Summary

Community Development staff presented a Jackson Civil Engineering proposal to apply for Lewis County '09 Funds' to build a parking lot on three city-owned parcels downtown; the council approved a $25,000 contract for grant-prep work.

Community Development Director Robert Webster presented a proposal prepared by Jackson Civil Engineering to pursue Lewis County '09 Funds' to build a parking lot across three city-owned parcels in the downtown corridor known locally as the 'hostel hole.' The project is intended to create parking capacity downtown and would be funded with Lewis County 09 Funds if the grant application is successful.

Councilman Jeramy Allman moved to approve a $25,000 agreement for Jackson Civil to prepare the 09 Funds grant application; Councilman Jess Bowers seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The contract authorizes Jackson Civil to complete the grant application; it does not by itself obligate construction funding or approve design details.
