Jeff Leonard, Davis Place resident, addressed the Board with his suggestion to consider extending the median portion of the project further south on Brentwood Boulevard to the 170 overpass from Shaw and Bonhomme Avenues and felt that this is a perfect opportunity during the construction process. He spoke of his concern for pedestrians who walk along Brentwood and also the added safety from the busy traffic that the new median could offer. Mayor Sanger commented that he understands his concerns, but unfortunately those additional expenses would be the City’s responsibility which would not be fiscally achievable at this time. Alderman Garnholz introduced Bill No. 6531, an ordinance to approve an agreement with MoDOT for the Brentwood Boulevard Resurfacing Project to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Winings seconded. In response to Alderman Winings’ question, City Manager Owens stated that the City will hire the engineers and during the design process they can look at different options and modifications. He stressed that the main issue is the money because once the ordinance is approved the City is accepting the grant and it will fulfill the requirements of MoDOT. If any enhancements occur it will be the City’s financial responsibility. City Attorney O’Keefe reads Bill No. 6531, an Ordinance Providing for the approval and execution of an STP-Urban Program agreement between the City of Clayton and the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission and actions related thereto for the first time by title only. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote.
Forty-five percent of the construction cost ($513,513.00) will be funded through their Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), with fifty-five percent funded by the City ($627,627.00). The project design and any easement/right-of-way acquisition would also be funded by the City; this cost is currently projected to be $78,468.00 for a total City contribution of $706,095. This project is budgeted over 3 years with design beginning in 2016 and construction taking place in 2018.

A landscaped median is also proposed between Shaw Park Drive and Bonhomme Avenue. The landscaped median and interlocking paver crosswalk, referenced above, would not be viewed as an infrastructure need/requirement for the East-West Gateway Council during their selection process. Therefore, if the construction estimate is considered without the cost of the landscaped island ($186,686) and interlocking paver crosswalk ($45,408), the Federal Match (TIP) constitutes fifty-seven percent ($513,513) of the total construction estimate ($909,056). The Missouri Department of Transportation has provided this agreement, which the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission will not approve if modified in any way. Staff recommendation is to approve the ordinance authorizing execution of an agreement with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for the funding of the Brentwood Boulevard Resurfacing Project.

AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER A RECIPROCAL FACILITY USE AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF CLAYTON AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF CLAYTON
City Manager Owens reported that The Reciprocal Facility Use Agreement before you tonight is intended to formalize the way in which the City of Clayton (the “City”) and the School District of Clayton (the “District”) share their facilities, both athletic and others, and the conditions under which they do so. Over the years various agreements have been entered into between the parties, normally in response to a specific need or circumstance (i.e. the construction of the artificial turf field at Gay Field). This has, at times, resulted in conflicting documents. In addition to this issue, there were several facilities that had traditionally been used (i.e. the tennis center) for which no written agreement existed. In those cases, it was up to staff to determine if usage would be allowed and under what conditions. While traditional usage helped make these determinations, it meant that both parties were counting on past practice and good memories to guide decision-making.
