The meeting was called to order by the Mayor at 5:30 p.m. 1. DOWNTOWN COMMISSION PARKING PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS Mayor Obie introduced Mr. Farkas~ who distributed a memorandum dated June 9, 1986, entitled "Downtown Commission Parking Program Recommendations." e Attached was a packet of information entitled "Downtown Parking Program-- Financial Background for Fiscal Year 1987, prepared by the Eugene Development Department. II Mr. Farkas defined the ultimate objective of the recommendations as provision for financial stability of the parking program and allowance for current and future parking needs. The program does not have resources to build a new parking structure if 8th and Wi11amette is developed. Mr. Byrne explained that the Downtown Parking Program is much more than a free parking program. It includes four City-owned parking garages as well as surface lots all designated as development sites. The free parking program is only a small part of the total. The Parking Fund in the budget is com- posed of several different funds. These are enterprise funds which operate on their own revenues with the exception of the debt services, and each is responsible for providing several or all of the primary functions listed on the chart. Each fund differs in the type of facility and the functions engaged in. Mr. Byrne outlined three purposes for the presentation: 1) refamiliarization with the information; 2) to raise the council's con- fidence level in the numbers provided; and 3) to present the recommendations of the Downtown Commission. By presenting the detail on Enterprise Fund 529 (Surface Lots) and Enterprise Fund 522 (Parcade Garage), Mr. Byrne hoped to explain the least and most complex management issues to the council. Mr. Luell referred the council to Enterprise Fund 529 (Surface Lots) and reviewed the Fund Resources and Requirements and Department Expenditure e Surrma ry . He responded to Mr. Hansen's question by saying that all meters accounted in the attached revenue are within the Downtown Development Di stri ct.
