Current City Poliey on Parking Meters, Specifically in the City Center Plaza Area REPORT: Housing Coordinator Jones-Thomas, December 1, 1997 Housing Coordinator Jones-Thomas presented the staff report and described the agreement with the developer having to do with providing parking. She stated that the merchants in the area, in the past had wanted parking meters to create available parking for prospective buyers. She advised that the developer would be completing sidewalk construction within 30 days and needed to know if the Council wanted parking meters or not. In response to Viee Mayor Ruskin's questions, Coordinator Jones-Thomas advised that one of the viable options open to the Council was installing underground sleeves with covers which, at a later date, could be filled in with concrete if meters were not wanted, or filled with parking meter poles, if they were desired. In response to Couneil Member Hartnett's questions, Coordinator Jones-Thomas said there was time to obtain an amendment to the development agreement without delaying the plans of the project. Couneil Member Hartnett expressed concern that City actions might delay the completion of the project and negatively impact the developer's financial arrangements.
