PUBLIC HEARINGS Public Hearing Comments are limited to 5 minutes per person.

A. Matter of Proposed Adjustments to User Fees, Fiscal Year 2001-2002. This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, Mike White, Interim Finance Director, gave a short presentation on the proposed adjustments and recommended that the City Council approve them. The Hearing was then opened to the public. Tom Guarino, Chamber of Commerce, addressed the City Council indicating that the Chamber has consensus on the increases proposed. Their understanding was that this would be tied-in with the conversion of some new parking spaces at Longs and that the increases would be implemented when the new spaces were created. He indicated this would result in more revenue for the City and more parking opportunities for the businesses. He asked for clarification from the City Manager. There being no further comments from the public, and without opposition, the Public Hearing was closed. The City Manager commented that a change in the configuration of downtown parking has already been implemented. There are now spaces available in the Longs parking lot that have been converted to permit parking to allow the overflow from the parking structure and that the total number of spaces available has been increased. Notwithstanding that, the revenues that have been described in the presentation are necessary to support the costs of maintaining the garage.
