Implemented in the downtown area and that staff work on the other recommendations.
Since that time there have been a number of discussions with CLIC, principally Waiter

RE: Downtown Parking `
The appropriate ordinances and resolutions have been prepared for the Council packets
regarding the downtown ;)arking revisions. For your information, Richard Prima, Bob Holm, Jim
Pruss.. Alice Reinnche, Ron Stein, Marvin Davis and I met last Friday morning to discuss
all problems and details. We also conferred with Jack, Fred and .Jim. The ordinance and
resolution wording is a result of this meeting. The following logistics were also discussed.
The appropriate stickers will be here in sufficient quantity beginning the month of
February. They will go on sale for $5.00 per permit on January 25, 1981. At this point
the Fi-nonce Department will sell the usuo-1number of permits (135). plus a number equal to
the number of spaces in Lots 1,3, and 4 (84). We are gaining an additional 84 permit spaces
which brings our permit space inventory to 189 spaces. We have no idea if all of the permits
will be sold out and if we should oversell more or less. We are presuming experience will
provide answers to these questions and the conservative approach is being taken for now.
We realize that theordinance will- not be effective until February 6th; -therefore, there will be
no rigid enforcement until that date (this will not be a public announcement).
An infonmtional brochure with a map is being prepared for Pass -out to all permit buyersoncl
for use as a woming on vehicles in violation during the early days of the change. Fred and
his people will work out the specifics.
Signs have been ordered in sufficient quantity to sign all permit and two hour lots adequately
and they ore in good taste. All will be of a similar design. The money for the signs will
come from the parking district fund. They are to arrive for placement before February 1st..
Fred has brought the matter of traffic circulation in and out of the lots to Rtch Prima's
attention and it was the concensus during our meeting on Friday that if this program is to be
In operation on February 1 the circulation would have to stay the way it is. It is recognized
that this will. present some signing problems and it may be confusing to customer and employee
porkers, particularly in those lots where you have to drive throughone type of parking to
get into or out of the other type of parking. Again, time will tell the magnitude of the
problem.
Prior to the February ist date we will prepare some kind of press release for the two newspapers.
