UNFINISHED BUSINESS Lot E Lease - Director McKenzie said that SunCapp has the Parking Authority managing half of the parking lot and Bel-Cross managing the other half. Director McKenzie emailed Kerry Barth, Vice President of SunCapp, to propose that the Parking Authority control the entire lot to avoid confusion to the general public. Once Director McKenzie receives a reply, he will inform the Parking Authority Board. Vice-Chair Jeanne Hagan asked if the SunCapp spaces were all permit parking, Director McKenzie replied that they were all permit spaces. Vice-Chair Jeanne Hagan asked if the Parking Authority managed the entire lot would the permit spots remain. Director McKenzie said that the permit parking would remain to accommodate the apartments that SunCapp leases. NEW BUSINESS Lot Leases - Director McKenzie stated that most leased lots were not producing enough revenue to cover the agreements. Director McKenzie will continue to monitor the activity of the lots. If the trend continues, Director McKenzie plans to meet with the different churches to see if they would be willing to split the revenue 50/50 until things return to normal. Budget Projections - Director McKenzie is currently working on a budget revision for the October meeting. July Budget Performance Report - Director McKenzie said with WVU starting later than usual that the July revenues were down approximately $85,000 from the previous year. Director McKenzie noted that the August numbers were looking better and that he would report more on that at the October Meeting. Director McKenzie also commented that outstanding ticket notices were mailed out for the first time in six months. Because of this, there would be a significant increase in fine collections on the August budget performance report. ADJOURNMENT The Meeting adjourned at 9:00 a.m. Parking Authority Chairman
