5. DEFERRED BUSINESS
A. RESULTS OF PILOT SPEED HUMP PROGRAM
Staff provided the committee with a report of the results. In general, the results were
mixed. There was a motion to accept the report, with Councilmember Rowles
dissenting.
6. NEW BUSINESS
A. VEHICLE TRIP REDUCTION INCENTIVES
Councilmember Rowles has been working with staff to find a way to reward large
employers with offices along Truxtun Extension with incentives for meeting trip reduction
goals. One suggestion was to reduce the requirement for parking for those companies
who encourage carpooling and meet their goals. Currently, companies must request a
modification from the Board of Zoning Adjustment to reduce parking requirements. The
Committee asked staff to draft a proposal and ultimately an ordinance to address some
adjustment based on the new air quality standards. A mechanism that monitors the
successful attainment of established goals would need to be established.
B. ADA RETROFIT OF COUNCIL CHAMBER
Staff provided the Committee with a listing of proposed renovations to the Council
Chamber. Some are proposed to comply with the ADA, others are not as critical, but
were proposed based on construction and economies of scale. The listing was divided
into three priorities: Priority #1 to concentrate solely on ADA improvements; Priority #2
to implement ADA improvements and other amenities; and Priority #3 for total renovation
of the Chamber and ancillary facilities. The Committee asked staff to further define the
highest priority items and provide a recommendation to the full Council.
