Updates from KPC: Street Update — Jack KPC Office Update - Karen See attached Office Managers Report 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 Adiournment• Adjourned at 8:10 a.m. moved by Janet, second by Mark.
