4TUAN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO CERTAIN PARKING RESTRICTIONS AND ENACTING NEW PARKING RESTRICTIONS
City Manager Gipson reported that the proposed ordinance will amend Title III Traffic Code by repealing and replacing Schedule III Parking Restrictions. The purpose of the change is to add a section of Ellenwood Avenue to Table III-A No Parking Areas and deleting the same section from Table III-J Five-Hour Parking Areas. Specifically, the section of Ellenwood Avenue direct in front of The Church of St. Michael & St. George would no longer be restricted to five-hour parking. An overnight, 12:00 AM to 7:00 AM, would be implemented to match the current south side of the Church property on Wydown Boulevard. Gary Carter, Director of Economic Development was present to answer questions. The Board raised concerns regarding if the surrounding property owners and/or neighborhood trustees were notified of the changes. Alderman Lintz introduced Bill No. 6906, approving an amendment to Table III-A and Table III-J of the Parking Regulations in Schedule III Parking Restrictions to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Berkowitz seconded. City Attorney O’Keefe reads Bill No. 6906, first reading, an Ordinance Amending Table III- A and Table III-J of the Parking Regulations in Schedule III Parking Restrictions of the Clayton City Code by title only.
To date, the CCF has raised more than $73,000 towards the development of the park on Maryland Avenue and recently received a pledge for an additional $50,000 toward the project. The City was also awarded a St. Louis County Municipal Park Grant in the amount of $225,000 in 2021 for construction of this park. A Request for Bids for construction of the park was issued in March 2022. Based on the construction climate at that time, minor changes were made to the scope of the project in an attempt to bring the bids in at budget; these changes included removal of the water feature and scaling back a portion of the retaining wall and concrete hardscape. Unfortunately, the bids still came in over budget, with the lowest bid at $454,889.

To move this project forward, City staff recommends applying for additional Municipal Park Grant funding of up to $325,000. If approved, this would bring the total Municipal Park Grant funds awarded for this project to $525,000, which is the maximum for which the City of Clayton would be eligible. Current cost estimates for the project put the development of the park at just under $590,000. If this application is successful, the grant along with funds raised by CCF will provide the resources necessary to develop the site into a new public park as originally designed (including the water feature). The City should receive notification before the end of the year with the intent to begin the work in early 2023. Toni Siering, Director of Parks and Recreation was present to answer questions. Alderman Lintz moved to approve Resolution No. 2022-18 authorizing the submittal of a municipal parks grant application for the construction of a pocket park at 7811 Maryland Avenue. Alderman Berkowitz seconded. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote.
