Tim said we need 'tO get some teeth in the contract. Brian said when they get slammed and 14 cars pull up at once then the only way to handle it is to park Mill and Hopkins It only takes five cars backed up until you are in the intersection.' They need to get the cars offthe street and some go in the alley behind city hall and then they come and get them. Brian said if the side entrance of the parking garage is closed then they have to trek around to the from of the garage and they loose three to four minutes. Andrew asked Tim how hard it is to keep the side entrance open. Tim said he would look into keeping the side entrance open all the time, He also said his staff finds that the cars are behind city hall which is unacceptable. City Hall cannot be a staging area for the cars. Brian said they pay the city $2. for every car no matter what. On a slow night they might park 12 to 25 cars. From Dec. 26th to January 1s~ to usually is 80 to 120 cars per night. COMMERCIAL CORE & LODGING COMMISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 4~ 2002 Tim said the Community Bank lot is owned by the city and that is being used by Brian and also the Hotel Jerome which is in violation. Tim requested that Brian deal with the issue of staging cars or possibly hire more people. Blocking the intersection is a hazard. Brian said it is only bad at XMAS time and after the summer concerts. Brian also said he has three employees and during the peak he has five runners. Tim said he is opposed to the Community bank being used as a staging area. Brian's employees need to slow down in the garage. Speeding in the garage is an issue. Tim reminded Brian if a card is lost you need to notify Us the very next day. Any car not in the garage is in violation. Tim finalized by saying that the signage ends up in the middle of the street and that needs to be controlled more. Brian said he would like to get Tipsi Taxi trained and presently he cannot because he is not an establishment. Staffsuggested Brian contact Ellen Anderson and meet with her to discuss the issues.
