of 32 Yonkers Parking Authority Special Board Meeting Minutes January 03, 2013

Amended Proposed Budget 2013

Mrs. Mrijaj briefed the board concerning her meeting, and items in recent email communication, with the Deputy Mayor, Ms Susan Gerry that would impact the 2013 budget. Mrs. Mrijaj outlined the salient points of contention concerning the amended proposed budget. Mrs. Mrijaj’s briefing notes are attached, and incorporated by reference, to the minutes.

 Buena Vista Garage Premises Lease

Mr. Cavanaugh addressed the board members and said, “You saw my email to Mr. H. Chris Kopf of O'Connor Davies questioning. “Why is there no allocation of rent for the Buena Vista Garage?” Mr. Cavanaugh added, “Looking at Mr. Kopf’s opinion, the Authority should pay rent even if we charge for a value less than the fair value and have number apportioned. There must be a lease. We would not be doing our job if we adopted a budget that had revenues and expenditures without a lease.”

Mrs. Mrijaj responded, “I remind the board that the YPA has been paying the entire overhead cost for the Buena Vista Garage and if we go down that road it will not be financially favorable to BVG.” Mrs. Kischak said, “I am in favor of a lease, keeping in mind that the Yonkers Parking Authority was asked to come here. This won’t get settled tonight. I wish to adopt the budget tonight.” Mrs. Kischak further imparted that the same agreement in force at Pier Street should be extended to the Buena Vista Garage since the board who had voted to move to the Buena Vista Garage at the City’s request understood that to be the case.

 YPA Employee Parking Fees

Mr. Cavanaugh said we should then pay for it. If the City of Yonkers employees pay fifty ($50.00) dollars to the Authority the Yonkers Parking Authority employees should also pay for parking. Mrs. Mrijaj responded, “If this garage were filled to capacity I would agree; but, it is not.” Mr. Cavanaugh stated, “We should include the parking in the budget.” Mr. Ramondelli stated, “I feel that there should be a lease. As a City of Yonkers employee, I agree. Yonkers Parking Authority employees are no better than City of Yonkers employees.” Mrs. Kischak stated that we came here from Pier Street under the same assumptions and agreement as was in effect at Pier Street, employees never paid for parking at Pier Street.

 Legal Fees

Chairman Regan said, “We do not see the City acting quickly on anything relating to the Yonkers Parking Authority, an example of this, are the legal fees. The law firm did its part by lowering its fees to almost half and the City still refuses to release the payment.” Mr. Nigrello noted that per his conversation with the city administration, the City of Yonkers does not intend

 Legal Fees cont. to release the Authority’s funds to pay the attorney’s fees. Mr. Nigrello further commented that the Mayor’s office had asked him not to approve the budget that evening.

Chairman Regan noted that the Deputy Mayor had told Mrs. Mrijaj that she would only release the twenty–five thousand ($25,000) due to the attorneys if the Buena Vista Garage deficit was further decreased by the same amount. To which, Mrs. Mrijaj responded that it was illegal and that she would like to have such requests in writing. Mr. Nigrello and Mrs. Kischak both voiced their frustration with the still unresolved matter and asked, “What happens now that the funds won’t be released?” Mr. Nigrello noted that the city administration has shown that they do not want to approve the release of the Authority’s funds to pay the attorneys and asked, “Can the attorneys sue us and the city?” To which several board members responded in the affirmative.

Mrs. Mrijaj added that she had met with the Deputy Mayor, Ms Gerry, on December 4, 2012, in good faith, and that both had agreed to work together. Mrs. Mrijaj added further that it was very disheartening to witness the actions taken afterwards by the city administration like the emails announcing the parking permit price decrease for city employee parkers and rescinding the validation parking for the Veterans Clinic patients. These actions clearly demonstrate that the city administration does not intend to work with the Authority. Mrs. Mrijaj said, “A call to discuss the issues before sending the emails could have avoided the havoc these emails caused.” Mr. Cavanaugh then stated that he had seen the email concerning the veterans parking and that he had also seen the Deputy Mayor’s response in which she restored the veterans’ validation parking. To which, Chairman Regan conveyed that the call should have come first. Mrs. Mrijaj emphasized to the board, “This along with several other issues is why I would like to ask the board again to review the option of appealing the lawsuit.” To which Chairman Regan and other members agreed that the issue needed to be addressed. Mr. Nigrello said, “I wanted this all to be resolved before I left, including the union negotiations.”

Resolution No. 2013–01: Approve Allocation of Funds for Buena Vista Garage Capital Improvement Program (CIP)

Mr. Regan introduced resolution 2013 – 01 stating that in light of what has transpired that he was not comfortable approving a resolution to absorb fifty–six thousand ($56,000) out of the Buena Vista Garage budget to the Yonkers Parking Authority budget considering that when we offer our hand they want the whole arm. Mrs. Kischak agreed stating that “We need to hold off on the resolution especially considering that such liability per our management agreement should be funded by the Buena Vista Garage’s budget. The motion was placed aside pending other matters.

Buena Vista Garage Proposed Increase to Daily Parking Rates

Discussion ensued concerning increasing the Buena Vista Garage daily rate fifty ($.50) cents as opposed to one ($1.00) dollar. Mr. Dalli provided a chart, which is incorporated by reference to the minutes, for the board’s review that illustrated the breakdown of percentages of fee transactions versus cash transactions. Mr. Dalli indicated that a one ($1.00) dollar increase would best help the City with the Buena Vista Garage deficit. Mr. Cavanaugh asked “Why not increase everything across the board?” Mr. Dalli said, “I caution the board that we need to stay competitive as Hudson Park charges ten ($10.00) dollars more than the Authority does. An increase would put us in competition against ourselves.” Chairman Regan asked “What does the board want to do, two–fifty ($2.50) or three ($3.00) dollars?” Mr. Nigrello opined that a one dollar increase was acceptable and asked, “What do the other board members say?” Mr. Ramondelli asked, “What is an hour of parking at Ridge Hill?” Mr. Ramondelli was informed that one hour of parking at the Ridge Hill parking garage was three dollars and fifty cents ($3.50). Mr. Ramondelli said, “I am ok with going up a dollar.” Mr. Cavanaugh stated, “I feel that a dollar is high. I rather see an across the board increase.”

Resolution No. 2013–02: Proposed Buena Vista Garage Daily Parking Rate Increase

Mrs. Kischak moved to approve resolution 2013–02 and was seconded by Mr. Nigrello. The board passed Resolution: 2013–02, four to one (Mr. James Cavanaugh voted nay).

After the vote, Mrs. Mrijaj reminded the board that the rate increases would need to be applied to our other garages as we should not compete against ourselves. I will present these resolutions next month.

Resolution No. 2013–01: Approve Allocation of Funds for Buena Vista Garage Capital Improvement Program (CIP)

Chairman Regan said, “I withdraw my original suggestion for the fifty–six thousand ($56,000) dollars and we’ll go back to the original plan.” The board reviewed Resolution 2013–01. Mr. Nigrello moved to approve resolution 2013–01 and was seconded by Mr. Ramondelli. The board passed Resolution: 2013–01, four to one (Mrs. Kischak voted nay).

Buena Vista Garage Premises Lease

Mr. Cavanaugh again brought up the issue of a lease for the Authority’s use of the Buena Vista Garage. Mr. Cavanaugh said, “I believe there should be a lease.” Mr. Nigrello stated I am not sure this board agrees. Mr. Cavanaugh said we also need to research the IRS issues that require YPA employees to declare the value of the free parking benefit.

Buena Vista Garage Premises Lease cont.

Mr. Cavanaugh called for a resolution (2013–04) expressing the board’s intent to negotiate a lease for the premises occupied by the Yonkers Parking Authority within the Buena Vista Garage. Mr. Cavanaugh dictated the resolution as follows:

Be it resolved that it is the intent of the Yonkers Parking Authority board that there be negotiation between the Yonkers Parking Authority and the City of Yonkers in order to effectuate a lease for the premises occupied by the Yonkers Parking Authority in the Buena Vista Garage as referenced in the conveyance and operating agreement by and between the City of Yonkers and the Yonkers Parking Authority, dated June 24, 2003.

Resolution No. 2013–04: Negotiate a Lease for the Premises Occupied by the Yonkers Parking Authority Within the Buena Vista Garage.

Mr. Cavanaugh moved to approve resolution 2013–04 and was seconded by Chairman Regan. The board passed Resolution: 2013–04, five to zero.

Resolution No. 2013–03: Adoption of Amended Proposed Budget FY2013

Mrs. Kischak moved to approve the resolution (2013–03) and was seconded by Mr. Ramondelli. The board passed Resolution: 2013–03, five to zero.

Executive Session (union negotiations)

Mr. Ramondelli motioned to go into executive session to discuss issues concerning the ongoing union negotiations and was seconded by Mrs. Kischak. The executive session was convened at 6:50 p.m.

Mr. Ramondelli motioned to go out of executive session and was seconded by Mrs. Kischak. No votes were taken during executive session. The regular session was reconvened at 7:12 p.m.

Conclusion

With no further business to be discussed, Mrs. Kischak moved that the meeting be adjourned and was seconded by Mr. Ramondelli. The meeting was adjourned at 7:15 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Retro Fitness Proposed Extension to Current License Agreement

Resolution No. 2013–14: Addendum to License Agreement between Yonkers Fitness LLC (d/b/a Retro Fitness of Yonkers) and the Yonkers Parking Authority (Buena Vista Garage Parking Facility) – October 02, 2009 to October 01, 2029

Mr. Eric Wolf, principal of 66 Main Street, Yonkers, New York, and as landlord to Yonkers Fitness LLC (d/b/a Retro Fitness of Yonkers, addressed the board on behalf of Retro Fitness concerning the proposed addendum to the current license agreement in effect between Yonkers Fitness LLC (d/b/a Retro Fitness of Yonkers) and the Yonkers Parking Authority due to expire in 2016. Retro Fitness has a membership of approximately three thousand (3,000) members who utilize the Buena Vista Garage.

The proposed amendment to the license agreement would be effective February 01, 2013 until October 01, 2029 and extend the members parking time from two hours to three hours in addition to the rate increase. According to Mr. Wolf, the reason for the proposed extension is based on the City of Yonkers rezoning of the area resulting in the Teutonia Hall development project being downscaled; whereby, it would not be able to accommodate parking for Retro Fitness. The franchise agreement requires that the Franchisee provide parking in conjunction with their lease of twenty (20) years, Retro Fitness would lose the franchise if they did not have the parking secured.

The board asked Mr. Wolf who has the responsibility for paying for the license agreement. Mr. Wolf answered that it was the responsibility of the Franchise; however, that it is backed by the principals of the building for as long as they (Retro Fitness) are in business. It was requested that

of 32 the proposed license agreement be reviewed by Corporation Counsel and be compared to the existing agreement since the original lease was drafted by the City of Yonkers law department. Yonkers Parking Authority Regular Board Meeting Minutes January 29, 2013

N.B. Mr. Kenneth McGovern arrived and Mr. Wolf left at 6:05 p.m.

Resolution No. 2013–05: Proposed Government Center Garage Daily Parking Rate Increase

Mr. Cavanaugh inquired if there was a deficit involved with the Government Center Garage. Mr. Regan noted that there were deficits in the past. Mr. Dalli stated that if the resolution did not pass that it would negatively impact the Authority.

Mr. Cavanaugh asked if the 1978 Master Agreement between the City of Yonkers and the Authority was still operative adding that it was not clear to him whether it was still in effect. Mr. Cavanaugh was informed that the 1979 amendment between the City of Yonkers and the Authority clearly indicated that the Authority receives the revenues from the Government Center Garage. Mr. Ramondelli inquired if raising the rates at the GCG a means of keeping the rates uniform. Mr. Dalli explained that the reason was twofold: firstly, to keep the rates uniform, secondly, as part of the adjustment to balance the budget. Mrs. Mrijaj asked if the resolution could be put on hold until other issues were discussed in the budget amendment. Mr. Ramondelli asked if the rate increase was for visitor parking or employee parking. Mr. Dalli responded that it was to increase the daily parking rate for visitors.

Resolution No. 2013–05 was put aside pending further deliberation.

Resolution No. 2013–06: Pier Street Reversion

The board reviewed Resolution: 2013–06 to revert the Pier Street property back to the City of Yonkers, at its request. Mrs. Kischak asked what was going to happen with the permit parkers parking in the adjacent lot. Mrs. Mrijaj responded that the reversion was solely for the building (Lot 1 and 4) adding that the parking facility was Lot 5 and not included.

Mr. Ramondelli moved to approve Resolution: 2013–06 and was seconded by Mr. Cavanaugh. The board passed Resolution: 2013–06, four to zero, Mr. Nigrello absent.

Resolution No. 2013–07: Renewal of Lease [No. VA243–12–L–0189] Agreement between the United States Department of Veterans Affairs for Veterans Clinic at Government Center Garage (October 01, 2012 – September 30, 2021)

The board considered Resolution: 2013–07 with Mr. Cavanaugh opining that the City Council should vote on the lease agreement. Mr. Dalli informed Mr. Cavanaugh that the lease agreement was simply a renewal. Mr. Cavanaugh said that another question he had was if the lease agreement contained a termination clause, to which Mr. Dalli responded in the affirmative.

Mr. Ramondelli moved to approve Resolution: 2013–07 and was seconded by Mrs. Kischak. The board passed Resolution: 2013–07, four to zero, Mr. Nigrello absent.

Resolution No. 2013–08: Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) Parking Permit Rate Adjustment at the Government Center Garage

The board looked at Resolution: 2013–08 concerning the Educational Opportunity Center’s (EOC) parking permit rate adjustment at the Government Center Garage. Mrs. Mrijaj noted that the EOC had historically perceived itself as a not–for–profit entity when in fact they had not met not–for–profit criteria. Mr. Dalli explained that the EOC had been granted a two (2) year grace period to provide proof of their not–for–profit status and had failed to do so. The board asked if the EOC was aware of the permit rate adjustment which they are, and how many parking spaces were involved and how long was the rate in effect. Mr. Dalli answered that the EOC utilizes ten to fifteen (10 – 15) parking spaces and the agreement is on a month to month basis. Mrs. Kischak noted that two years ago the board had reviewed all of the not–for–profit clients and recalls that the EOC had not qualified.

Mr. Cavanaugh moved to approve Resolution: 2013–08 and was seconded by Mrs. Kischak. The board passed Resolution: 2013–08, four to zero, Mr. Nigrello absent.

Resolution No. 2013–09: Telephone Audit

The board discussed the merits of Resolution: 2013–09 approving an audit of the Authority’s telephone bills. Mrs. Kischak asked when the last audit was performed. Mr. Dalli answered that an audit had been done approximately two (2) years ago adding that the contractor felt that in the transition from business to government account that they may be able to identify charges that were not captured in the prior audit.

Mr. Ramondelli moved to approve Resolution: 2013–09 and was seconded by Mrs. Kischak. The board passed Resolution: 2013–09, four to zero, Mr. Nigrello absent.

Resolution No. 2013–10: Renewal of Maintenance Agreement by and between the Yonkers Parking Authority & CTR Systems, Inc. (effective: 01 March 2011 – 31 December 2012)

Mr. Ramondelli moved to approve Resolution: 2013–10 and was seconded by Mr. Cavanaugh. The board passed Resolution 2013–10, four to zero, Mr. Nigrello absent.

Resolution No. 2013–11: Award Revocable License Agreement to TDA Construction Inc. for use of Chicken Island/Getty Square Parking Facility (February 01, 2013 – January 31, 2014)

The board reviewed Resolution: 2013–11. Mr. Cavanaugh asked if the Authority could cancel the contract. Mr. Dalli drew attention to cancellation clause number six (6) of the license agreement.

Mrs. Kischak moved to approve Resolution: 2013–11 and was seconded by Mr. Ramondelli. The board passed Resolution 2013–11, four to zero, Mr. Nigrello absent.

Resolution No. 2013–12: Award of Contract for Final Engineering Report (FER) Brownfield Site Investigation at 310 Saw Mill River Road

Mr. Ramondelli moved to approve Resolution: 2013–12 and was seconded by Mr. Cavanaugh. The board passed Resolution 2013–12, four to zero, Mr. Nigrello absent.

Resolution No. 2013–13: Amendments to Combined, Operating, and Capital, Yonkers Parking Authority and Buena Vista Garage Budgets for Fiscal Year 2013.

Discussion concerning Resolution: 2013–13; Mrs. Mrijaj explained the error that resulted in the amendments to the Combined, Operating, and Capital, Yonkers Parking Authority and Buena Vista Garage Budgets for Fiscal Year 2013 and clarified each point in the amended budgets.

The board asked for clarification of the thirty–five ($35.00) dollar issue concerning city employee parking. Mrs. Mrijaj explained that when the city car pool was created, over two decades ago, a reduced rate was established which the city paid for. The car pool permits were for city employees who took home city vehicles. However, when the current administration rescinded the take home vehicle policy the city employees who use the city cars began to also park their private vehicles within the garage; thereby, using two (2) parking spaces when only one space was paid for at the thirty–five ($35.00) dollar rate. Furthermore, the administration went a step further and extended the reduced rate of thirty–five ($35.00) dollars to all city employees if they signed up for payroll

of 32 deductions. The City of Yonkers does not have the authority to do so. This will result in an annual revenue loss upwards of twenty thousand ($20,000) dollars.

Resolution No. 2013–13: Amendments to Combined, Operating, and Capital, Yonkers Parking Authority and Buena Vista Garage Budgets for Fiscal Year 2013 cont.

With respect to the rate increase at the Government Center Garage, Chairman Regan added that the increase was also necessary to ensure the Authority’s ability to maintain a minimum of sixty thousand ($60,000) dollars in surplus to be in compliance with the Authority’s bond requirements.

Mrs. Kischak moved to approve Resolution: 2013–13 and was seconded by Mr. Ramondelli. The board passed Resolution 2013–13, three to zero, Mr. Cavanaugh voted nay; Mr. Nigrello absent.

City Employee Parking Rates

Mr. Cavanaugh asked Mr. Dalli if he had a separate set of books for the Government Center Garage as is required under the 1978 Agreement. Mr. Dalli answered that it was part of the YPA budget and separate allocations are reflected in the year end audit.

Mr. Dalli distributed a chart illustrating the negative impact on Authority revenues that the reduction of city employee parking permits from fifty ($50.00) dollars to thirty–five ($35.00) dollars and noted that if the matter was not resolved the negative impact would be doubled. Mr. Regan added he believed that there were currently twenty–seven (27) library employees whose parking permits were being paid for by the City and ten (10) employees whose parking permits were being paid for out of the Workforce Development Center’s budget; thirty–seven (37) employees in total whose parking permits are being paid for by the taxpayer. Mrs. Mrijaj asked for the Board’s direction regarding the check reflecting payment of city employee parking permits at thirty–five ($35.00) dollars rather than fifty ($50.00) dollars which had yet to be deposited. The majority of the board indicated that the check should be deposited and the city billed for the balances owed the Authority.

Mr. Cavanaugh recommended that the board sit down with the City to “work this out”. Mr. Cavanaugh made two recommendations: one that the Government Center Garage be divided into two parts: one for city employees and the other part for private visitors. Secondly, that the board looks at what the rate should be. Mr. Regan responded indicating that Mr. Cavanaugh would be the best person to take the initiative and set up a meeting with the City administration to determine what works. Mr. Nigrello (on telephone speaker) said that the board had met with the City and that things had gotten worse. Chairman Regan indicated that the meeting had focused on the Buena Vista Garage deficit and that the board had offered to reduce the deficit by fifty–six thousand ($56,000) dollars and had succeeded in reducing the deficit even further.

Resolution No. 2013–05: Proposed Government Center Garage Daily Parking Rate Increase

Mr. Ramondelli moved to approve Resolution: 2013–05 and was seconded by Mrs. Kischak. The board passed Resolution: 2013–05, three to one, Mr. Cavanaugh voted nay; Mr. Nigrello absent.

Yonkers Parking Authority Lawsuit versus the City of Yonkers

The board discussed the outstanding legal fees due to the Authority’s independent counsel which remains unresolved. The City said that they would release the check if the Authority persuaded the law firm to reduce its fee; which was done at twenty–five thousand ($25,000) dollars. The City of Yonkers still will not release the payments.

The matter was set aside.

Alco Capital Group v. ACC Business et al

Ms Maros Victoria briefed the board that a motion to dismiss the Alco case had been submitted to the Court and that a verdict was awaited.

Yonkers Larkin Inc. Garage

Mr. Brendan McGrath, Esq., First Deputy Corporation Counsel briefed the board concerning the Yonkers Larkin Garage noting that he had reviewed the documents sent him from Mrs. Mrijaj specifically correspondence dated January 18, 2012 and January 23, 2013 outlining the Authority’s concerns. Mr. McGrath informed the board that he spoke with Ms Shay Humphrey, counsel, for YLG. Mr. McGrath also acknowledged that the Yonkers Parking Authority’s concerns were valid. However, Mr. McGrath indicated that Ms Humphrey’s main concerns were the Management Agreement, the budget and to have the Garage open as soon as possible.

Mr. McGrath said that he believed that YLG were willing to negotiate and that it was possible to have a red line agreement and would schedule a conference call and or a meeting between them and the Authority.

Concerns regarding revenue shortfalls for the Yonkers Larkin Garage were raised and language should be included in the proposed Management Agreement as requested by the Authority.

of 32 Chairman Regan noted that Dan Marsh had stated at their first meeting that the City of Yonkers was responsible for the shortfall of the Yonkers Larkin Garage and needed to be clearly

Yonkers Larkin Inc. Garage cont. documented. It was agreed that the thirty (30) day termination clause in the Management Agreement needed to be changed.

Another question raised regarding the Management Agreement was about the YPA board’s oversight of the YLG. To which the response was that the Authority board had no jurisdiction over the Yonkers Larkin Garage as the City was not involved. Mrs. Mrijaj pointed out that the Community Development Agency (CDA) and the City are directly involved and identified as guarantors in documents for loans secured for the YLG.

Mrs. Mrijaj said that even though this had transpired, the Yonkers Parking Authority continues to do the work needed to prepare for the opening of the Garage. Mr. McGrath responded that he did not know what was hiding in the weeds but nothing was insurmountable. Mr. McGrath concluded his visit by indicating that he did not anticipate the matter extending itself another month.

Mr. Regan advised Mr. McGrath that the Board would be willing to schedule a special meeting to approve the Management Agreement, etc.

N.B. Mr. McGrath left at 7:45 p.m.

Mr. Cavanaugh’s fifth point regarding a modernization plan was discussed. Mr. Cavanaugh recommended the use of multi–space meters noting that everyone is using them. Mrs. Kischak said that while she was in favor of revisiting the issue she remembered the difficulties encountered when multi–space meters were tested in Yonkers. Mrs. Mrijaj indicated that the use of multi–space meters would be re–assessed.

Outstanding Invoices

Mr. Cavanaugh indicated that he had, had a discussion several weeks ago with the Mayor and Deputy Mayor concerning the following points:

 The Authority’s outstanding legal bill;  The proposed lease for the offices and shop contained within the Buena Vista Garage which the City feels should be at the market rate;  The city employee Government Center Garage (GCG) parking permit matter in which the parking permit payroll deduction program for city employees is deducting thirty–five ($35) dollars in lieu of the established cost of fifty ($50) dollars.

Discussion ensued concerning the points cited by Mr. Cavanaugh. Mr. Levy sought clarification of the city employee parking permit issue. Mrs. Mrijaj explained how the thirty–five ($35) dollar versus the fifty ($50) dollar fee had originated; a rate that had been set years ago. Mr. Regan noted that due to the permit fee alteration that the Authority was losing twenty–two thousand ($22,000) dollars annually.

Mr. Levy noted that city employees who drove city vehicles did not pay the parking permit fees in question. Mrs. Mrijaj responded that there was a list of those individuals that were paid for by

Outstanding Invoices continued the parking permit fees. Mr. Cavanaugh opened discussion on the proposed lease for the YPA offices. Mr. Cavanaugh still feels that there should be an appraisal done. Mr. Nigrello answered that as a taxpayer he appreciated the city’s position but that the Authority did not have the money. Mrs. Kischak asked about the outstanding invoices owed the Authority by the City and added that the board needed to make sure that the independent appraiser would be able to be paid because the Authority’s independent legal counsel didn’t get paid. Mr. Regan commented that the City had requested ninety–one thousand ($91,000) dollars for the space. The City’s proposed lease includes retroactive payments back to 2004. Mr. Cavanaugh responded that Veterans Affairs was paying approximately seventy thousand ($70,000) dollars for the space at the Government Center Garage. Mrs. Mrijaj noted that the Authority could not afford such rent at this time especially since the Authority did not get management of the Yonkers Larkin Garage. Mr. Regan suggested that the board wait to see what the Audit report would reveal.

Mr. Regan further suggested that the attorney’s fees be paid to get it off the table, and that the city show good faith by paying the outstanding invoices owed the Authority and then begin negotiations of a lease. Mr. Levy responded that he would take the proposal forward. Mr. Levy asked if the fee reduction was still viable. Mrs. Kischak responded that she didn’t know since the attorneys had submitted a demand letter for the entire amount of forty–three thousand ($43,000) dollars. Mrs. Mrijaj will contact the attorneys to find out.

Mr. Cavanaugh said that the bottom line was that the city wanted to see a deficit reduction and that the Authority needed to bring in more revenues. Chairman Regan said that more revenues for the Buena Vista Garage would come from additional parkers as a result of new development. Mrs. Mrijaj noted that the Authority had submitted two proposed areas where parking meters could be installed to the city’s Engineering department. Mr. McLynn noted that a parking survey was being conducted and that he wished to submit it in its entirety to the board rather than in piecemeal fashion.
