On Street Rate
Mr. Kish reported that he needs a date to raise rates for on-street parking. A date of
September 1, 2023, was proposed. Additional discussion regarding the City Ordinance(s)
took place-and it was noted that the City Ordinance does not set the rates, it just
establishes the penalty. Following this discussion, a start date of September 5, 2023, was
selected as a start date for the rate increase.
Third Street Garage Fire System
Mr. Kish reported that certain components of the fire system at the 3 rd street garage
did not pass inspection. Accordingly, Mr. Kish noted that he will request quotes for repairs to
present at the next meeting. Otherwise, the system is still online.
Third Street Garage Fencing
Mr. Kish reported that someone cut through the fencing in the 3 rd street garage. The
fence is repaired, but people are still crawling around the barrier. Mr. Kish will put up
signage dissuading people from continuing to ignore the barrier. The Authority also
discussed the problem with the homeless staying in the parking deck. Consequently, the
Authority asked Mr. Kish to report on the cost of cameras.
There being no further business to come before the Authority, the meeting was
adjourned at 5:40 P.M.
