bill, having received majority approval, was adopted, and became Ordinance No. 6936 of the City of Clayton. AN ORDINANCE FOR FINAL PAYMENT TO BYRNE AND JONES CONSTRUCTION FOR CONSTRUCTION AT REMEMBRANCE PARK

City Manager Gipson reported that in 2018, the City of Clayton acquired land at 7811 Maryland Avenue with the intent to create an urban park in Downtown Clayton, now known as Remembrance Park. Over the past six years, the project has been slow to progress, first due to the additional funding needed for the construction of the park, then due to multiple utility issues on site. Remembrance Park finally opened to the public on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. As the project neared completion, Byrne and Jones submitted the final pay application, bringing the total of the project to $595,460. In reviewing this invoice, it has been determined that the final amount due is over the approved budget by $3,710 due to an error in tracking the change orders within the approved contingency amount. Toni Siering, Director of Parks and Recreation, addressed the Board to answer questions. Alderman Buse introduced Bill No. 7076, approving final payment to Byrne and Jones Construction for the Remembrance Park project to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Patel seconded. City Attorney Jones reads Bill No. 7076, first reading, an Ordinance Approving Final Payment to Byrne and Jones Construction for Construction at Remembrance Park by title only. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote.

justice and a demonstrated interest in equity issues such as public interest law, administration of justice, pro -bono, non- profit, or similar experience. (Lawyers preferred but not required). None of the panel members shall have, in the judgment of the Board of Aldermen and Mayor, either bias or a direct or indirect conflict of interest in serving on the interview panel. Recruitment for applications to serve on the Municipal Judge interview panel was advertised on the City’s website and in Clayton Connections on May 30, 2025, with a deadline of June 13, 2025, to apply. The city received three applications to which copies were sent to the Board of Aldermen for review. It is noted that Mayor McAndrew abstained from the review and voting of the applicants and recused herself from tonight’s discussion and vote. Alderman Yorg raised questions concerning a probable conflict of interest for two of the applicants; one a prior member of the previous interview panel which previously interviewed one of the applicants; and the other is a relative of an elected official. City Attorney Jones noted that in review of the constitutional prohibition on nepotism the distinguishing factor is whether the elected official votes and since Mayor McAndrew has recused herself from the selection process and will not vote on the appointment(s) it would not be a conflict of interest.
