Alderman Boulton stated that the resolution still includes the City of Glendale and does not include Richmond Heights. Alderman Garnholz clarified the five cities as stated in Section 1 of the resolution.

Alderman Winings seconded. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote. AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING A FIRE HYDRANT RELOCATION ON CARONDELET PLAZA

City Manager Owens reported that as part of infrastructure changes in the area of Carondelet Plaza a new fire hydrant on the north side of Carondelet Plaza, at the intersection of the alley at 187 Carondelet Plaza will be needed. The fire hydrant located in the current City owned parking area east of the alley and north of Carondelet Plaza is to be removed. 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.

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.

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. Through our evaluation we have concluded that a system which already integrates all of these components allows for the most efficient parking system both from an operation and enforcement standpoint and, most importantly, will provide the residents and visitors with the best parking user interface.
