Council approves expanded TIRS façade program and parking-lot grant pilot
Summary
Council approved Resolution 25-2026 to increase the TIRS façade-improvement program from $50,000 to $100,000 and to add up to $50,000 for parking-lot upgrades within the tourist district via an application agreement.
Staff explained a proposed expansion to the TIRS façade-improvement grant program: the board recommended increasing the program funding from $50,000 to $100,000 to meet demand and adding a $50,000 allocation to upgrade parking lots within the tourist district through the same application process. The staff presenter said the resolution and draft application agreement establish program parameters for owners to apply for façade and parking improvements.
Council discussed specific parking-lot conditions and public comments about particular lots; a motion to approve Resolution 25-2026 passed unanimously. Staff will coordinate the application process and return with program details as projects are selected.
The expansion is intended to help more applicants complete visible exterior improvements and address parking-lot conditions that affect downtown circulation and aesthetics.
