Information/Discussion
Parking Garage at Transit Station. Economic Development Manager Al Hicks briefed
the committee on the revenues and expenditures for this project. The figures will go to
finance. Councilmember Wagner asked for a reduced spreadsheet showing the
numbers, as well as a plan for soliciting commercial takeover of the facility.
Solid Waste Contract. Sharon Conroy announced to the committee that Waste
Management was the successful bidder for the contract. The contract will be reviewed
and housekeeping changes negotiated. The changes will be detailed for the committee
and council. The goal is to have the contract ready by the next committee/council
meeting on June 18th, 2001. Councilmember Wagner asked for incorporation of
language allowing the option to change the recycling schedule from every other week to
weekly.
2001 Fireworks Season. Chief Kelly stated that the emphasis this year will mirror that
of last year. Councilmember Wagner suggested that the command structure for tribal
security be determined to facilitate working with them..
Grant Offer from PSRC. Jack Locke submitted a document outlining the details of this
grant. There was discussion on what parking space was to be included and whether
$25,000 would be enough to cover a study for the entire downtown area. It was
suggested that if the scope is too broad, the area be scaled down rather than lessen the
depth and accuracy of the study.
