PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

Rebecca Viall She would like a record ofher concerns: their home is adjacent to property that is functioning as a church. There is not adequate parking for them. The street is always full. When they are having church that is understandable; however, they need to have assigned parking space in the joint city/county parking garage at the comer of Lincoln and Church.

They have spoken with the pastor of the church; they have spoken with police officers and more recently Mayor Eckert and Alderwoman Stiehl.

Mayor Eckert advised the church has been there for many years and there has never been an issue. Mayor Eckert advised only 1/ 3 ofthe garage is rented. This will be addressed.

Lisa Bates She went into the garage at Lincoln/Church.and took pictures because there has been an ongoing issue with the garage. She leased three spaces and gave it up because there was always someone in her spots.

While taking pictures there were altercations with a car exiting the parking lot and church parishioners. The police arrived and advised her she should not have been in the garage taking pictures.

Jim Morris He rents a parking space in the garage for the last five years. He placed orange cones where his space is and five days later the cone were missing.

Jim Cervs He owns property across the street from the church. This problem has been ongoing since this church moved in and the one before. The curbs are not adequately marked but the City has since marked the curbs. They were given orange cones to mark their parking spaces, so no one parked in rented spaces.

Mayor Eckert advised this issue will be resolved.

Will Viall Alderwoman Stiehl has been wonderful regarding the issues with the church. Before the current owner ofthe church bought it, he was out looking at the church, so he spoke with him regarding parking spaces advising him he had four parking spaces. His solution is to replace the automatic gate to the garage. There are young families in the neighborhood.
