NEW BUSINESS
1. A REQUEST TO CONVERT STALLS 140-150 IN THE CEAPE LOT TO PERMIT PARKING
(CURRENT CONDITION: STALLS 136-150 24-HOUR RESERVED PARKING)
Mr. Collins said that in the past 100 North Main Street had15 parking stalls reserved for them but were only
paying for 10 of these stalls. He continued that now they need to cut expenses and only need five. He said
they would like to lease spaces 136 – 140 and we need to amend the request to convert stalls 141-150 to
permit parking. Ms. Murken stated 100 North Main Street built enough underground parking for one car per
unit and the Ceape Lot was for customer parking for the businesses. She said the apartment needed spaces
for overflow parking.
Mr. Collins also said that the long term plan is for the Convention Center to use the Riverside Lot when it is
completed and then lease some of the Ceape Lot to the City Center. He received a request from the County
for potentially up to 40 parking stalls if they move some employees to the county building.

Ms. Anderson asked if 100 North Main Street could buy permits and park in those spaces. Mr. Collins
replied that vehicles can park in their leased spaces 24 hours daily and the permit parking spaces cannot
park from 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
Mr. Ratchman moved to approve item 1 after amending it to stalls 141-150. Ms. Murken seconded the
motion. (Motion carried 3-0).
2. A REQUEST TO CONVERT STALLS 61 AND 62 OF THE OTTER EAST PARKING LOT TO
LEASED PARKING. (CURRENT CONDITION: STALLS 61 AND 62 PERMIT PARKING)
Mr. Collins said the postmaster told him the Post Office wants these two specific parking spaces because it
is closest to their building and there is something in the contract with the union that they have parking as
close as possible to the building. He explained that recently a postal employee had received a parking ticket
for parking in a permit stall but they had been parking there for a long time.
Ms. Murken asked if anyone having a leased sticker could park in the designated leased parking spaces. Mr.
Collins replied that these two spaces would be leased to the Post Office and only they could park there.
Ms. Anderson moved to approve this request. Mr. Ratchman seconded this motion. (Motion carried 3-0).
