the City Attorney. Mr. Walker stated that he would do so and report back to <br />Council. <br /> <br />4. <br />Loop/Civic Plaza Parking Study Report by Public Works and Parks <br />Mr. Walker stated that there was a request made at the last meeting for some <br />information regarding the parking situation and the changes being made by the <br />proposed Trolley and Roundabout project. He stated that this report, although <br />informational, provided some options that Council may wish to weigh-in on at <br />some point in time, but that there were no recommendations by staff. <br /> <br />Ms. Carr stated that she had read this report with great interest because <br />parking is very important, and next to crime it is the one concern that she hears <br />the most about. She stated that the Traffic Commission had said very clearly <br />that they wanted to see the Loop Trolley Company create nine new spaces. So <br />said you could get about 20 to 30 spaces on Leland and Loop North if you <br />utilized parallel parking on one side of the street similar to Loop South. Ms. <br />Carr stated that the only cost associated with the new spaces would be the <br />paint for stripping, although there are no stripes on the south side. She said <br />you needed to widen Loop North you could reduce the green-belt on Loop <br />South or it could be turned into a one-way street. She stated that it is her belief <br />that the developer of the new building where Smith Hardware used to be <br />located had paid over $100,000 in construction costs to create 48 to 52 public <br />parking spaces in order to make up for the loss of parking. A precedent has <br />been established and she believed that rather than simply renting the spaces; <br />which created no new spaces or building a new addition on top of the parking <br />garage, the City already has something that they can grab at quickly. <br /> <br />5. <br />Alley Sweeping Report by Public Works and Parks <br />Mr. Walker stated that at the last Council meeting there was a discussion <br />regarding the Street Sweeping Policy and he staff has come back with an Alley <br />Sweeping Policy. He stated that information regarding the frequency of alley <br />sweeping has also been included in this report. <br /> <br />6. <br />Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) – City staff recommended award <br />be given to Concrete Sidewalk-Curb Repair project to West Fall Hauling, Inc. in <br />the amount of $50,000. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert moved to approve, was seconded by Mr. Crow and the motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />7. <br />City staff recommended approval of Change Order No. 1 for the Sanitary Sewer <br />Lateral Repairs Project, to Labibco/Labib S. Wajih in the amount of $155,640. <br /> <br />Ms. Carr moved to approve, was seconded by Mr. Crowe and the motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />8. <br />Purchase of a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus budgeted in the Fire <br />Department’s FY 2014 budget in the amount of $206,250. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
