To Extend the Meeting to 11:30 p.m. <br />Ayes - 4 Nays -1(Stigney) <br />Motion carried. <br />G. Resolution 7360, Amending Resolution 7307 in Regard to Parking Along <br />Hillview Road and Greenwood Drive as Reconstructed Under the 2009-2010 <br />Street and Utility Improvement Project. <br />Joe Rhein, Bonestroo, provided information on parking along Hillview Road and Greenwood <br />Drive as part of the 2009 - 2010 Street and Utility Improvement Project. <br />Mr.Rhein noted that angled parking is to be constructed along Hillview Road. <br />John Kroeger said that last week the Streets and Utilities Committee had restated its position and <br />they remain with their initial position. They also discussed this with the Forester and asked for a <br />walk through to discuss impacts to trees. <br />Cindy Palm spoke to the cost of the project noting that there are 15 parallel stalls, removing 9 <br />stalls to add 14 angled stalls that makes 20 stalls with one additional stall for handicapped <br />parking. She then said that at $30,000 that is $10,000 per stall to add two more stalls to the north <br />side of Hillview and that does not make any sense. The City could open up Hillview to allow <br />parking on both sides. <br />Council Member Mueller said that she is concerned that the park is stagnant and she is <br />wondering if it was a waste of money to upgrade the building. She then said she has received <br />calls about this issue. <br />Council Member Mueller indicated that park usage is projected to increase and she is in favor of <br />the short option. <br />Council Member Hull asked whether it is true that the building is not being rented due to parking <br />issues. Clerk Administrator Ericson said that it maybe true of some users but he is not sure that <br />it is measurable. <br />
