In order to begin work on this project SWT Design has submitted the attached contract (Exhibit A). Selected due to their earlier work on the Shaw Park Master Plan Overlay, they will oversee this project from conception to the completion of construction. Initially work will include three public meetings to engage the community in a dialogue about the project. Additional opportunity for public input will take place throughout the design development phase and will include presentations to the Parks and Recreation Commission as well as the Board of Aldermen.

It is anticipated that this project will take between eighteen and twenty-four months to complete. In addition to SWT Design we will be hiring a construction manager to assist with the project. A steering committee will be established to help guide the project through the design phase. This committee will be made up of members of the Parks & Recreation Commission, a representative from CCF, a representative from BWG, and staff. Members of the Board of Aldermen are welcome to attend any and all meetings of the committee. A published schedule will be made available of all public meetings to be held concerning this project. All costs associated with this contract will be paid for by CCF. Recommendation is to approve the ordinance authorizing the execution of a contract with SWT Design, Inc. in the amount of Three Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand Dollars ($377,000) plus reimbursable expenses up to Seven Thousand and Fifty Dollars ($7,050.00). In response to Alderman Garnholz’s question, Patty DeForrest clarified that the Shaw Park sign will remain and that there will be signage located at the Chapman Plaza. She noted that the signage has not been designed. Gary Feder, Clayton Century Foundation, commented that the primary intent is that just the selected portion (at the corner) of Shaw Park will be known as Chapman Plaza. Alderman Garnholz introduced Bill No. 6494, an ordinance to consider approving a contract with SWT Design, Inc. to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Winings seconded.

Alderman Garnholz – Aye; Alderman Winings – Aye; Alderman Berger – Aye; Alderman Berkowitz – Aye; and Mayor Sanger – Aye. The bill was adopted and became Ordinance No. 6368 of the City of Clayton. A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE NAMING OF PRIORITY PROJECT IN THE SHAW PARK MASTER PLAN OVERLAY KNOWN AS SHAW PARK NORTH

City Manager Owens reported that the Clayton Century Foundation (CCF) submitted an application to the City Clerk (Exhibit A) requesting that, per the recently approved Pledge Agreement for Shaw Park North, the city consider naming the project “Chapman Plaza”. The pledge agreement references that this recognition will be done through signage that is acceptable to the City, the CCF and the donor.

Per the Board’s adopted policy on donations and naming rights, this request was forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Commission for review. The Commission considered this request at their May 4, 2015, meeting and voted unanimously in support of the application. This request for naming falls under Section 6B of the City of Clayton Donations, Sponsorships and Facility Naming which reads “Naming of a facility for a specific individual or corporation will only be considered if that individual or corporation has made a significant contribution to the City of Clayton. Such contribution may be in the form of outstanding civic service over a prolonged period of time or donation of substantial property or funds for the acquisition/development of the facility.” In this case, Mr. Chapman and his family as well as Barry-Wehmiller, Inc. will be donating $7 million for the design, construction and ongoing maintenance of this project. According to the City’s Facility Naming Policy the next step is for the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to formally consider this request and take action if so determined. Recommendation is to approve the resolution authorizing the naming of Shaw Park North, a priority project in the Shaw Park Master Plan Overlay, to be designated “Chapman Plaza”. Alderman Garnholz moved to approve Resolution No. 15-05, a request to name Shaw Park North as Chapman Plaza. Alderman Winings seconded. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote.
