R -66: T is request is from Mr. William C. Gilkey, Director, Human Resources aid Economic Development, to utilize the parking area located in the r ar of the former First Christian Church building located on South M in Street, per his Ietter of July 14, 1976. Tie summer CETA Program is operating out of the former First Chris- tian Church building that was rented to alleviate the tremendous aTiount of traffic that formerly filtered in and out of the County- City Building causing congestion and problems. The parking area w )uld be utilized to accommodate the CETA supervisors and coordina- t rs working in the program who are required to be there throughout tie day. Two police officers are on duty at the site and the con- trol of parking in the requested area can very easily be monitored b these officers eliminating serious parking problems which could d velop. . Brownell advised that he talked to Mr. Gilkey last evening and e possibility of a lease to the City, in lease amount of One ($1.00) llar per month, on a month -to -month basis, to run through the 20th August. Mr. Gilkey was in the audience and confirmed the statement. esident Nimtz stated the Commission has two concerns on this that s discussed informally prior to the start-of this meeting: 1) Legal liability, in case someone is injured-on-the lot, so we would request the lease be with the Board of Public Works, so that this would come under their insurance program. 2) The parking be controlled so that we don't get com- plaints from the merchants downtown and the people parking helter - skelter and every which way. Commissioner Wiggins related our experience with parking on that lot after it was cleared, as people were parking without authority, and we had the pipes installed to control the parking. The rela- tively soft fill placed in over previous building sites created problems in parking cars. He suggested placing cinders, gravel, o something in the area to be used for the parking to eliminate encounterfhc that problem. Since it is for only a short period of time, he said he sees no reason why it cannot be handled, but PARKING REQUEST APPROVED, R -66
