While the expansion of the metered parking areas was also discussed the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the removal of the parking meters and the use of the Silver Street Parking Lot for Town Employee purposes. The conclupion arrived at was that the meters should not be removed because the lot was being used by shoppers. Mr. Strike indicated that he would raise the question at the next B.I.A. Board of Management Meeting and advise the Town of any decision reached. By letter dated June 15, 1988, we were advised that the B.I.A. had passed the following resolution; "THAT the Town Administration be advised that the Bowmanville Business Centre has no objection to Town employees using the merchants' lot on Silver Street, on a temporary basis, for a six-month period, pending Council resolving the long-term problem of Staff parking in the Downtown area." Based upon the contents of the resolution the B.I.A. have indicated agreement with the use of the subject lot by Town staff,' but have also suggested I that a long-term solution be sought which does not take the Silver Street Parking Lot out of service on a permanent basis. By letter also dated June 15, 1988, the B.I.A. have requested that the municipality move to purchase the Silver Street Parking Lot. Since acquisition has been the Town's intention, the purchase should be pursued with the owner during 1989.

The conclusions reached in discussion with staff indicate that the parking lot on the east side of the Fire Building continue to be used for employee parking and that the westerly half of the west parking lot be used for additional employee parking. In addition, it will be necessary to use the Silver Street public parking lot for the above purposes and therefore, it is respectfully recommended that this parking area. converted to employee parking and that at the appropriate time, the par'� .rg meters in the Silver Street lot b� removed. I Report CD-21-88 - 2 - May 16, 1988 The review of the parking requirements indicates that approximately 80 to 90 spaces will be required. The parking areas referred to in this report appear to be sufficient to meet the Town's parking requirements for the above-mentioned purposes. Furthermore, if additional spaces are required, the Bowmanville Arena site could be used for parking purposes until such time as the future of that property is determined.
