Jackson Faustman in city hall, This was the first meeting of the committee and city officials since the presentation of Faustman's downtown parking plan and the first time the committee and council members had an Opportunity to question the consultant on the proposed program. In brief, the Faustman report calls for creation of two lots on Spring Street on either side of . Pine and one on Commercial Street between Pine and York. The proposed lots would create 126 parking spaces at an estimated cost of $182,600. Faustman told the group that this plan was far below the city's long term parking needs of 550 to 600 additional spaces, but he said he thought the plan probably pushed to the edge of what could reasonably be expected to be financed at this time.

February 10, 1966 Faustman said he felt the primary need was for downtown parking and it was the city responsibility to take care of the business establishment. He said while the county did have a responsibility in the total parking picture, the county role was outside of the scope of this primary job of helping the Broad Street complex, Committee chairman Willard Rose said the committee would naturally like the cooperation of the county government because the courthouse was a part of life in Nevada City. But, he added, it can cause parking congestion. He noted it was felt that the first job of the committee was to determine the cost of three lots so that parking could be spread out to the advantage of all the merchants, Dick Knee asked what would become of the all day parkers who presently use the areas now being considered for new lots, Faustman replied that the life of the central business district depends on the people who come to buy, If a parking space normally used by oneall day parker can be used six or seven times, itis that much better for business, The close in spaces must be used for turnover parking. City Councilman.Bob Paine said he agreed with Clinch that the county has a responsibility to take care of some of the parking problems it creates, He suggested that the county might put some all day lots for its employees on the fringes of the area. While having the courthouse in Nevada City is good for the city; he noted it does create parking problems and as more and more of the county offices are returned from all over both cities to a central location at the courthouse, this problem will increase tremendously, Paine also raised the question of the availability of the property now occupied by the Tahoe National Forest maintenance shop on Commercial Street. Councilwoman Carole Friedrich said she thought this land should be considered as a part of the current plan, Faustman said the only reason he did not consider this was that he thought solving the problem of the central district was enough of a problem without going into the county role,— Paine maintain both tied together, Faustman said he could wait until the report had been digested be the committee or could push ahead on discussions with the that they were i a City Ask Thecounty. j Knee said he agreed the city and county were tied together on the parking problem and felt there should be no delay in contacting the county. The central district project could go ahead at the same time, Rose asked for a concensus of the committee and the following three actions were approved: 1) that an informal meeting with two members of the county board of supervisors should be set up; 2) that Faustman should check on the legality and procedures to seeif itis possible for the city and county to enter into some sort of cooperative agreement on parking development; and 3) that a determination should be made on when the Forest Service land on Commercial Street might be-~ come available, Faustman said it would take 30 days to make the procedural study, but he would return sooner if the committee wanted to meet and discuss the parking picture at a regular council meeting.
