New Business '
1. Discussion of shopping center parking HC spaces
Talked to Brian Sheehan about updating the parking. He wants us to make a list or
problem areas or lots. That way it will be in the database and if one of those areas wants
to re-stripe or do construction it will compe up in his system if there a parking issue.
Sheehan will give us a list of shopping centers and each Commissioner will take a couple
lots and do a survey of the center. Need to set specified parameters for the assessment
by the Commissioners.
Some criteria to assess is to see what type of paint they are using and whether it is
fading. Also, send something to the shopping center owners or managers saying if they
are doing work need to report it.
