RESOLUTIONS
A.RESOLUTION NO.2- 1998
Assistant City Attorney Steve Rabe explained Resolution No.2- 1998,stating that it pertains to
the Main Street Bridge which is a state project since it is not a City owned bridge.He said when
the project is done the location of the bridge is going to be changed and National Road West will
come straight across the gorge and connect with South A Street.And,in order to move that,the
state will need the right of entry and right of way on land that is currently owned by the City.
Rabe said what this resolution does is authorize the Mayor and any other City officials to sign
whatever documents that may be necessary to grant the entry and right of way to the state so the
bridge can be constructed.The plan is to start this project some time this fall,and this will allow
that project to go forward.He said there is also some land that is needed that belongs to the Parks
Department and a similar resolution has been passed authorizing Superintendent Stanton Lambert
and Mayor Dennis Andrews to sign any necessary documents for that project.Metzger moved to
approve,second by Henry and the motion was carried on a unanimous voice vote.
B.RESOLUTION NO. 3- 1998
1.Rabe said this resolution addresses parking within the uptown area.He explained that recent
changes have been made to the City Code as it pertains to a lot of the parking in the uptown area
which includes Main Street and the off-street City-owned parking lots.He said feedback received
after the ordinances were passed have resulted in recommending some changes.He said the result
of this resolution is that this Board would recommend those changes to be made to Council and
they will be presented to Council in ordinance form next week.He said the changes include
making the North 6`h Street lot north of the American Legion available to monthly parking pass
holders only.
The second change,he said,would add a new sub section to the code delegating to the City Clerk
the authority to impose reasonable regulations in the operation of the City-owned parking lots,
including being able to designate the number and location of any reserved spots that may be in any
given lot where reserved spaces are offered.He said the American Legion has been given 13
spaces in that North 6th Street lot because of their ownership of 40 inches into the lot,and they •
also lease an additional 13 spaces.Rabe said the American Legion has been contacted and has no
problem with the entire lot being for monthly parking pass holders only.Henry moved to approve,
second by Metzger and the motion was carried on a unanimous voice vote.
