proposal for redevelopment of the Valley Bank Lot. If approved, a request for proposals will be issued.
A City Council Work Session will be held at the end of August to discuss the plan.
7. New Business:
Jacob Thomas, Director of the Northwest Montana History Museum, was invited to the meeting to discuss
parking in front of the museum. Jacob provided information on current parking needs for the museum.
There are approximately 2-4 volunteers on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday,
there are approximately 5 additional volunteers, for a total of 7-9. Jacob wanted to stress the fact that the
majority of the volunteers and supporters of the museum are seniors.
Additionally, during the summer, Thursday Fest creates additional parking issues by eliminating parking
in front of the museum. Signs are posted at 7:30am notifying people that they cannot park there after
2:30pm. It was decided that the volunteers would utilize the 12, 2-hour spaces on the North end of the lot.
This will leave the 10-metered spaces available for people to park for up to 9-hours. Dave will monitor
the meter usage for the next couple of months and will follow up at the next scheduled meeting.
Janet requested that the city owned parking lot, directly north of City Hall, be added to the agenda for the
next meeting. Janet and Mark have both been approached by people concerning the current use of city
owned lots by city employees.
