OLD TOWN PARKING/NEGOTIATIONS/COUNCIL-AGENCY AGREEMENT (05.49)
Mayor/Chairman Benjamin stated that this was the time and place duly noted to consider
report on negotiations regarding Old Town parking, provide direction to staff as appropriate
and set March 17, 1997 for Agency/Council consideration of an agreement.
The following people from the audience spoke to this issue:
Maggie Creighton, representing the Residents and Merchants Committee for New
Parking, thanked the staff and Town for the efforts put forth to help the committee with their
goal of obtaining the 105 spaces in the Old Town parking lot. She reaffirmed the ability to
collect on the pledges that have been received for the parking lot. She assured Council that
the funds would come in but the collection of the last 20,000 might take a little longer.
Michael Petteruti, Corinthian International Parking Company, 19925 Stevens Creek
Blvd., Suite 126, Cupertino. Spoke of his company's garage management, valet parking,
traffic control, employee parking program, and submitted information concerning this
company for the record. He noted that while the parking structure was under construction
and the current parking spaces were unusable, his company could assist in juggling the
remaining parking spaces in a creative manner.
Bill Bacci, 216 N. Santa Cruz, noted that he stood behind his pledge and felt that most
people who are in business in Town would stand behind their commitments. He
appreciated everyone's efforts on this project.
Bobbie Kramer, East Los Gatos resident, spoke of the average citizen's input.
Rex Morton, Parking Commission Chair, spoke of having representatives from all
segments of the community for the continuation of the parking committee in a Downtown
Parking Strategic Planning Advisory Group and represented on the Parking Commission.
He felt that the $100,000 commitment could easily be exceeded by the Committee for
Parking.
Ed Storm, Old Town owner, committed himself and staff to working on this agreement
immediately, and noted that it is their goal to have plans and contract drawn up by March
17th. He asked that the commitment of the $100,000 be written up in the contract also so
that the Storm-Hunter team is assured of an agreement before they move forward on the
plans. They are proceeding in this direction and spending money and they would like a
hard contract to the effect that the Committee and Town will follow through.
No one else from the audience addressed this issue.
Motion by Mrs. Benjamin, seconded by Mr. Hutchins, that staff continue to move
forward on the negotiations regarding Old Town Parking, and set March 17, 1997 as the
date certain for Agency/Council consideration of an agreement. That agreement will reflect
the course of action outlined in this agenda's staff report. Carried unanimously.
