Maple Street requests a 2 hour parking in front of his businmss. They
own property from the corner of Meigs Avenue and Maple Streets to the
alley going West~ going East we own the house on that property. There
is a boat that is parked in front of the business that has been there
for eeveral months, also they park cars there for as long as a day,
week, or a month, the vehicles and boat belong to one residence.
Mayor Parker asked Mr. Barnes if he has talked with the resident and
he said that he has not. City Attorney Mike Gillenwater stated that
the our Ordinance that specifys limited time parking area allows this
board to designate certain areas with limited time parking through the
hours of 9:00AM to 5:00PM, Monday thru Friday. If the Board desires,
they could today or after you get a report from Police Chief Elliott
on the situation could vote to have that section of the street, one
side or the other or both sides what ever you prefer to be limited
parking. Assistant Police Chief Elder reported that the house in
question belongs to Jack Vedok he has parking in front of his home and
he also has a driveway that runs to the back of his property.

parking for this business. Mayor Parker requests that this is
investigated before we ok it and report back on Monday. Mr. Barnes
also stated that if the City installs the signs that his Businese will
pay for them. Mayor Parker said that we will definately document

STREET LIGHT
A resident who owns property at 415 W. Market Street called Director
Lakeman requesting a street light to be put in the alley that runs
along the flood wall. There is an apartment above the garage at the
rear of the alley where the street light is needed. Director Lakeman
did not know the policy on putting lights in alleys. Mayor Parker
wanted to know if anyone had any knowledge on lights in alleys. He
thinks that we should draw a line on alley lights, when in the future
streets will need lights. Commissioner Gavin said that they need to
contact the property owner and see if they will put up a security
light for them. Mayor Parker requested that Director Lakeman take
care of this.
HOPKINS LANE PROBLEM

anything from Jacobi~ Toombs and Lanz about the problem on Hopkins
Lane. Commissioner Gavin said that he is having a meeting with Mr.
Lanz at ll:30AM today and will check with him. Utilitys Director
Steve Tolliver talked with Mr. Lanz last Friday and he mentioned that
subject and reported there is some problems and he has a
recommendation.
