05-16-89 Parking Comm Minutesr - iPARKENG COMMISSION May I6, 1959 Conference Room/City MM 4:00 PM Attending: Chairman Gordon Pirrie, Steve Cooney, Gary McCarthy, Colin Wills, Amy Robertson, City Accountant, Mike Baker, Parks Superintendent and Doug Adams of the Sewing Center on Third Street East. Chairman Pirrie read a request to the commission from Doug Adams of the Sewing Center for a 30 minute parking space in front to his business on Third Street E. Because of customers having to carry machines in and out of the store it would be advantages to have a parking space near the store. Colin made the motion to make the space in front of the business 30 minute parking, Steve seconded, motion passed. Amy Robertson reported to the commission members that the finance committee, on April 17th approved transferring the $10,231 from TIF/Parking Commission into First Alley W. construction fund to pay for the lights purchased for that project. She stated there are cost estimates on the lights from Consolidated Electric, but she does not have them totaled up yet, as per the commissions request (Letter/Mayor 5/4/89). There was lengthy discussion of the improvements to city lots, including the O'Neil property. Mr. Bob Smith, who purchased the lot and building adjoining the city's property, would like to be notified when the city plans on paving their lot so he can coordinate his paving at the same time. Gordon suggested that a letter be sent him when plans are made, also trying to coordinate with the Law Firms' plans for paving. Gary asked if the commission could go with an outside contractor to do the work if necessary. The members decided to ask public works for a time frame as to when the • work can be done as well as some cost figures so the commission can budget for it After discussion the majority of the committee members decided the O'Neil property should be done properly as it will probably be used for parking for a long period of time, this includes removal of the concrete slab that is on the property now. The secretary read from the minutes of a city development meeting on May 12th stating the committee recommended to the PWD the removal of the concrete. Mike presented his plans for landscaping in the lot. He will put together cost estimates for the O'Neil lot, as well as estimates for improvements in the Eagles and Bowling Alley lots, so the commission can take their request to proper committees and council. Dismissed Parking Tickets: A copy of dismissed tickets for the last four years will be sent to each commission member to be addressed at the next meeting. The metermaid's working hours will also be discussed. The members would like her to attend the meetings and get some of her input and ideas. Parking Commission Budget: Chairman Pirrie asked the secretary to set a meeting for early next week with the police chief to go over the commissions budget for next fiscal year. Chairman Pirrie asked the secretary to send a letter to Bob Ivey asking if he would let the commission know if he still wants to be a member, if not the commission will appoint a new member to replace him.
