05-09-17 BOA Minutes May 9, 2016 Page 7 of 9

General Fund

Revenue – Net Increase of $62,860

 DeMun Park – This grant is being received from the Municipal Park Grants for the park design in the amount of $6,400 and will cover a majority of the design costs.  Shared Fire Training Officer – Three cities combined to hire and share the costs of a training officer. Since the employee chosen for the position was currently a Clayton employee, he will remain our employee to continue his benefits. The total salary, benefits and other miscellaneous costs will be divided based on the number of employees covered by the training program in each fire department. The amount of $56,460 represents the amount of reimbursement expected from the other cities for the remainder of FY17.

Expenditures – Net Increase of $78,616

 Interior Office Enhancements – Due to two changes in staffing at the Brentwood building, minor office enhancements were required which total $10,200.  Shared Fire Training Officer – As mentioned above, a portion of this employee’s costs will be reimbursed by the other two cities which are sharing the cost. The amount of estimated additional cost is $44,916 in salary and benefits and $15,500 in other miscellaneous support costs.  DeMun Park – The park design services are estimated to cost $8,000 which is partially offset by a planning grant.

The ordinance incorporates the recommended amendments to the FY17 budget.

Recommendation is to approve the ordinance adopting an amendment to the FY17 budget with a net effect on the City’s fund balances of a decrease of $15,756.

AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE MISSOURI HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION AGREEMENT FOR THE MARYLAND AVENUE RESURFACING PROJECT

City Manager Owens reported that in March of 2016, the City of Clayton applied for a grant from the East-West Gateway Council of Governments to resurface Maryland Avenue from Hanley Road to the west City limits (just west of Gay Ave.). The project qualified for funding through the Surface Transportation Program. Last fall the City received notification that this project has been approved for funding by East-West Gateway and recently were provided the program agreement.

The total programmed project cost is estimated to be $1,264,947.00. Seventy-five percent of the estimated project cost ($948,710.00) will be federally funded through East West Gateways Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The project design, and any easement/right-of-way acquisition will be funded by the City. This cost is estimated to be $114,295.00 for a total City contribution, with construction, of $316,237.00 (twenty-five percent of project cost). This project is budgeted over 3 years with design beginning in 2017 and construction taking place in 2019.

The programmed project will include the milling and replacement of 2 inches of asphalt, replacement of select curb & gutter where needed, and improvement of curb ramps to ADA standards.

The Missouri Department of Transportation has provided this agreement, which the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission will not approve if modified in any way.

05-09-17 BOA Minutes May 9, 2016 Page 6 of 9 Recommendation is to approve the ordinance authorizing execution of an agreement with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for the funding of the Maryland Avenue Resurfacing Project.

City Manager Owens added that consideration of bike facilities will be included in the design phase. We have not yet selected the design firm and will of course scope out the work to include adherence with the Complete Streets ordinance most particularly with bike expertise and a great deal of public engagement.

The agreement for your consideration is the standard form from MoDOT that simply says we will accept their terms in receiving grant money. This is a standard form that has been used in every grant and is required by MoDOT on all grants for all projects in the state. You will see on a future agenda an agreement for a design firm which will include the kind of scope you mention.

He also added that they anticipate design consultant selection in June and feels that July-Sept is the best time to have discussions and public engagement. MoDOT was late getting agreements out to Cities this year (approx. 3-4 months), but overall we think we are in a good position with the schedule.

Alderman Winings introduces Bill No. 6611, an ordinance to approve the MODoT agreement for the Maryland Avenue Resurfacing Project to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Boulton seconded.

City Attorney O’Keefe reads Bill No. 6611, an Ordinance Providing for the Approval and Execution of a STP-Urban Program Agreement Between the City of Clayton and the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission and Actions Related Thereto for the first time by title only.

RESOLUTIONS TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE SUBMITTAL OF A HAZARDOUS MOVING VIOLATION ENFORCEMENT GRANT APPLICATION AND A DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED ENFORCEMENT GRANT APPLICATION

City Manager Owens reported that the MODoT grant applications are approved and submitted annually.

In response to Alderman Harris’ question, Lieutenant Al Thuet stated that the grants do not address the procedures any differently than the normal procedures, but if an officer suspects the driver is driving under the influence of perhaps narcotics, than they will prepare an affidavit for a search warrant to take a person’s blood for testing.

In response to Alderman Berkowitz’ question, City Manager Owens stated that the monies provide extra resources beyond the normal staffing, mostly to cover overtime to have additional officers to cover enforcement.

In response to Alderman Winings’ question, City manager Owens confirmed that this is a recurring grant and that service levels will not increase as a result of the grants.

Alderman Winings moved to approve Resolution No. 17-10, approving the submittal of the MODoT Hazardous Moving Violation Enforcement Grant Application. Alderman Boulton seconded.
