6. Unfinished Business:
Snow Plowing — KG Contractors failed to plow on two occasions. Large Amounts of snow piled
instead of removed. No plowing before 8 am sometimes it was 4 — 4:30 pm during the day
and cars were blocking the spaces in the lot. Snow was piled into the handicapped space in
the Skyline lot. Mountain Valley Lot had a big pile of snow blocking the entrance way off the
alley.
During this time Dick had gotten in contact w/ Rachel and made us aware of the fact that he
was gathering snow plow equipment and would be available to plow for us. KPC sent a letter
to KG Contracting thanking them for their service and let them know Dick was back in the
game and we would be continuing our business with him. Since then Dick has removed all the
snow that was sitting around and scraped all of the lots and they are much better. He and his
crew do an excellent job. He gave us his new bid which is slightly higher than KG but we were
aware earlier in the season his prices would go up. He and his crew try and get to all the lots
before 7:30 am.
Snow Shoveling — All Bright has been doing an excellent job. It has been really bad and they
have been doing it twice a day. They have called and asked permission and all the times they
have done it has been warranted.
Valley Bank Parking Lot/ Parking Garage — No further updates.
Truck Hit and Run —Dennis Young's body shop will be fixing the truck we will be paying for the
damage ($491) due to our $1,000 deductible on the Insurance.
New Goforth/Cushman-It was not put into the budget for this fiscal year. Discussion Followed.
Mark will touch base with Roger and begin looking for a used one for the future possibly.
City Permit Replacement- Renewals when they come over to get replacement permits. They
need to be charged just like anyone else. The remainder of the time on the permit by half.
KPC needs to let Roger know about this for future reference. This will be put into effect
immediately.
Quick books — Accountant still working on the adjustments it will get back to me in two weeks.
Boot Fee — Mark spoke with Charlie and Charlie will try and get us an answer this week.
