ITEM #2 Minutes Commissioner Winner moved to approve the minutes of the
February 18, 1988 meeting. `Motion` was duly seconded and `carried` unanimously.
ITEM #3 Free Saturday Parking
Downtown interests have requested that the City consider free parking within the Downtown Redevelopment Area on Saturdays. The Traffic Engineer estimates the annual revenue from Saturday
parking in the Redevelopment Area to be $10,000 to $15,000. The City has indicated its willingness to stop meter collections on Saturdays provided the parking system is reimbursed for
the lost revenues.
The recommendation is to authorize the payment of $7,500.00 to the City of Clearwater Parking System in lieu of Saturday parking revenues within the redevelopment area through September
30, 1988. A mid year budget amendment will be processed which will have the effect of reducing funds available for payment into escrow for future dept service.
In response to a question, it was reported approval would have no effect on the City's bonding agreement for the parking fund. The program is to begin on Saturday, April 9, 1988.
Ed Armstrong, ex officio member, stated the Downtown Development Board unanimously supported approval.
Commissioner Nunamaker moved to authorize the payment of $7,500.00 to the City of Clearwater Parking System in lieu of Saturday parking revenues within the Downtown Redevelopment Area.
`Motion` was duly seconded and `carried` unanimously.
ITEM #4 Meeting adjourned at 6:05 p.m.
