There was no objection and the minutes were approved. I. RESOLUTIONS: Resolution No. 194-19 - Authorizing approval of the FY 2019-2020 Parking System Budget as indicated on the attached list of accounts. Be it Resolved by the Council of the City of Charleston, West Virginia: That the FY 2019-2020 Parking System Budget as indicated on the attached list of accounts is hereby approved. Councilmember Jenkins added that the Parking budget is separate from the General budget. Jonathan Storage added that it is separate because it is considered and “enterprising department.” The proposed budget is operating from a surplus of approximately $900,000.000, which will be dedicated to the Parking Maintenance Fund to be used for major repair and maintenance needs as they arise. Counting the surplus, the Parking System’s’ revenues are estimated to be $2.85 million. Recent projects paid from the Parking Maintenance Fund Page | 2 of include: system-wide cameras, painting Garage No. 2, concrete rehab in all buildings and structural engineering assessments. The revenue for the Parking System is projected approximately 2% less than from FY2019, but closely in line with FY2018’s actual collections. The main reduction in the building revenue can be attributed to the reduction in the monthly rate for Building No. 2. Expenses are largely in line with the current year; telephone, training and travel were reduced to realign with actual expenditures. The proposed budget accounts for the purchase of a new garage sweeper. City Treasurer, Vic Grigoraci, stated he believed the garages needed some upgrades and cleaning, and was wanting to know if that was factored into the proposed budget. Jonathan Storage responded the administration has been working to improve the status of the parking garages, including installing security cameras, improving lighting by converting to LEDs, improving the conditions of the walls and vibrant signage and power washing. He also noted that the future planned purchase of a garage sweeper will significantly improve the overall cleanliness of the garages. Councilmember Reishman moved to approve the Resolution. With a majority of members elected recorded thereon as voting in the affirmative Chairperson Jenkins declared Resolution No. 194-19 approved. Councilmember Reishman motioned to adjourn the meeting.
