In response to Mayor Sanger’s question regarding the automobile sales tax, Ms. Watson stated that the State provided numbers to all cities which was done in a formulaic manner and may not reflect exactly for the City. At the time it was determined to be about $120,000 and does not include vehicles purchased outside of the State. City Manager Owens added that this will not “kick-in” until 2017. City Attorney O’Keefe also added that the legislation is looking into it again. ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING A MODIFICATION TO THE MUNICIPAL TRAFFIC CODE RELATED TO ON-STREET PARKING ON ABERDEEN PLACE

City Manager Owens reported that the City was requested to survey the residents along Aberdeen Place to determine if they desired tighter restrictions over non-residents parking in their neighborhood. The initial survey results from the residents along Aberdeen Place between Dartford Avenue and University Lane for a trial permit parking regulation was ten “In Favor” with two having “No Opinion”. Therefore, the Public Works Department began a trial permit parking regulation in April, 2013. Since that time, on-street parking has been restricted to: one-hour residential parking between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, between University Lane and the property lines of 97 and 94 Aberdeen Place. The trial period has ended, and the residents were resurveyed during February, 2015. The results of the second survey are 14 “In Favor” of keeping the restrictions, 1 “Opposed”, and two with “No Opinion”.

The trial period has ended, and the residents were resurveyed during February, 2015. The results of the second survey are 14 “In Favor” of keeping the restrictions, 1 “Opposed”, and two with “No Opinion”. Passage of this ordinance is necessary to codify the existing on-street parking restrictions posted on the east end of Aberdeen Place. Recommendation is to approve the ordinance codifying the existing on-street parking restrictions posted on the east end of Aberdeen Place. In response to Alderman Boulton’s question, Dale Houdeshell stated that the change will match up to the other side of Aberdeen. In response to Alderman Lintz’s question, Dale Houdeshell stated that this is only happening on Aberdeen. Alderman Harris introduced Bill No. 6484, an ordinance to consider approval of a modification for the Aberdeen Place residential parking, to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Garnholz seconded.

The bill was adopted and became Ordinance No. 6358 of the City of Clayton.
