Unfinished Business:
Lot Contracts
Montana Building
We are in the process of renewing our contract with the Montana Building. Rex Boller has been hired to
manage the building. Charlie (City Attorney) is currently working on a new contract and Jack will be
monitoring the lot when the contract is complete.
New Meter Machine in Eagles Lot
The purchase of the new ticket machine was approved at the last meeting. However, since the new part
was installed it has been working fine. It was decided that we continue to use the current machine as
long as possible since it appears to be working well with the new part.
Lot Maintenance
Ron updated The Board on the current lot maintenance schedule. At this time all ten lots are sprayed
and garbage is picked up on a weekly basis. Ron spoke with Mike Baker regarding the shrubs in the
various lots. The only lot that we potentially have water to is the Keno Lot.
Ron spoke with Mike Baker regarding the dead Mountain Ash on the corner across from the VFW and
Athletic Club. Mike stated that they would not get around to removing it for a long time and said if Ron
would like to remove it on a Sunday afternoon he could.
Ron would like to straighten the concrete re -bars and replace the broken ones in the Valley Bank Lot
before the snow falls. He will check the city shop to see if they have any available to help in
replacing/repairing them.
Joel expressed concern regarding the standing water in front of his salon since the Valley Bank Parking
Lot repairs were done. He stated that is will be a safety concern once it starts to freeze. Janet will notify
Jane (City Manager) to discuss what should be done.
Ron wanted to verify that the bench and garbage can will not be replaced on the corner of Valley Bank
Lot. The Board verified that they will not.
Snow removal for lots and sidewalks
An ad has been placed in the Mountain Trader requesting bids for plowing and shoveling. The ad will
run for two weeks starting today and bids must be received in our office by October 1st. Discussion
followed regarding bids that have already been submitted.
7. New Business:
Ron brought up the possibility of changing the tickets to include a one -hour parking violation. We
recently purchased 2000 tickets so when we start to run low we will discuss possible changes to be made
for future orders.
The next meeting will be on October 21st
