City Manager Gipson reported that in 2016 and 2017, the City issued various series of taxable Industrial Revenue Bonds (the “Bonds”) to facilitate partial real and personal property tax abatement for Centene Corporation, Centene Center I, LLC and Centene Center II, LLC (collectively, the “Company”).

The proposed ordinance would authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the requisite documents in connection with the discharge of the Bonds and the transfer of the Project Site, the Project Improvements and the Project Equipment to the Company.

City Manager Gipson reported that this bill corrects a scrivener’s error in Ordinance 6768, adopted August 23, 2022. The intent of Ordinance No. 6768 was to remove a section of Ellenwood Avenue along the south side adjacent to property owned by the Church of St. Micheal and St. George from the 5-hour parking area thereby eliminate any daytime restrictions at that location. The site will remain in an overnight restricted area matching other blocks in the area. The change was made to accommodate the use of the property for the adjacent property owner. Ordinance No. 6768 contained errors that failed to achieve its original intent. The attached ordinance corrects those errors.
Gary Carter, Economic Development Director, was present to answer questions.

A RESOLUTION GRANTING AN EXTENSION TO A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR 801 SEMINARY PLACE, CONCORDIA SEMINARY
City Manager Gipson reported that this is a resolution to consider an extension to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) governing the construction of new residences and parking on the Concordia Seminary campus. The CUP was originally approved by the Board of Aldermen on November 12,
unless a building permit is issued within one (1) year from the date of approval by the Board of Aldermen. A written request for an extension of time must be received by the City Clerk not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the original one (1) year period. On August 20, 2025, the City of Clayton received a letter from Concordia Seminary requesting a one-year extension of the CUP approval. The letter states that the project remains the same. Staff are not aware of any change of circumstance in the area which would call into question the continued suitability of the land use, or the project as originally approved.
Mike Louis and Cole Hoffart, Concordia Seminary representatives were present to answer questions.
