As you may know Hoffman CPA is relocating their office from the Edgewater Complex to a larger space in the Beacon Center (formerly occupied by the Elks Lodge). Mr. Hoffman questioned whether the City would consider some kind of paid, reserved parking space program similar to what we have in the former Acacia lot. Given the impact to downtown businesses and parking, I thought it was important to get the input of the DDA Board before passing this request along to the City Council. There is no defined plan and I would suggest the Board consider the following:

• whether it makes sense to have paid, reserved spaces
• if there should be other spaces in other lots
• how a program like this should be structured (permits, time-limited, etc)
• other factors deemed relevant

Chief Doan believes this is possible but he and I both would like more direction from you before creating a plan for it.
