Unfinished Business:
Lot Contracts
Glacier Bank and Valley Bank
The Ordinance change passed. Judge Albright requested that the signs be very clear for the customers.
The signs must state that it is a $10.00 fine. Jim Ness (Glacier Bank) asked Janet if a sticker on the sign
would be sufficient. Janet spoke with Charlie (City Attorney) and he stated that it would be. Jack will
meet with Jim Ness (Glacier Bank) to discuss the changes necessary for the Glacier Bank signs.
Discussion followed regarding the changes that need to be made on the upcoming ticket order. It was
decided that we would add 1 hour next to the 2 hour box, the same as the 30/15 minute violation box.
Eagles Lot and Valley Bank machine covers
The covers should be installed on Friday or Saturday. Discussion followed regarding the possibility of
adding curb stops to protect the machine in the Eagles Lot. The Valley Bank Lot has large concrete
poles around it and the Eagles Lot does not. The Board decided that Ron will add curb stops to protect
the machine. Ron said that he will have some left from the Valley Bank Lot project that can be used for
the Eagles Lot. Janet requested that Ron check the curb stops along the alley side of the Eagles Lot
sometime this spring.
Striping of Main Street
Since our last meeting Janet has left three messages for Jane Howington (City Manager) and has not
heard back from her.
KPC Lease Agreement
Mark provided The Board with an update on letters recently received from Ogle & Worm regarding our
30 year lease. Hollister Larson had requested a Summary Judgment and was denied. They are
requesting a trial date. Mark will contact Darryl Worm (KPC attorney) to find out how we should
proceed.
Kelly Main Street Property
Mark suggested that we move forward and get contact information and any other details regarding the
sale of the building. Ron will make some phone calls.
7. New Business:
Budget for 2011/2012
The Board reviewed the budget from last year and decided to make a few small changes.
Snow plowing for next snow season
Mark presented The Board with another possible option for snow plowing. He has heard of companies
bidding snowplowing for the year. They charge you a set monthly fee that you pay instead of charging
you based on amount of snow received. Mark thought that it may help us as far as budgeting. Janet
suggested taking an average of the actual amount spent on plowing over the last three years to get an
idea of what the average monthly expense has been.
Summer Lot Maintenance
The Board decided to have Black Magic provide us with a bid for striping and sweeping of the lots.
Mark requested that the bid be broken down per lot instead of a total bid. Discussion followed regarding
the current condition of the lots. Joel suggested that now may be a good time to check into angled
parking.
Ron will provide the board with a proposal for summer lot maintenance.
The next meeting will be on April 21 st

I received the loan information the day after last month's meeting.
Lot sweeping
Black Magic submitted a bid for $1,875 to sweep all of the lots. The City has decided to sweep the lots so
we will not be using Tyler (Black Magic) this year. I received a call from Leonard Hogan (City) wanting
to know which lots we would like to have done. I spoke with him again on April 13th and was informed
that the sweeper in broken down. He will call me when they are done with all lots.
Lot striping
I spoke with Bill (Pavement Marking) and requested that he submit a bid that lists the cost for each lot
individually instead of one total cost.
