McNear Building Owner Participation Project - Bid Opening Report Staff
member John Scharer reviewed his February 11 memo to the Executive Director
outlining the McNear Building Owner Participation Project. He identified the
four phases of the project, the costs of those phases, the approved changes
from the original plan, particularly to the Petaluma Boulevard landscaping,
and the funding available for the project. He advised the Commission the
funds for this project are not from the off-street parking funds, but rather
are from the tax increment funds for the redevelopment commission. He also
advised the Commission this type of project cannot be a force account project.
Executive Director Meyer recalled that the Project Area Committee had looked
at the revised plans and recommended the Commission go ahead with the project.

Mahoney Parking Lot Agreement - Status Report John Scharer reviewed the
changes to the agreement that staff and Mr. Mahoney had agreed to earlier in
the day. The lot's drainage problem has been resolved by lining an old 6 inch
pipe with 5 inch plastic lining, thereby eliminating the need to bore under
the railroad tracks for drainage to the River. He advised the Commission that
Mr. Mahoney contemplates a $20.00 per month charge for parking stalls. These
permits would be valid from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on all days except Thursday,
when they would be valid from 7:00 a.m. through 9:30 p.m. to accommodate
Thursday night retail shoppers' hours. Mr. Mahoney stated he wanted to use
the lot after those valid permit hours for rental as additional income for the
property.

on the second Monday and to schedule an agenda item to discuss these matters.
