Holiday ticket issuing

t'' through January 3rd
16. Second by Mark. Approved by all Board Members
present.
Parking Tickets
Jack expressed concern over how tickets will be issued after the transition has been made.
Mark suggested the possibility of writing KPD (yellow) tickets outside district and KPC
(orange) tickets inside district. He suggested that Jack and Mike (Animal Warden) carry
two ticket books.
BID grant for downtown signage
Janet informed the Board that the BID along with the city has received a grant dealing
with downtown signage for Kalispell. The TBID will be dealing with signs for the
entrance to the city. One of the issues pointed out by the consultant as to what we need
and what we need to do away with are some of the parking signs. Janet wanted to make
everyone aware that this is going to come up as an issue. There will be some changes
that need to be made and there should be some money available to make the required
changes. The grant is a federal grant and has to do with our conjunction with Glacier
Park.
Validating Parking
Jack made the suggestion that we start validating parking if the consumer can provide a
receipt showing that they have spent money downtown. Our goal is not to ticket the
consumer but to get the rock and rollers off of the street. Discussion followed. Mark felt
that it was worth exploring and said that he would need to discuss it with Charlie (City
Attorney).
Future Board Packets
Starting January, the Agenda, Minutes, Financials and Office Update will be sent via e-
mail. They will no longer be hand delivered. A complete set of all reports will be kept
on file in the office.
