AGENDA
Call to order.
Approval of Minutes.
My Meeting With The Mayor:
•Garage
o Starting October, the city has scheduled quarterly cleaning (power
washing) for the stairs.
o The interior of the Garage will be power washed twice a year.
o Outside of the structure will be stained this year.
o She thought attaching the Arts Alley/Parking Garage card to parking
tickets was a great idea!
o Recommends that we utilize the Social Media apps for ongoing education.
o City will market the garage via their website/email and thru Police Dept.
o Recommends having a children's Scavenger Hunt, Easter Egg Hunt in
and around the Arts Alley area.
o Hampton Inn parking was discussed. She informed me the Hampton Inn
will be changing ownership and will be rebranded with an upscale Hilton
brand. When this happens, there will be a meeting with the new owner
and the mayor recommends taking down all the signs in the garage and
making it open parking.
o Recommended we attend the next Retail Association Meeting and give
them an update along with the raw data from our parking space counting
initiative
•Downtown Shuttle Stops -Thought it was a great idea; Arts Alley, Police
Station, Library, K1 Area, Civic Center.
•One Way Street Initiative
o Bellangee will become a one way in 2025
o Oak Street is tentatively scheduled for one way in 2025. Depends on the
construction progress for the restaurant.
o St. James/South Summit will be considered after Bellangee/Oak is
completed.
•Other Areas
o Kl Area is a good option
o Coastal Community will be adding additional parking (Approximately 40
spaces) on their campus in 2025.
Overall, she thought the Committee was doing a great job!
