9. CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTS
Stated that in reviewing the Towne Center Project Area Committee minutes, he was surprised on the
discussion regarding the parking meter labels. He did not feel a label stating operation time, days and
hours (operating procedures) was not a sign. He further stated that in reviewing the Town Center Design
Manual there is a need for clarification on that issue, it should be brought back to the Agency forthwith
to take action on.
Director Goss stated he was not totally familiar with the issue but did want to advise the Agency that
there has been some problem with clarification of language, whether it is a label or a sign, it will be going
through the budget process. Staff will be looking at proposals from the Finance Department and at this
point, there has been no decision as to what will or will not be recommended to the Agency, but it will
be included in the budget process.
Chairman Cox requested the item be docketed for the next Agency meeting for discussion.
