 Lot 2 9 portion Re-paved

Projects on the Horizon

 Design Requested for Lot 1 2

• Paving and w ater run-off m anagem ent.
• Now that Lot 1 2 is capped it m ight be cheaper to pave?
• W e should have this assessm ent back in a m onth or tw o.

 Repaving of Lot 2 5

• Lot w as already in rough shape before the canopies w ent in

and w ill probably be a “patchw ork” after the canopies are finished.

• Rough estim ate to repave is $ 5 0 0 k but there m ay be som e

post solar grant m oney available for this.

 Hills Dem olition I deal

• I ’ve been told that after dem olition of Hills, it w ill becom e a

parking lot.

• I have been pushing for this for 2 years.

W hat’s the Parking Plan?

More efficient parking m oving forw ard

 Digital vs. Manual

• Move all the “m anual, un-trackable” perm its to a digital

controllable form at. CPP vs. OPP

• Renew als and full year perm it purchases to be

com pleted on-line only. Over-the-counter purchases have dropped dram atically over the past 2 years as w e m oved to E-Biz and w ith the creation

• f TPP and CPP. Still, on-line purchases equal less

than 6 0 % of total yearlong sales.

• LPR – License Plate Recognition or perm it-less
• parking. Your license plate becom es your perm it!

This technology has im proved trem endously. But w ill need to m ove aw ay from m anual perm its in

• rder for this to w ork efficiently.
