Cttorn(;�.(3:07 a — City council is still anticipating a structure. The In -lieu
of ordinance regarding new business where a fee will be charged in lieu of a
business being required to put in more parking space will generate money over
the next year that will be put toward a parking study We are probably a year out
from getting a study started and the staring process on the new parking
structure. In view of that the Council would be interested in getting a figure from
KPC for the value of the parking spaces for negotiation and construction
purposes.
Negotiations continue with Valley Bank. The City and Valley Bank will swap 8 lots
for 5 in a trade but we will not have access to the lot until the new one is built.
There are several concerns about employee parking and customer parking. The
new Valley Bank will go up; the old one will be demolished. Valley Bank will be
responsible for the demolition. Each party will pay for their own excavation in the
lots. Discussion followed.
KPC concerns voiced were as follows:
✓ Displacing permit customers currently in the lot — (32 spaces)
✓ Eliminating downtown parking for patrons of surrounding businesses
(2800 hrs of parking during August)
✓ Time Frame needs to be placed on Valley Bank Permit negotiation
In case in future the purpose of the land changes other than
parking.
✓ Parking Revenue for KPC
✓ Expense for KPC when the lot is under construction. Ticket Machine
etc.

precedence\consistency. Policy says no replacements. This was not decided on
previously. KPC Brd decided to cross that bridge when we got to it. We have had
2 incidents among permit holders and a few from the City employees as well as
Tri-City. Discussion followed. Policy from here on out will be $10 per month
remaining on the permit. This will not be a customer notification; but if they do
lose it this will be set policy. Motion to approve, Bill Goodman, Second John
Hinchey.
