alderman Buse commented that it is valuable to have liaisons on the commissions and suggested that other committees may look at this because it brings in voices and a way to reach a broader community.
