5. OLDIBUSINESS (Cont'd Mrs. Janet S. Allen asked if we are going to use those two blocks for parking- -angle parking - -or are we going to get some money to paint the supergraphic area, even if.it was just sprayed on- -one color - -one coat -- nothing fancy. President Nimtz advised that parking is not under the Redevelopment Commission's jurisdiction; the Board of Works is the one to contact to authorize the parking there. Further discussion ensued on parking and Mr. Brownell advised that he has talked to Mr. Farrand on this and that the Board of Works is working on it, but has not been publicly announced as yet. Mrs. Allen stated the Redevelopment Commission has control over those two blocks, and, also, as we are talking about a fancy stage for the Plaza, that we can certainly authorize a thousand dollars to paint the supergraphic area on the street. The Chair advised we will request the Director to discuss the paint with the River Bend Plaza Advisory Committee to see what they will come up with. We cannot authorize any paint for that right now.
