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.

(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.
