Parking Mayor Pro Tem Wormser left the Chambers during this
discussion due to a passible conflict of interest. A bid
report was presented at the June 6, 1989, meeting
regarding the parking structure proposed on Redlands
Boulevard between Sixth and Seventh Streets. This matter
was continued from the dune 20, 1989, meeting to this
meeting to allow the newly-formed Parking Advisory Board
to study this matter and to also allow additional time
for the downtown property owners to provide financial
s assistance. City Engineer Ron Mutter reported that the
Parking Advisory Beard recommended that the Council award
the contract for the construction of the parking
structure pending the success of the effort to secure the
necessary funding. Mr. Mutter said a parking assessment
district concept will be reviewed by the Parking Advisory
Board in the future. He also reported that letters have
been received from a number of property owners pledging
funds for the project, and that Art Gregory has pledged
to pay the difference. The Business Improvement District
has pledged $10,000, and Gary Stemann and Ren Ring, the
project designers, have indicated that there will be no
fee involved in reviewing shop drawings and interpreting

plans as required. Redlands Federal Savings and Loan has
offered an unsecured loan not to exceed $150,000 for the
project but funds still need to be acquired to repay the
loan. Mr. Mutter noted once source of revenue would be
to increase the monthly charge for parking in the various
municipal lots to cover the debt service payments for
this loan as well as the Certificate of Participation.
Gene Malone urged Council to allow this project to
proceed. Art Gregory questioned the figures presented by
the City Engineer for the monthly parking charge. At
this point, Council recessed at 8: 40 P.M. and reconvened
at 8:55 P.M. when Mayor Beswick announced that this
matter would be continued to the end of the meeting
allowing the interested parties to continue their
discussions with staff in the lobby. Later in the
evening, Mr. Mutter reported they had reevaluated the
figures and reported that the monthly charge could be set
at $35.19 to accomodate this project. Councilmember
Larson moved to accept the low bid and proceed with the
project subject to the proposed funding methods with the
space rentals not to exceed $40 .00 per month. The motion
was seconded by Councilmember Beswick and failed by the
following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Beswick and Larson
NOES: Councilmembers DeMirjyn and Cunningham
