Upon motion by Davis, second by Morris, the minutes of the meeting of
February 2, 1953 were approved. I
Mr. Leonard Ekstrand, Chairman of the Parking Commission, was present
and asked permission of the Council for the Parking Commission to go ahead and try,
to obtain enabling legislation to include .the following; suggestions:
1. Clarification of the City's power to provide funds for the
acquisition of off-street parking facilities by ta.x levies,
special assessments, -cr -,pledge of revenues, or an"y combin-
ation thereof so that the costs may be equitably 'apportioned,
and to borrow money repayable from any of these sources.'
2. The granting of express power to the City to use marking
meter revenues in the acquisition and development of off- !!
street facilities.
3. Th-e granting of express authority to the City to development-,of
'to
private interests for management and operation any off-street
facilities that may be acquired and developed by the City, and,
in particular,, to enter long term leases of unimproved lands
owned b the City to y private interests to improve and operate �
as off-street parking facilities.
4. An express grant of power to the City to devote lands now held i
i;
for park purposes (except where under a grant conditioned upon
their being perpetually used for park purposes) to the II
provision of off-street parking facilities.
5. An express grant of authority," in levying special assessments
against benefited land for the cost of acquiring and improving
a narking facility, to give consideration to the present use of
the benefited land in determining the extent to which it is ;
benefited and should. be assessed.
Air. Ekstrand also 'resented the folloeing recommendations on matters previously ij
referred to the 1?ArkiAg_;Commission:
1. The matter of prohibiting the parking of cars in the South side
of lst St. S. W. between 7th and llth Avenues has been referred to
our Commission for consideration. It is the opinion of the
Commission that this be tabled for the present time', and considered
at a later date in connection with other streets where a similar �.
problem exists.
2. The matter of stop signs at the intersection of Center Street and
7th Avenue East for the control of East and West traffic was referred
to our commission for study. It is the opinion of the commission
that a real problem exists in this location, However, it is the
opinion of the commission that we ,arb not--qua:lif.ied„ to.Ire'command. U- ic,_ .
what type of traffic control should be placed -at this corner, but
that the police department should perhaps experiment with various
controls to find a solution.
3. The commission would also like to suggest that another entrance i.
be provided on 2nd Street to the city parking lot known as the old
"Mill Property". We feel that this would cause.this'lot to be used
to greater advantage.
4. The commission would also like to suggest that meters be put in
use on 1st Avenue S. E. between 2nd Street and Cater St. Most of
this space is now being used by "All Day Parkers".
After hearing the recommendations a motion was made by Davis, second by Thiem, that
the CityCouncil g Parking y go on record as authorizing theCommission to sake l
i;
whatever steps are necessary to try to get the enabling legislation as recommended.,
