Mr. M1nter opened the meeting, stating that Mr. Reidy had asked
that item No. I on the agenda e1ther be deferred to permit the members
more time for study, or that the item be d1scussed in a closed session
before any action is taken. Mr. M1nter suggested that before reces-
sing to discuss item No. 1 in closed session, the Author1ty take up
item No. 2 on the agenda.
Mr. Minter briefly reviewed previous recommendations by the
Parking Advisory Committee w1th respect to parking time limits on
Parking Authority Lot No. 18. It was reported that the Advisory
Committee had recommended a two hour t1me limit on a portion of that
lot, but that on recommendat1on of the Administration, no time l~mit
had been 1mposed. Mr. Minter commented that this lot now is 100%
occupied by all day parkers who are employees in the area.
After some discussion, Mr. Minter made a motion that 25% of the
meters on this lot be converted to a one hour time limit.
Mr. Corey offered an amendment to the motion that 50% of the
meters on th1s lot be converted to a one hour t1me lim~t. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Spurgin.
