Mr. Con Johnson suggested that the City Council treat the businesses on the north side of the railroad tracks the same as on the south side, providing some contract parking spaces and a three hour time limit for customer parking.

Councilman Schuldt indicated that the City Council consider what the Retailers' Association wanted, as all of the businesses were members of the Association.
