7. Planning Director, Tom Jentz and Senior Planner, Jarod Nygren:
Tom and Jarod attended the meeting to discuss the undertaking of the downtown plan. Discussion
followed regarding parking issues and how Main Street and the downtown areas function. Tom stated
that this meeting is more of an icebreaker and would like to attend our next meeting to discuss their
findings. Tom requested input from the Advisory Board on what their long-range, long-term vision is for
downtown. Tom wanted it known that there is not a parking shortage, just a parking shortage perception.
8. Unfinished Business:
Central School Museum — It was determined that converting the 4 volunteer parking spaces to permitted
spaces is an Administrative decision not a Council decision. Captain Rademacher spoke with Gil Jordan
and Gil is designing a new permit for his volunteers. The volunteers will not be limited as to where they
must park. Captain Rademacher will take care of ordering the new signage. Jack will continue to monitor
the metered area and will ticket vehicles parked at expired meters, without volunteer permits.
9. New Business:
B.I.D. Parklet fee — The Board decided to give the parklets another summer and then revisit the fee
amount.
The next meeting will be Thursday, March 24, 2016.
