There will be an annual pump test soon that will identify any problems that may exist. Maintenance is in the process of replacing the glass bock that was damaged due to vandalism, in the South Garage elevator lobbies. Normal maintenance continues. We should have an outline for summer projects for the May meeting. Work will be done over Memorial Day weekend to repair concrete at the entrance to the South Garage where the bridge transitions into the street way.

Mr. Gatto made a motion to accept the Rich & Associates parking proposal in the amount of $16,965.00 for the performance of the parking study and analysis to be completed by September 2010. Mr. Musuneggi seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
