The Parking Authority requests that the Public Works Depart- ment draw up bid specifications and advertise for replacement i of the ticket dispenser and gate installation at the parking garage. The new installation is to be similar to the one presently used at the parking facilities at Lambert St. Louis International Airport. 2. The Public Works Department was authorized and requested to apply a sealer on the four (4) paved parking lots now in use by the Authority. This will insure that the surfaces will not be damaged by petroleum products . 3. Mr. Hartley was requested to contact Mr. Donald D. Murphy, Rockwell Manufacturing Company and request the installation of multi-coin dual-headed meters in tle200 block of Jefferson Street on a minimum thirty (30) day trial basis . 4. The Authority voted to request the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority to impose a freeze for a period of one (1) year on the parking lot lease rates now being imposed by the Housing Authority. This will enable the City to retain its present parking rates fDr a period of one (1) year instead of a general increase which would be required January 1, 1972. 5. After considerable discussion, it was decided to table the idea of installing a roof over the parkin garage as the minimum cost estimates were in excess of 75,000.00 and it was felt most of the problems with regard to leaking would be corrected after the asphalt concrete overlay is installed. 6, The Authority recommends that for the present time the employees of the Parking Garage and Parking Authority be E utilized at their normal hourly rate for any .additional work necessary beyond their normal work shift rather than hiring any additional part-time help. 7.
