The chairmans only comment was that the lease is an annual lease, but it has a 30 day provision in the lease to cancel anytime. He said his only criticism was that it is actually only a 30 day lease and not an annual lease. Audria Moore-Wells responded that it is a yearly lease and then renewable every 30 days. Chairman Broderick said they would get back to the topic later.

NEW BUSINESS
a.
Downtown Parking
Shyanne Harnage and Dale Matteson were in the meeting to provide the committee memebrs answers on their concerns on the Kings Landing parking. Shyanne mentioned parking is not required, but they will be providing about 114 surface parking spaces and a parking structure for approximately 150-200 for patrons. The committee members discussed options and chairman Broderick provided a parking analysis that he created based on the Walker Parking Study. After tossing around ideas, Commissioner Perona recommended that they need to identify parking structures and funding. David Bushea made a recommendation that the Walker Study be revised to incoporate the PP Cobbs site and to determine the total number of spots needed since Kings Landing revised sites are done. Commisioner Perona also included that funding needs to be identified.
b.

Chairman Broderick began the conversation about the Parking Committee Resolution stating that after missing 3 consecutive meetings, they will be removed and Marvin Grimsley has not been to any meeting in 7 months and there are no excused absences.
