NEW BUSINESS
1. Approval of 18th and Eye Street Parking Structure as
a Redevelopment project.
a) Upon request of Chairman Lewis, the Secretary read
a memorandum from the Special Committee regarding plans and
specifications for the proposed parking structure at 18th and
Eye Streets.
Mr. Kelmar stated that the report from Katz, Hollis, Coren
& Associates was incorrect. The consultants reviewed various
alternative sizes for the garage, and prepared three scenarios,
one for a structure of 276 parking spaces, another being 359
spaces, and a third of 510 parking spaces. He stated that the
deficit that would be incurred by the 510 space structure is
way beyond what the City considers reasonable at this time. The
economics of the 276 and 359 parking space alternatives are within
reason, based upon the report that was prepared by QUAD Consul-
tants, as far as the benefits that would result from the
additional parking. Mr. Kelmar suggested that the Agency approve
the recommendations, and go out to bid for the 510 space
structure as well as the other alternatives, and when bids are
received then a determination can be made as to the size structure
that should be built.
Mr. Lewis questioned whether the 510 is a good projection
of future needs.
Mr. Kelmar stated that the City doesn't have a public parking
structure to provide experience for this project.
Mr. Kelmar suggested that the Agency go ahead with the
action, with a determination not to be made at this point as
the size of the garage until the actual bids come in.
to
Mr. Moore made a motion that the Agency amend the memorandum
received from the Special Committee of the Agency regarding,
The approval of the 18th and Eye Street Parking Structure as a
Redevelopment Project, with the recommendations of the Executive
Director Incorporated, that we will go on bid on the three
scenarios 276, 359 and 510 parking space structure and then make
a decision at a later time as to which one would economically
benefit the City.
Mr. Lewis questioned the change in the cost factor.
Mr. Kelmar stated that the projections include a ten-year
projection assuming 8 percent inflation increase in both
revenue and cost.
Mr. Bilas seconded the motion.

b) Mr. Alex Magana from Conrad Associates was present and
gave a report regarding the parking structure design and manage-
ment. He also stated thaf after making the preliminary studies
as to the cost of the construction, it was determined that the
structure over the adjoining property would be inappropriate
because of cost.
Mr. Richardson questioned the height in comparison to the
other buildings.
Mr. Magana stated that the 510 space building is six stories,
and each story is ten feet in height. The building to the east
is three stories and the building to the west is three stories
higher than the proposed parking structure. Each level will
hold approximately 78 cars.
Mr. Mooneyham made a motion to adopt Resolution No. RA10-82
making certain findings in relation to the construction of a
public parking facility in the downtown Redevelopment project,
and adopt the negative declaration finding that no significant
environmental impact would occur as a result of this project.

2. Approval of Sill Properties, Inc. as operators of the
parking lot.
Mr. Kelmar indicated that there have been discussions with
the Sills, and that they have agreed to operate the parking
lot until the parking structure was started. They are asking
for approximately $250 a month which is about 10 percent of the
revenues of the present lot. Public Works Department has
evaluated as to what it would cost to take over the building
function and hand out cards and have indicated a cost savings
by allowing the Sills to operate the parking lot.
Mr. Lewis questioned how many parking spaces are available.
Mr. Kelmar stated eighty-five spaces are now available.
Mr. Richardson made a motion to allow Sill Properties, Inc.
to function as managers of the existing parking lot at 18th and
