We started this year with a surplus of $284,702 and with the last budget amendment the surplus has increased to $341,839. The General Fund sales tax is 4% lower than at this time last year. It is still early in the fiscal year to establish a trend pattern but we will monitor this revenue to analyze continuing trends and will report this information to you, as well as any necessary budget adjustments. In the last couple of years, the sales tax revenue has been both up and down. The majority of property tax distributions have now been received and we are showing receipts as 7.5% higher than during the first six months of the last fiscal year. This is due to a CPI allowing for 2% growth, and on the calendar 2016 tax rates we chose to recoup funds lost in the prior year. We will continue to monitor this revenue very closely. Parking revenue has begun to rise with the implementation of new rates and fine amounts. The increases are partially offset with increased system costs for the much enhanced technology abilities.

AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER A CONTRACT BETWEEN ST. LOUIS COUNTY AND THE CITY OF CLAYTON FOR THE USE & MAINENANCE OF ST. LOUIS COUNTY RIGHT-OF- WAY ALONG HANLEY ROAD FOR THE PURPOSE OF INSTALLING AND MAINTAINING DOWNTOWN CLAYTON STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS AS PART OF THE SCOTT TRIANGLE PARK PROJECT

City Manager Owens reported that as part of the Scott Triangle Park project approval, the sidewalk adjacent to the development is to be improved to the Downtown Clayton Streetscape Standards.

The bill was adopted and became Ordinance No. 6481 of the City of Clayton. A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER AUTHORIZING AND SUPPORTING A TAP GRANT APPLICATION FOR THE BRENTWOOD BOULEVARD CORRIDOR BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN TRAIL ROUTES STUDY

City Manager Owens reported that subsequent to the recent discussions regarding bicycle and pedestrian access along Brentwood Boulevard, City staff met with the cities of Brentwood and Richmond Heights to discuss access along the Brentwood Boulevard Corridor. A consensus was reached to submit a joint application to East-West Gateway for a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant to fund a Brentwood Boulevard Corridor Bicycle/ Pedestrian Trail Routes Study. The study would identify potential routes and recommend a preferred alternative route which could connect the Great Rivers Greenway (GRG) Trail in Shaw Park to a point south of

06-13-17 BOA Minutes June 13, 2017 Page 5 of 7 Manchester Road where it could potentially connect with a park and potentially the Deer Creek Park Trail. Recommendation is to approve the resolution authorizing and supporting the three-city Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant application for the Brentwood Boulevard Corridor Bicycle/Pedestrian Trail Routes Study. Mayor Sanger commented that this is a great project and that it fits right in with other opportunities. Alderman Harris commented that this is a great opportunity because one of the important things about the routes is that they connect to other communities. This is a great way to figure that out to come up with a productive and useful trail system. Alderman Winings moved to approve Resolution No. 17-12, authorizing and supporting the Transportation Alternatives Program application to East-West Gateway. Alderman Boulton seconded. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote. A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER READOPTING PROCEDURE TO DISCLOSE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

City Manager Owens reported that in 1991, the Missouri General Assembly adopted the ethics/personal financial disclosure law, which affects municipalities with an annual operating budget in excess of $1 million. The ethics legislation allowed political subdivisions to establish their own method of disclosing potential conflicts of interest and substantial interests. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 105.485 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, on August 13, 1991, the City adopted by ordinance its own simplified personal financial disclosure requirements.
