COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 16, 2009
TO THE CITY MANAGER:
PUBLIC DEFENDER?S CONTRACT:
Have the staff to check and determine whether or not there would be an

where individuals can go and read the economic impact of NCR. (Referral of
Mayor Pro Tem Turner Pugh)

PARKING MANAGEMENT:
Let?s have someone to speak to other businesses in the area where their
employees are parking on the streets; and let see if we can come up with some
kind of program with some of these businesses. Also, let?s go back and research
this matter and see what we can come up with that could assist in lower the
percentage in the Parking Management Fund. (Referral of Councilor Woodson)
Although there may always be some kind of subsidization with respect to
the Parking Management Fund, it is imperative for us to go back with all of our
management contracts and take another look at them to see if there is a way to
streamline and cut expenses. (Referral of Councilor Henderson)
Hopefully we could come up with a plan to look at a better way to deal
with this negative percentage as far as subsidizing or putting money into
parking garages. (Referral of Councilor Davis)
