Recommendation is to approve the ordinance codifying the revised on-street parking restrictions on the east side of Westwood Drive. City Manager Owens explained that there was an area on Westwood Drive identified by Alderman Berkowitz where there had been no parking near the pizza business location (near Wydown). Staff evaluated the area and determined that there was room to add spaces. Alderman Garnholz introduced Bill No. 6528, an Ordinance Amending the Traffic Code of the City of Clayton, Missouri, to allow more parking on Westwood Drive to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Winings seconded. City Attorney O’Keefe reads Bill No. 6528, An Ordinance Amending the Traffic Code of the City of Clayton, Missouri, to allow more parking on Westwood Drive for the first time by title only.

City Manager Owens reported that during recent discussions regarding restricting parking in a portion of the Moorlands, it was suggested that a portion of the No Parking on the east side of Westwood Drive, south of Wydown, could be relaxed to allow some parking just north of Byron Avenue. After review, the Public Works Department concurs that a portion of the No Parking on the east side of Westwood Drive just north of Byron Avenue could be relaxed to allow some additional parking. The Public Works Department is recommending the Board of Aldermen adopt revised parking restrictions on the east side of Westwood Drive to allow additional parking in the half block north of Byron. Should the Board of Alderman desire to proceed with the proposed revised restrictions, an ordinance has been prepared to do so. Passage of this ordinance would be necessary to codify the proposed revised on-street parking restrictions on the east side of Westwood Drive.

Alderman Winings seconded. City Attorney O’Keefe reads Bill No. 6528, An Ordinance Amending the Traffic Code of the City of Clayton, Missouri, to allow more parking on Westwood Drive for the second time by title only. Alderman Garnholz – Aye; Alderman Winings – Aye; Alderman Boulton – Aye; Alderman Berger – Aye; Alderman Lintz – Aye; Alderman Berkowitz – Aye; and Mayor Sanger – Aye. The bill was adopted and became Ordinance No. 6399 of the City of Clayton. A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH RUBINBROWN LLP FOR AUDIT SERVICES FOR THE CITY AND THE CRSWC

City Manager Owens reported that the City recently issued a request for proposals for audit services for the annual audit of the City and CRSWC for fiscal years 2015 through 2019. We believe awarding this contract for the two entities together is more efficient and saves cost. The last contract was for five (5) years with Hochschild, Bloom & Co. LLP, and the City believes it is a best practice to change audit firms on a periodic basis. A list of the most recent firms used is presented at the end of this document. The City received responses from six firms with all firms meeting the basic criteria established in the RFP. A committee was formed to review the proposals comprised of Alderman Richard Lintz, Toni Siering (CRSWC), Betty Luebke and Janet Watson. After an initial review by staff, two firms were eliminated due to insufficient staffing or insufficient governmental experience.

A committee was formed to review the proposals comprised of Alderman Richard Lintz, Toni Siering (CRSWC), Betty Luebke and Janet Watson. After an initial review by staff, two firms were eliminated due to insufficient staffing or insufficient governmental experience. The committee then reviewed the four (4) remaining proposals to determine which firms to interview based on the proposals that best met the selection criteria outlined in the RFP. Those criteria were:

 Qualifications and experience of the firm;  Qualifications of the key individuals to be assigned to the City’s engagement;  Understanding of the scope of services and the ability to complete the audit in a timely manner;  References; and,
