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.
Meeting adjourned at 5:25 PM.

Drawer 1997
Kalispell, Montana
59903-1997
The next parking commission meeting will be on May 16th and one item on the agenda
is the number and cost of the lights for city lots. The Commission had a Council
approved budget of $75,933 with $65.702 going to pay off the debt on the Eagles
parking lot. The remaining $10,231 has been planned for improvements in lots.
I would appreciate it if you could give us an accounting of the specific number of lights
purchased for city lots as well as the cost of them so that we know what is remaining
for improvements.
Sincerely,
Gordon Pirrie
Chairman,
Parking Commission
