DISCUSSION RE
PARKING & BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT:
Mr. Luebke asked for the current status of the
parking and BUS1ness Improvement Distr1ct. Mr.
Scott stated that the district has been legally
formed, and the taxes are due and payable as of
July I, 1966. (Bus1ness license taxes are due
August 31, 1966, and the property tax portion
1S payable along w1th the real estate tax in
December, 1966.)
There are two structures under construct10n, on
Second and Fourth Streets. Structure No. 1 on
Fourth Street will be completed and 1n operation
by September 14, 1966. The contractor has agreed
that if the second structure is not completed by
December 12, 1966, he will vacate on December 1
so that the structure can be used for parking
during the Christmas shopp1ng season, and he will
resume construction after the f1rst of the year.
The Parr Contracting Company has 1nformed the
Administration that there would be add1tional
charges during such a shutdown, but an exact
f1gure was not obtained.
Mr. Scott further stated that the Retail
Merchants' Division of the Chamber of Commerce
had met and requested that the meters remain on
the lots 1n the district until the f1rst two

l1mit in the structures and on the lots, they
agreed that the lim1t be three hours, subject
to change. The merchants are not in favor of
renting spaces on the top levels of the struc-
tures for employee parking until more than two
structures are in operation.
DISCUSSION RE
ADVERTISING
STRUCTURES:
Mr. Scott advised the Committee that the C1ty
Counc11 had declined to appropriate funds for
the purpose of advertising the parking struc-
tures, suggesting that the Chamber advertise
out of its general promotion budget or that
the merchants, 1n the1r standard ads, advert1se
them.
Mr. Luebke asked if there was a prov1s1on within
the formation of the district to take monies
from the d1strict for advertis1ng purposes. Mr.
Scott replied that the BaS1C Parking and Business
Improvement Area Law provides that these funds
can be used for promotion, but the Basic Act was
amended and 1ncorporated 1nto the Local Pro-
cedural Act to make it possible to create "free"
park1ng, and 1ncluded in the resolution of
intent10n is a prohibit1on against using any
funds collected for anyth1ng but parking.
Mr. Scott mentioned the fact that the C1ty can
probably obta1n institutional promotion on
KSRF and KHJ-TV.
DISCUSSION RE
MAJ:NTENANCE OF
STRUCTURES:
Mr. Luebke asked for clarification on the subject
of maintenance in the park1ng structures, after
they are open to the public, and if funds were
allocated 1n the City budget for this purpose.
Mr. Scott replied that the structures would be
ma1nta1ned by C1ty forces, as needed, and that
funds for th1S purpose will be drawn from meter
revenues.
DISCUSSION RE
PRIVATE PARKING
LarS WITHIN
DISTRICT :
To clarify a m1sunderstand1ng on the part of
some members of the Committee who received
compla1nts from certain merchants regarding
the operation of their private lots, Hr. Scott
stated that any merchant who chooses to offer
his lot for tax credits must apply by July 15.
He also made it clear that he had not ordered
any of the private lot operators to cease
allowing monthly parking on their lots. He

Main Street, and he was adv1sed that two of
