Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, reviewed action to date by the City Council particularly consensus action of the December 8 council meeting. He stated the council indicated they would support an increase in the parking meter rates and expressed support for Project B. The council also indicated it was willing to provide some general fund contribution toward the project. The contribution was not determined but it would range from what it has already donated toward the project for land acquisition which amounts to one million dollars, equivalent to one - hundred fifteen thousand dollars a year to go for advertising for the life of the bonded indebtedness. The Business Improvement Committee felt strongly that a donation should be made which relates somehow to the parking fine revenues that the city collect. Wayne Peterson continued that the council also concurred with a revision to the parking standards already proposed and in general .agreed there should be a parking requirement in the downtown zones with provision for in lieu fees. As far as exemption for residential property is concerned, the council concurred with exempting in lieu in moderate cost residential on the second floor and above in all existing buildings and on the third floor and above in new structures.

Al Gazin, member of the Community Parking Committee, then reviewed the cost formula as seen from the property owner's and tenant's point of view, that the annual district debt payment would be equal to the annual fixed property assessment plus the net parking revenues plus the city contributions plus other contributions. And he was hoping that these figures could be pinned down at an early date. The reason for the emphasis on trying to arrive on a formula for the annual payment was that the parking committee was worried that if the cost per square foot was not fixed at the beginning of the project, it would be extremely difficult to sell to property owners and tenants, as they would have to look many years ahead on rents and on paying the rents through the property owners. At 2:30 p.m. Ron Dunin arrived at the meeting. John French, member of the parking committee, asked the council to approve the assessment formula so that the committee can begin to sell the program to the property owners and merchants, to authorize the preparation of plans for either B or C and the operating cost estimate and to establish the revenue and expenditure statement for the project, and the council to decide on the guaranteed fixed annual cost by the city. There was no formal action taken but the City Council took the following action by majority consensus: 1) Project "B1" or "C3" would be the project staff would work towards. 2) .07C per square foot on the first floor would be the maximum assessment. 3) The boundaries of the parking district would be as shown in the E.R.A. report, page 6 -2. 4) The City Council answered the committee's question in Report No. 2 dated 11/24/80 as follows: Question #la - .07C per square foot maximum assessment, lb - meter rates to be increased to .20C per hour in the core area and .16 per hour on the periphery, lc - the City Council would contribute the parking meter rate collections after operating costs have been deducted.

Question 966 - no added factors could be added to the assessment for sales volume of the business. Question 967 - new developments in the district would pay in lieu fees as recommended by the committee and under conditions estab- lished by the committee. Further discussion by the council, consultants, and committee were continued to a future date to allow the consultant to complete the report on the next phase of the parking program based on consensus at the last two meetings.
