ATTACHMENT 1
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1) Rationing of limited parking available without negatively impacting downtown businesses. I think the
commission needs to hear from business owners who are primarily impacted by any changes in status quo.
2) Downtown employee parking. Incentivize (or disincentivize)business employees to park outside of the
commercial area or in parking decks. Create more off-street parking opportunities.
3) Rationing parking. Create more shorter-term spaces in front of businesses.
Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board
or commission:
Upon application for and acceptance of appointment, board and commission members demonstrate their intention and
ability to attend meetings. If appointed, frequent nonattendance may result in termination of the appointment.
