If funding is received it is our intent to do the work in late Summer/early Fall of 2017. The fields will then rest over the winter and will be ready for use in the Spring of 2018. Included in the FY17 Capital budget is $80,000 of City Funding for the completion of this project. The City is eligible for up to $420,000 of grant funding this year and the total cost of this project is estimated to be $500,000. It is our intent to apply for a grant for $420,000 to fund the project with the matching portion of $80,000 paid for from the City’s Capital Fund. Recommendation is to approve the resolution authorizing submittal of the grant application for Improvements to Fields 5 and 6 in Shaw Park. In response to Mayor Sanger’s question, City Manager Owens stated that the grant funding is part of the trails sales tax. In response to Alderman Boulton’s question, City Manager Owens stated that part of that trails sales tax was to fund the Great Rivers Greenway project and all of its trails and another part of it went into a fund that would be split

If the grant money is not received than it would be part of the City’s Capital Improvements planning process and it would have to be funded through local funds.

City Manager Owens reported that The St Louis Regional All-Hazard Mitigation Plan was first completed in 2004, revised in 2009 and is required to be updated every five years. The East-West Gateway Coordinating Council has worked, in collaboration with counties, local jurisdictions and school districts, to complete an All- Hazard Mitigation Plan Update for the metropolitan St. Louis area. The plan is a general plan that identifies recommended mitigation strategies that will reduce or eliminate the impacts caused by natural disasters such as tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, severe winter weather, heat and wildfires.

Alderman Garnholz moved to approve Resolution No. 16-16, to adopt the St. Louis Regional All-Hazard Mitigation Plan 2015-2020 (Updated 2015). Alderman Winings seconded.

TO CONSIDER A JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE MISSOURI CITIES OF BRENTWOOD, CLAYTON, MAPLEWOOD, RICHMOND HEIGHTS AND ROCK HILL AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER/CITY ADMINISTRATOR AND FIRE CHIEF FROM EACH CITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A JOINT FIRE COMMAND STAFF STRUCTURE FOR THE PARTICIPATING CITIES

07-26-16 BOA Minutes July 26, 2016 Page 3 of 7 City Manager Owens reported that the neighboring cities of Brentwood, Maplewood, Richmond Heights and Rock Hill will be considering a joint agreement to develop a joint fire command staff structure. This came from a 2014 study that the City participated in and did not include Richmond Heights and also included Glendale. Richmond Heights expressed an interest to be included in the study and Glendale expressed an interest to not be included and therefore requested that the data is updated and included in the study. This concept would be to investigate the possibility of having a joint command of resources, battalion chiefs, assistant chiefs, and chiefs of those departments to come together as a single leadership unit that would help guide and give leadership to all five of the departments. The consultant, ESCI, found significant opportunity to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative, training, oversight and command functions of fire and emergency medical services through a joint command structure. Moreover, the study concluded that it is feasible to combine administrative and support functions and suggests establishing a joint fire command staff structure for the five cities. Recommendation is to approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager and Fire Chief to engage in discussions with representatives of Brentwood, Maplewood, Richmond Heights and Rock Hill relating to the establishment of a joint fire command. Alderman Boulton stated that the resolution still includes the City of Glendale and does not include Richmond Heights.
