o
Mr. Kerrigan explained that the reason for this discussion
was to talk over design plans for the parking ramp. The
design was discussed with the staff. The staff and Mr.
Vedi, the architect for the project, will be meeting with
CCDC to get their input, and also will meet with NorWest
Bank. After these meetings, Vedi Company will present a

approximately two months. Mr. Vedi presented a suggested
design plan to the Council. Mr. Vedi explained that they
tried to design a structure that would serve all the
surrounding area. They would design the ramp so that it
would have the capability of being expanded, should this
be90me necessary in the future. He pointed out the proposed
ramp access. He discussed their plans for customer/employee
parking during construction, and the safety issues
$urrounding the ramp.
II. Discussion - community Survey
Mr. William Morris and Ms. Diane Traxler of Decision
Resources discussed the methods of conducting citizen
surveys. Mr. Morris explained that there are three methods
of conducting surveys; telephone, mail out and in person.
Mail out is the least expensive, but also is the least
accurate. An in-person survey would perhaps prove to be the
most accurate, but would also be extremely costly. The
telephone survey would seem to be the most practical from
every standpoint.

III. Discussion - special Events POlicy
Staff requested that the Council give them some direction in
the handling of special events such as, parades, festivals
etc. The clean-up after such events requires many hours of
