6. Updates from KPC:
Street Update — Jack
Jack requested that we have snow removed from the Centre Court Lot. People are
parking on the street instead of the lot because of the fewer number of spaces available
due to the accumulating snow. Janet will speak to Jane Howington (City Manager) to see
if something can be done.
Jack expressed concern over the number of vehicles with Washington plates parked in the
Ed Lot. Several have been here for a number of years.

Unfinished Business:
Lot Contracts
Glacier Bank and Valley Bank Lots - Janet has tried to contact Charlie Harball (City
Attorney) and he has been out of town. Valley Bank has contacted Ron requesting the
status of the Ordinance change.
Eagles Lot
The ticket machine covers will be started on Friday. The Eagles will be installed first and
then the remodel of the Valley Bank cover will begin.
7. New Business•
Epworth United Methodist Church mailed us an offer to purchase permit parking in the
Methodist Lot at approximately half of our already discounted rate. Discussion followed and it
was decided that in order to remain consistent with our policy we are not able to offer them an
additional discount.
Central School sidewalk shoveling

School. Karen will check the map that went out with the snow removal bids to see if it
was part of the bid.
