5) Consideration of Changes to Validation System.
The Board reviewed the original June 2007 validation system proposal from the Washington Road Business and Professional Association along with information prepared by the staff concerning the validation system. The Board indicated once again the existing validation system already allows for a significant discount over the regular hourly rates in the garages. Mr. Sahar reviewed a modified subscription system where the discount varies according to usage. The Board, on a 3-1 vote with Mr. Frioni voting in the negative, agreed to add the modified subscription system, on a 12 month trial basis, to the current validation offerings. The Board indicated that it would review the impact of the new system during the coming year and would make modifications as necessary to the program and/or parking rates. The Board also set a minimum participation level of 15 businesses during the first 6 months of the program.
