IV. DEPARTMENT REPORTS
Financial Report: Ryan Bowie reviewed the financial report. YTD 2021 was up from
July 1 to November 30. Monthly, we’re showing a loss compared to last year when we
saw a profit of about $10,500. Michael Palmore attributed this to the Cumberland
Garage being closed and pay machines being down.
Meter Report: Caleb Copeland (Premier Parking) reported that on January 3 there
will only be 46 meters which will be on 1st and 2nd Streets (which will also be serviced
by ParkMobile), everything else will be ParkMobile only.
V. NEW BUSINESS
1. Obstruction Permits
Mr. Palmore said that we currently have a $30 application fee, and a $10 per space
fee for up to 4 spaces. Any additional spaces are $20. The proposal is for the
application fee to stay the same, each space will be $25 for up to 2 spaces, and any
additional spaces up to 4 would be $30. For reference, the rate to park for a day is
$12.50 if you feed the meters. John Hilborn added that the City Attorney has said
we need the liability upped to $1,000,000. Mr. Bowie asked that the website indicate
that the obstruction permits are approved by staff and not the Parking Commission.
Mr. Palmore said that another change would be to charge for every day, including
weekends and holidays. Also discussed was how to minimize disruption of
neighboring businesses when construction is happening as well as ways to
coordinate with Building & Codes when businesses are applying for permits.
Applicants will need to allow 48 hours (business days) for approval with special
allowances for emergency situations.
Also proposed is an oversized vehicles (or equipment) charge of $185 per day for
projects that require the street to be blocked. Mr. Bowie suggested checking with
Jennifer Letourneau or Michelle Austin to find out the protocol Parks and
Recreation follows for closing down a street. Mr. Hilborn suggested that the
Communications Department put out a notice about closures to make people aware
of upcoming closures and which businesses will or will not be open during the road
closures.
Mr. Bowie moved to adopt the presented rate structure for obstruction permits with
a 48 hour (business days) approval time built in for obstructions to the parking
spaces. The policy for oversized vehicles requiring road closure is tabled until the
January meeting.
2. Monthly Parking Permits (Contracts)
Mr. Palmore presented a proposal to make monthly parking fees due by the 5th of
the month (previously the latest date it was due without a late fee was the 15th).
Late fee would stay the same at $5.00. If payment is not paid by the 5th of the
month, the permit is forfieted for that month. Mr. Palmore reviewed the adopted
Monthly Parking Discounts which were adopted at a previous meeting (25%
discount for Government, 30% discount for County. Any contract for 10 or more
spaces will have it’s own contract negotiated on a case-by-case basis. There will be
no more Duplicate Hang Tags.) Mr. Kean moved to adopt the Monthly Parking
Permits as presented, Mr. Bowie seconded, and the motion passed.
3. Monthly Parking Rates
Mr. Palmore presented a proposal to increase monthly parking rates by $15 to
accomplish needed maintenance and improvements. Parking has not raised rates in
decades. Caleb Copeland (Premier Parking) noted this is still a substantial discount
over the daily parking rate. Mr. Bowie requested that there would need to be
sufficient avenues for the public to become aware of the changes and have their
questions answered. The Commission discussed holding multiple Town Hall
Meetings and putting together an FAQ sheet. Mr. Shelton motioned to approve the
Monthly Parking Rate increase. Mr. Kean seconded the motion and the motion
carried.
4. Elite Passes
Mr. Palmore brought up a proposal to offer a discounted parking permit for elected
officials. John Hilborn suggested that we should to get input from the City Attorney
and the discussion was tabled.
5. Mixed-Use Garages
Mr. Palmore has proposed all garages and lots would be mixed-use. There would not
be any assigned spaces. Mr. Bowie made the motion to make all monthly parking
garages and lots mixed use. Mr. Shelton seconded and the motion carried.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
1. State of the Cumberland Garage
Mr. Hilborn said the garage should be opened within the next 10 days. Mr. Palmore
indicated that parking in the garage will be free for the remainder of of the month.
2. New Parking Garage
Mr. Hilborn said the city is investigating options and discussions are in a very
preliminary state.
3. ParkMobile
Mr. Palmore indicated that ParkMobile would be going live in January and signage
will be going up throughout the downtown area.

IV. DEPARTMENTREPORTS
Financial Report: Regina Hampton presented the financial report. Month-to-date
numbers: Revenue was $26,198, expenses were $23,449 so we had an operating
income of $2,7 49 and a net loss (including depreciation) of $4619. Year-to-date our
revenues are $145,142, expenses are $106,417, we have an operating profit of $38,725,
after depreciation a profit of $9,250. Mr. Bowie asked about the loss for the month.
Michael Palmore said it was largely due to a pay station that was not operational.
Meter Report: Caleb Copeland (Premier Parking) reported that we had 153 meters in
the field. We received l2 repaired meters from IPS last week. We have 142 spares, of
those we will only need 46 once we move to ParkMobile; those 46 meters will go on lst
and 2nd Streets (which will also be serviced by ParkMobile), everything else will be
ParkMobile only.
V NEW BUSINESS
l. Holiday Parking
Mr. Bowie has gotten questions about free parking to incentivize shopping and
dining downtown during the holidays. After discussing options, Mr. Bowie moved to
have free parking in Historic Downtown on Fridays in the month of December. Mr.
Shelton seconded and the motion passed.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
l. State of the Cumberland Garage -
John Hilborn said engineers should be done with their work by the end of
November, then there will be safety and remediation work that needs to be done.
2. New Parking Garage
Mr. Hilborn said the Mayor is sensitive to the need and is working on a plan. Mr.
Bowie stated that it is a big concern. There was discussion about ways to partner
with local businesses that have lots that are not used in the evening when there will
be events happening at the MPEC.
3. ParkMobile
Mr. Bowie asked how the public will be notified about the change. Mr. Palmore said
ParkMobile will provide signage and instructions. The meters will still have the
existing blue signs. The thought behind the placement of the metered spaces is that
they will be closer to City Hall for those who want the option to pay a meter and
don't want to deal with an app. The Cumberland Garage will have ParkMobile
along with two fully upgraded, brand-new Pay Stations, and rve are discussing
upgrading the existing Pay Station, so there may be a third. The newer 4G meters
are being migrated to lst and 2nd St. The older ones will be on Franklin and
eventually removed.
4. New Parking Contract
This will be discussed at the next meeting.
VII. MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION
Mr. Palmore said that at the next meeting we will discuss Obstruction Permits due to
increased construction in Clarksville.
Mr, Palmore also said that we are in the process of looking at an enforcement software
called Ballpark to replace Cardinal. lt is more user-friendly for the admin side and
for our enforcement team.
It was determined that we need to come up with a plan to notify the public of coming
changes.
