III. GUEST(S)
IV. DEPARTMENTREPORT
Financial Report: The financial report was provided by Laurie Matta. Mrs. Matta
began with the month to date report--we had $39,467 in revenue for the month of
September. Expenses were $31,000-- $8,000 in deprecation. Profit this month of $253.
If we compare to this time last year, we're at $3,000 more in revenues. Our expenses
have increased due to the management agreement, a loss of$15,000 year to date. Mrs.
Clarks noted Cumberland was down in revenue, Mrs. Matta noted it was because
courts were out.
Smart Meter Report: Mr. Palmore provided the report-There were 24 meters down
that were shipped back to IPS. Now only 14 are down.
V. NEWBUSINESS
1. Mrs. Matta gave information about a request for new meters on Main and Second
Street because people are now parking there for free after the $.25 rule was instated.
Mrs. Bradbury said they used to have meters there. They were removed when we did
the smart meters because they were outlined areas and underutilized. She now sees a
need with our growth. Mrs. Herrera notes that Strawberry Alley is always full now.
Whoever parks there gets a ticket and stays the rest of the day, there is no room for
customers. Mr. Bowie mentioned that we just had a public meeting that did not mention'
this and he feels it would be wrong to do something different than what we just told
them we were doing. Also, cost must be considered. Mrs. clark agrees with Ryan. Mrs.
Clark motions to Table to at least Jan 2021 to reconsider if the request is resubmitted.
Morgan seconds, all in favor.
2, Grace period after meters expire,_Mr. Palmore said he has been getting complaints
that some of the meter auditors watch some of the meters turn red and instantly write
a ticket. He would like to retrain them that if the meter is showing green we keep
walking and only if the meter is red we write tickets. Mr. Bowie asked if they do keep
walking on their route, how long it will take to reproach the vehicle. Mr. Palmore is
working on routes. He also notes that before we put a time limit on it we would have to
be cautious so we will have people say they are within the grace period. Mr. Bowie
would feel comfortable with retraining to keep walking if the meter is green and to
come back when the meter is red to create better perception.
3. Mrs. Herrera would like to make the electric space on Strawberry Alley into a
metered space as it is empfy a vast majority of the time. Mrs. Bradbury notes they were
donated by Nissan with no plan or period to utilize it. CDE was paying the bill, but has
stopped and it is now Parking Commission's responsibility. They will discuss next
month with additional information.
OLD BUSINESS
VI. MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION
1. Mrs. Matta discussed valet parking. One of the merchants has approached the
parking commission wanting to open/offer valet parking for all of downtown, not just
their restaurant. There is nothing in City code right now regarding this. They have
contacted Sgt. Gill and Legal to check with liability and to make sure we would be
covered. Legal has the draft almost ready then she will present it to F&A. There
would be a permit required, if a permit is turned down they could appeal and it would
come to the Parking Commission to vote. We do not have a lot of details on this, but
they do want to offer it quickly. We cannot give a spot for valet parking because we
have reserved spots during the day. Mr. Bowie is worried about being ADA
compliant. Mrs. Matta is in contact with Premier Parking regarding if this will
conflict with their agreement. Mrs. Clark mentions after looking this over, a lot of'
burden will fall on the parking commission.
2. Mr. Palmore is asking for more permission to void tickets when it comes to the $.25
rule. They have a lot of people asking for tickets to be voided because they didn,t
know the law had changed or the signage. He would like more power to decide on
these tickets. This is only for tickets regarding the meters new $.25 rule. Mrs. Matta
does not want to leave any room for favoritism. Mr. Bowie reminds the committee
part of their job is the void request.
