Patricia Street Parking Lot Report Todd McDaniel briefed the NRB on the status of the parking lot. Mr. Howard raised questions about the $4.00 daily maximum. Chairman Gribou explained to the Board that the operational systems for the lot was a part of what should become a larger system addressing the planned parking garage, on -street parking, and the Patricia Street Lot. Mrs. Anz observed that the on -street parking was a critical element of that system and that there was a need to remove some of that parking now. Mr. Brymer explained that the city was currently in a implementation mode and stressed the importance of following through on the entire system. Discussion also involved parking lot signage. The consensus of the Board was to try to do more signage while trying to maintain a high aesthetic quality. Mr. Benning then motioned to modify the parking lot's rate structure to .50 cents per hour during the daytime hours. Mrs. Striegler seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. II.

There was also discussion by the Board on lighting issues facing the district and a question about the timeline for a possible signal at Boyett and University Drive.
