City Council Minutes <br />November 21, 2016 <br />Page 8 <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 Doty Administrator Cad 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 Army B orst'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 Davvntown Parking, Regu [zdons, permit6 ng and Decorative Ughtung <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 parking permits 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 />PO�EREp �9' <br />'' <br />
