City Manager Gipson reported that this is a proposed Memorandum of Understanding intended to provide the City with the funds to make improvements to the pond and surrounding site at Oak Knoll Park. This project was identified in the 2007 Parks & Recreation Master Plan as a priority but has not raised to the level of funded projects in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). This donation will enable the Parks and Recreation Department to move this project forward earlier than the current CIP will allow. The parties to the agreement include Sam and Rhoda Nussbaum (the “Nussbaums”), the Clayton Community Foundation (the “Foundation”) (CCF), and the City of Clayton (the “City”). The agreement outlines the following terms:

• The improvements may include a small pavilion, new landscaping, trail improvements, pond improvements and the installation near the pond of stone carved turtles. (A conceptual design is included with Exhibit A). • The Nussbaums will make a gift to the Foundation of $150,000 to be paid within 60 days following the execution of the MOU. • The Foundation will make gifts to the City for costs associated with the project. • In recognition of the Gift, the Foundation will request that a sign near the pond be installed to recognize that the improvements were made possible by the Gift of the Nussbaums. • The City will continue to maintain the pond improvements, signage, and enhanced landscaping for a period of no less than twenty-five (25) years.
