The Clayton Equity Commission convened on September 12, 2025, to discuss various topics pertinent to the community and its governance. The meeting began with a reminder for residents and taxpayers to engage with their school board members, emphasizing the importance of public participation in local governance. Members were encouraged to attend school board meetings and provide public comments, highlighting the impact such interactions can have on decision-making.

A notable absence was acknowledged as a representative from the youth advisory board could not attend due to scheduling conflicts. This was seen as unfortunate, as the commission values input from younger community members.

The meeting also included an announcement regarding staffing changes within the city administration. Andrea Muscov, the former assistant city manager, has taken a position as city administrator in Frontback. In her place, Myron Burr Jr. has been hired as the new assistant city manager. Burr comes from the Chancellor's Office at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, where he previously managed the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) office. His background in strategic planning and policy, along with his educational qualifications, were noted as significant assets for the commission and the city.

Burr is set to start on September 29, 2025, and will serve as the primary liaison for the Clayton Equity Commission. The commission expressed enthusiasm about his upcoming introduction at the next meeting scheduled for October 9, 2025.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting a collaborative atmosphere and a commitment to ongoing community engagement.
