City Council Minutes Page 8 <br /> November 21,2016 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Mr. Carlton indicated the developer was approved for three model home permits <br /> with the first development agreement and five with this development agreement. He <br /> explained model homes are normally used as a tool to sell homes but he feels like <br /> approving more model home permits will move away from the intention of model <br /> homes and instead be used as a tool to allow earlier building. <br /> Moved by Councilmember Westgaard and seconded by Councilmember <br /> Olsen to amend the proposed Development Agreement to allow eight model <br /> home permits. Motion carried 5-0. <br /> 8.3 Summary of City Administrator Cal Portner's Performance <br /> Evaluation <br /> Mayor Dietz read a statement summarizing Mr. Portner's performance evaluation. <br /> 8.4 Summary of Parks Maintenance Worker Amy Borst's Performance <br /> Evaluation <br /> Mayor Dietz read a statement summarizing Ms. Borst's performance evaluation. <br /> Recessed 7:41p.m. to go into work session. Reconvened at 7:49 p.m. <br /> 9.1 Downtown Parking, Regulations, Permitting and Decorative Lighting <br /> Mr. Portner presented the staff report. <br /> Downtown Parking Regulations and Permitting <br /> Mayor Dietz stated he agrees with removing the parking signs,getting rid of fees, <br /> and not enforcing. He added it bothers him that employees and some business <br /> owners park in the spots that should be for customers but the city has no control <br /> over this. He added the city made a good faith effort to enforce parking but <br /> employees got wise and figured out ways to avoid the requirements. <br /> Fred McCoy,McCoy's Pub— stated the idea isn't to get rid of parkingpermits but <br /> to stop charging for the permits. <br /> Councilmember Olsen noted there are costs associated with staff issuance of <br /> permits. He agreed there should be a designated employee parking area. <br /> Mayor Dietz indicated the cost to issue permits is minimal. He questioned if the <br /> permits can be changed to not expire. <br /> Chief Nierenhausen stated this would still need to be monitored. Chief explained he <br /> is trying to understand why permits would be required when there is no fee and the <br /> area is not monitored. He noted all downtown businesses would need to be in <br /> agreement to make this work and he is not hearing that agreement. <br /> P 0 W I R I D 9 Y <br /> itm§A UREJ <br />
