Mr. Mills advised that although no formal
agenda had been prepared, this meeting was
called because the Parking Author1ty at its
last meeting had asked for better liaison be-
tween committees. 1t was brought out that at
least one Advisory Committee member had attended
the last few meetings of the Parking Authority.
Mr. Luebke made a motion that the liaison mem-
ber of the Parking Authority be informed of all
Parking Advisory Committee meetings. The mot~on
was seconded by Mr. Mills and carried unanimously.
Mention was made of the fact that the terms of
office of Mr. M~lls, Mr. Brill and Mr. Connelly
had expired in January of this year. Ment10n
was also made of the vacancy on the Parking
Advisory Committee created by the resignation of
Mr. Rokos in July, 1965. Mr. Mills stated that
under the exist1ng policies of the City with
respect to any committee, the members continue
to serve until such t1me as the1r successors
are appointed by the Council and that therefore
the members whose t2-ms expired in January were
still considered, legally, members of the Ad-
visory Committee.
Mr. Luebke made a motion that the Parking
Authority be asked to regenerate the Parking
Advisory Committee by appointment of a new
m6mber to fill the one vacancy created by Mr.
Rokos's resignation and to take such action as
it deems appropriate regarding the expired
terms of the three members who are now serving
on an extended term basis. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Brill and carried unan1mously.

Mr. Brill expressed concern over the delay
relative to the par'-l.ng assessment district
becoming a reality, iilentioning the shortage of
parking for mall shoppers. He suggested that
the Authority be urged to expedite the assess-
ment district proceedings without further delay.
He also stated he would like to see two parking
structures in operation between now and the
1966 Chr1stmas season.
Mr. Scott adv~sed that the assessment district
is formed but that a lease between the City
and the Parking Authority must be executed.
This is one of the items Wh1Ch will be presented
for Authority action at its Spec~al Meeting of
February 15.
Mr. Luebke made a mot~on that the Park1ng Ad-
visory Committee re-state 1tS pos1tion relative
to the parking Assessment District: that the
Parking Advisory Committee is in favor of the
District and encourages the City Council and
the Parking Authority to proceed w1th its
format1on with all poss~ble haste. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Br1l1 and carried unani-
mously.
Mr. Koskoff entered the meet1ng at 3:55 p.m.
A question was asked relative to the order ~n
which the Admin1str_-~on plans to construct
future parking structures, and Mr. Scott
offered the following:
2nd structure: between Broadway and Santa Monica
on 2nd Street.
3rd structure: between Ar~zona and Wilshire on
4th Street.
4th structure: between Santa Monica and Ar1zona
on 2nd Street.
5th structure: between Arizona and W1lsh1re on
2nd Street.
6th structure: 4th and Broadway.
Mr. Mills asked if there was enough money in
the Parking Authority at this time to pay for
the one structure now under construct1on and
Mr. Scott stated that w1th the net proceeds
and what is left from the last bond issue there
is enough cash to pay for one structure.

Upon order by the Chairman with the concu~-
renee of the Authority, the minutes of the
meeting of January 11, 1966 were approved
as submitted.
Mr. Minter reported that a communication had
been received from the Administration re-
garding the award of bid for the construc-
tion of a parking structure on Parking
Authority Lot No. 15 in the 1300 block of
4th Street. It was the Administration's
recommendation that the award be made to
the Parr Contracting Company, the low bidder
for the construction of a 4~ level parking
structure with one elevator and with no TRV.
surveillance system.
Mr. O.Connor, President of the Santa Monica
Property Taxpayers' Association, asked if
the bidders had equal opportunity to bid
on all of the alternates. He was ~nformed
that all of the bidders had had such op-
portunity.
Mrv Ellis E. White, one of the three low
bidders, addressed the Authority. MrR
tihite's bid for a 4~ level structure with one
elevator was $706,074. The low bid f0r
this alternate was $692,684. Mr. Whi:e &tate~
that the wording of the invitat~on to bid,
with respect to alternate No. 2 (the de-
duction of one elevator from the base bid)
led to possible confusion by prospective
b~dders. In support of this statement, he
po~nted out the difference between the high
and low deductJ.ons for this ~tem between
the various contractors.

The word1ng of the bid proposal was expla~ned

DISCUSSION FOLLOWING
MOTION:
Discussion was held relative to the three
low bidders for th1s project, and ~t was
learned that, if the Administration's
recommendation were followed, the low bidder
would be the Parr Contracting Company,
being the low bidder on the 4~ level
structure with one elevator. The second
lowest bidder on this alternate was the
Harvey A. Nichols Company, with Ellis B.
White being third lowest bidder.
Concern1ng a monitor1ng system for the
structure, Mr. Scott stated that while he
agreed that there should be some type of
monitoring system he did not feel that the
closed circuit T.V. was the answer, due to
the high cost of installing this service.
Other systems are being looked into.
Mr. White requested permission to speak,
and Mrs~ Hoover made a motion that he be
given additional time. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Reidy and carried unani-
mously.
Mr. White mentioned the fact that the Parr
Contracting Company had failed to list all
of its subcontractors, but in discussion
it was brought out that Mr. Wh1te had also
failed to list subcontractors for several of
the items on his bid.
Mr. Wamsley made a motion that the bid be
awarded, as recommended by the Administra-
tion, to the Parr Contracting Company who
was the low bidder on the 4~ level parking
structure with one elevator (and without
the closed circuit T.V~ system). Th~ motion
was seconded by Mr. M1nter and discus310a
followed.
Mrs. Hoover brought up the subJect of
elevators for the parking structure. She
stated that it was her opinion that two
elevators should be prov~ded ~t this ti~c_
Mr. Scott advised that he would a0ree b~~
that the possibility of installing a

hydraulic elevator at a later date was
being investigated. He adv1sed that,
depending upon the results of current in-
vestigations, it might be possible that
the Authority could save approximately
$20,000 per structure.
Mrs. Hoover made a substitute motion that
the bid be awarded to the low bidder for
the construct1on of a 4~ level parking
structure with two elevators (and without
the closed circuit T.V. system). There
being no second to the motion, the Chairman
declared the motion lost for lack of a
second.
Mr. Minter inquired of the City Manager
whether or not it was the intent of th3 Ad-
ministration to make a recommendation for
a second elevator w1thin the coming year.
Mr. Scott replied that th1s was the intent.
Mr. Minter stated that this changed his
viewpoint and he would make the motion
again, that Mrs. Hoover just made, that
the Authority select the two elevator 4~
level structure and award the bid to the
low bidder on this alternate, Ellis White.
The motion was seconded by Mrs. Hoover and
discussion followed.
Mr. Scott recommended that the Authority
award the bid to the Parr Contract1ng
Company in any event, because most of the
experience of Mr. White has been as a
joint venture contractor with C. L. Peck
and because Mr. White has a limited staff
and limited equipment. Upon question by
Mr. Minter, Mr. White stated that the
Peck Corporation would not be involved in
this contract if he were awarded the bid.
Mr. Minter than asked if Mr. White has a
group of construction workers under his
employment at this time, to wh1ch Mr. Wh1te
rep11ed, 1I0ne of the best groups in
Southern California. II
Further discussion followed relative to ~he
feas1bi11ty of including hydraulic ele-
vators in the specifications, disallo"ling
all of the bids which were submitted, and
going out to b1d again.
