Commission discusses new parking-lot plan, surveying and contractor RFP
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a survey of an empty lot intended for a new public parking area and agreed to draft an RFP for contractors; attorneys will check permit needs and Commissioner Koger was tasked to assist Commissioner Meadows on the project.
Commissioners discussed plans for a new public parking lot after a local business raised concerns about downtown parking. Commissioner Cody Meadows said Mr. Day surveyed the empty lot earmarked for the project and described the steps he would like a contractor to follow when building the lot. The commission agreed there were no objections to issuing an RFP for contractors to bid on the work.
Attorney Zach Osborne and Attorney Joe Hoffman were asked to review whether permits are required before excavation begins. Mayor Jennifer Jones tasked Commissioner Ken Koger to help Commissioner Meadows move the project forward. No contractor was selected and no funding line item was recorded during the meeting.
The sign-removal vote earlier in the meeting (to remove two "City Hall Parking Only" signs) was presented as an immediate step to increase public parking while the longer-term parking-lot project is developed. Commissioners did not set a deadline for the parking-lot RFP in the recorded discussion.
What happens next: attorneys will check permit requirements and staff will prepare an RFP describing the contractor steps Commissioner Meadows outlined; timelines and budget details were not specified in the transcript.
