ISION OF TEMPORARY PARKING PLAN
Jim Kerrigan reported that the contractor of the parking
ramp has asked to be allowed to begin construction of Phase
II of the parking ramp prior to Phase I being open for
parking. This would mean that one additional row of parking
in the Phase II area would be removed from use on August
lOth. All of the ~emaining parking in this areas, except
for the one row directly adjacent to the NorWest Bank
Building would be removed from use on September 5th.
By being allowed to begin on Phase II, the contractor would
be able to finish the whole project at an earlier date and
hopefully avoid delays because of weather.
The Council agreed toallowt~e contractor to begin Phase
II. The staff will work with businesses in the area to
