Mr. Sahar reviewed the effects of the property closing held on this date.  The Board noted that the proceeds from closing increased the Authority’s reserves closer to the level where the Authority would have a six month revenue reserve. 

 

It was noted that the bird screening was complete in the North Garage.  Mr. Frioni suggested that a contractor be brought in to clean the lower level after the entire project was complete.  Mr. Sahar stated that several other steps, including cleaning would need to be completed before the project was considered finished.

 

Mr. Sahar reported on the monthly Business and Professional Association (BPA) meeting.  The BPA President stated during that meeting the Authority’s changes to the validation system was not what the BPA had requested.  The Board noted that the changes to the system were made after considering the request of the BPA and fitting them into the overall parking fee system.

 

Mr. Frioni inquired as to the status of accepting credit cards at the garages.  Mr. Sahar and Mr. Quealy reported they had been in contact with the provider and would be working to implement this system.
