Discuss/Approve/Deny Professional Services Agreement with Greenspace Landscaping Inc. for snow removal services at the Bridger Park Downtown Garage. (See Attachment Exhibit 2) The Parking Services Division contracts for the removal of snow and the application of ice melt on the roof level of the Bridger Park Downtown Garage. Due to physical limitations accessing the roof level, this service requires specialized equipment, and for this reason, Greenspace Landscaping has been determined a sole source provider. They only come in to plow when called and snow is of a particular depth. Commissioner Bryan made a motion to approve the Professional Services Agreement with Greenspace Landscaping. This was seconded by Commissioner Wiseman and approved unanimously.

Parking Manager Report. (See Attachment Exhibit 3) The hiring process has begun to hire two new parking enforcement officers. Currently the enforcement staff is at 50% of authorized employees. Final negotiations are in place with the contract for T2 software, services, and equipment for the parking division. The process is on-going with final signature expected by mid-October. Fire extinguisher cabinets are finished and installed in the parking garage. The cameras for the parking garage should be done by the end of October. There was an open records request for 10 years of citation data, however it was changed to 3 years as that was what Duncan could supply. The request included, date, time, violation, description, and fee. Western Transportation Institute (WTI) did a parking study in September. Ed is reviewing the draft and should have the final version completed and sent out by the November meeting. The North Willson lot is finished and now being enforced. We will be adding two more additional spaces in the near future. G. New Business Public Comment: Tenzin Phuntsog-701 S 14th Ave. Tenzin submitted a request to expand the MSU district on Alderson between 14th and 15th Ave. Ed will gather data including a clear map and bring it back to the Parking Commission for a recommendation and vote. The process on how a residential district can be changed or added is unclear and needs to be revised before any changes to a district can take place. Parking Lease Agreements will be brought back to the November meeting to be reviewed. A redraft of the Municipal Code changes will be brought back to the Parking Commission then sent to legal to work on a final draft. Ed is going to research adding the parking garage roof improvement to the long term plan. H. Adjournment. 08:29:11 AM The next Bozeman Parking Commission meeting will be held November 9th, 2017 at 7:30am at City Hall. Bozeman Parking Commission meetings are open to all members of the public.
