Commission approves $24,000 for High Street paving and public parking
Summary
The commission approved a $24,000 public-paving and parking project on High Street intended as a public parking area available to adjacent businesses after staff noted the city cannot fund private-only parking.
The Charlestown City Commission approved $24,000 to repair drainage and add a public parking area near Lehi Street as part of a High Street paving project.
Staff explained the city received a quote of $24,000 to construct a public parking area at a location that will serve local businesses and the public. Staff reiterated that when public funds are used the resulting parking must be public and not a private-only lot.
A commissioner asked whether the arrangement would amount to a quid pro quo for the property owner; staff replied that the owner "would be satisfied with some type of parking" and that any agreement would be formalized. The commission voted to approve the expenditure by voice vote.
Staff said the work would be coordinated as a public improvement and that the contract amendment would be processed through the appropriate board.
