7. Unfinished Business:
The City Manager spoke with Council about having a workshop to discuss the possibility
of raising the meter and ticket machine fees. The proposed amount for the new rate is an
increase from .25 to .50 per hour. If approved, the increase would not take effect until
the new fiscal year which begins July 1st. The funds for the purchase of new meters for
the Valley Bank Lot are available now and must be used by July I". Wade is thinking
that if we order them in May we should have them set up and running by July I". Wade
would like to stress the point that it is not a matter of increasing the fees just because
others are doing so. It is to help cover the lot expenses. The money we have budgeted for
the lots is not enough to maintain them and cover snow removal. We are currently
almost $6,000 over for snow removal. The bills are getting paid but are being taken from
the Police Departments budget. The Police Department has to subsidize the amount by
using funds allocated for overtime, training, and vacancy openings. By raising the
amounts on the meter and ticket machines, we should be able to cover the lot expenses
with the Parking budget and not have to be borrowing from the Police Department.
Charlie is working on a contract with First Interstate for us to sell 10 permits in their lot
south of Al Vacuum and south of Blacktail Mountain Books. Possible rates for the
permits were discussed. Currently the most expensive permit is $26 per month with 6-
month purchase (Valley Bank and Eagles Lots) and the least expensive permit is $13 per
month with 6-month purchase (Methodist and Northeast Lots).
8. New Business:
The next meeting will be Thursday, May 8, 2014.
