<br /> ji with prisoners. An alternate would add a l6-foot high block wall. extending north

<br /> and Lane County proposes that it be shared evenly by the City and, the County.' Land
<br /> upon which the addition will be constructed is owned by the County and 'will not be
<br /> included as part of the ,County's share. The Police Department" approved the plan.
<br /> I It is expected the proposed addition will resolve the -jail needs for a five-year' period.
<br /> Council members discussed the proposed plan touching on capacity, detention rooms,
<br /> space for doctors' visits, type of construction, financing, etc. The City Manager
<br /> said funds were not provided in this year's budget'but the County is willing to carry
<br /> it into the next budget year or there may be balances available at the end of'this
<br /> budget year.
<br /> Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to approve the plan and participate with the
<br /> County in financing the construction.
<br /> Councilwoman Lauris suggested that a stock of street clothes .be kept available for .
<br /> prisoners to wear when making court appearances so they would not have to appear in
<br /> the usual prison garb of white coveralls. Councilman McDonald said there is no
<br /> doubt St. Vincent de Paul,would provide clothing for the prisoners to wear and keep
<br /> upon release. The City Manager suggested that a 'determination be made of the numbers
<br /> of people and time involved from' an operational standpoint with the idea that a
<br /> different type of 'uniform might be provided, such as shirts and pants rather than .
<br /> the white coveralls.
<br /> Councilwoman Hayward asked if a tour of the jail could be arranged for those Counil ft.
<br /> members who have not yet seen its operation, and it was agreed a tour would be arranged.
<br /> A vote was taken on the motion as stated, and motion carried.
<br /> Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mr. Lassen to approve Item 3 of the Committee report. Rollcall vote.
<br /> All councilmen present voting aye, motion carried.
<br /> 1 4. Off-Street Parking, Broadway and Charnelton Lot - Bids were called for operation of
<br /> the Broadway and Charnelton parking lot on a management basis. Only one bid was .
<br /> received - Diamond Parking, Inc. , of Seattle'. They guarantee the City $18,000 an-
<br /> nually. For its management fee, Diamond will receive 16% of the first $2000 monthly '-
<br /> gross parking income, 12% of monthly gross parking income more than $2000. The ini-
<br /> =
<br /> tial rates proposed are 25~ for the first. two hours, 50~ for two to four hours,
<br /> maximum 75~, evenings' 25~, monthly $15.00, subject to Council review and approval of
<br /> any changes. The lot will 'fit into the downtown validat ion program, with Diamond pro- ~.
<br /> viding the necessary superivsion and maintenance. The City Manager recomm~nded de-
<br /> velopment oe a contract with a60-day cancellation clause, based on the proposal out"-
<br /> lined. He said last year's income from the lot was $16,500.
<br /> Councilman McDonald asked about the rate structure compared to on-street parking and
<br /> commitments. ,to pay for the lot on the basis of 5~ and 10~ off-street parking. The
<br /> Manager explained that this lot was not an assessment district lot so no commitments
<br /> have been made. Further discussion took place with regard to maintenance of plant- ~'
<br /> ings, policing, rate structure, use of other parking lots now in the validation plan, etc.
<br /> Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to proceed with development of a contract with
<br /> Diaroond as bid. Motion carried, 'Councilmen McDonald and Wingard voti~g no."
<br /> Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mr. Lassen to approve Item 4 of theCommittee report.
<br /> CouncilmanWingard said he felt this item should be reconsidered should there be complaints from .
<br /> neighboring property owners. The Manager said it appears owners of adjacent properties are anxious
<br /> to participate in the validation program which will be in effect when Diamond assumes operation of
<br /> the lot.
<br /> Councilman 'McDonald expressed concern that, although the Broadway and Charnelton lot is not part of an
<br /> assessment district, the lot was purchased 'for operation by the City for'off~street parking, and the
<br /> contract with Diamond would appear to be tantamount to the City's setting up a private business and
<br /> increasing the ,on-street parking rates. The City Manager said this particular purchase was not made
<br /> at the instigation of nor'in co-operation'with owners of adjoining businesses or properties, that
<br /> the opportunity was presented to acquire. the property under very favorable circumstances' and no pre-
<br /> conceived commitments were made.
<br /> A rollcall vote was taken on the motion as stated, and motion carried, all councilmen present voting .
<br /> " aye.

<br /> velopers for multifamily housing to finance purchase of the property. It was under-
