MINUTES PASC O CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING VISITORS: 273, 3. JULY 6, 1971 There were no visitors wishing to address the Council at this time. MAYOR CARTER TRANSPOSED REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS TO REVIEW REQUESTS TO MODIFY PARKING METERS AND PARKING CONTROL IN CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT: DICK BANKS, President of Chamber of Commerce, favored removal of a portion of the parking meters; ultimately, all of them at a later date.. He suggested doing smaller areas on a trial basis. Mayor Carter responded by stating that the meters had been installed at -the merchant's request to deter traffic; therefore, if they were now removed, who would pay for policing of 2 -hour parking as proposed. In his opinion, parking meters were not solely responsible for lack of business as much as economics in general. BOB HALL, proponent of parking meter removal, cited that two petitions had been .circulated and the first one had 90 for removal, 9 against; the second petition had 33 for removal and 7 against. He felt the City of Pasco was dying and some- thing had to be done soon. HOWARD YOUNG, owner of Young's Department Store, favored removal of parking meters, but advocated control. He stated that he provided off-street parking for his employees; therefore, control was necessary in order to prohibit all -day parking by employees. JOHN NAPOLI, Western Auto Store, expressed concern.over 31 vacancies in the heart of Pasco. He further stated that Pasco was charging a tariff to shop here when they could go anywhere in the surrounding area and park free. He strongly urged abolishment of parking meters on a trial basis to increase revenue to the City via State sales tax. BOB YOUNG felt there were other factors more important than parking meters; i.e. , more off-street parking provided by employers and sufficient control in non -metered areas . JOHN SAWYERS favored complete removal of parking meters as they were a detriment to the City of Pasco. MRS. GERKEN , owner of Lad & Lassie Shop, favored removal of parking meters. CLIFF DALTHORPE, Pasco Clothing Store, felt enough time had been spent talking about removal and urged that something be done now. JOHN NAPOLI stated that continuous violators should be fined in an escalation -type manner. MAE HORSLEY was opposed to fines as, .in her opinion, that would be the same as paying parking meters to shop in Pasco. Mayor Carter thanked delegation for their views and assured them that the Council would have a definite answer at their next regular council meeting, held July 20; 1971. 274 MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING CLAIMS AGAINST THE CITY: JULY 6, 19 71 FLORENTINO F.
