Mr.
Hurd made a motion to approve the Amendment to the
Agreement with Mt. Lebanon. Mr. Senko seconded the motion. Discussion followed. Mr. Musuneggi
expressed concern about how the Parking Authority can continue to operate with
the loss of these revenues while continuing to incur the expense of the
processing. He also stated that years
ago the Municipality decided to assist the commercial business district by
helping to defray parking costs by granting the fine income from police issued
tickets to the Parking Authority. That
income continues to be used to help pay the debt on the two garages and the
Academy Lot. Mr. Brumfield stated that
he feels that it is reasonable for the Parking Authority to keep 20-25% of the
collected police ticket revenue to help defray the cost of processing instead
of imposing a temporary rate hike to get through the transition.
Mr. Senko made a motion to amend
paragraph 2 of the Amendment to Agreement to reflect that 25% of the collected
Revenue be maintained by the Parking Authority for processing costs. Mr. Hurd seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.

Hurd stated that there is still a revenue

made a motion to adjourn the meeting.
Mr. Hurd seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:24pm.
