A quorum (3 or more) present the following action was taken by
the committee:
On November 29th Don wrote a letter to Kent Harris, President
of the Laurel Chamber of Commerce, requesting comments or
recommendations for handicap parking in the business district.
Alan Crowe had contacted the county and currently there are
2,043 handicap license plates in Yellowstone County. The
DMV has no way of knowing how many are actually in Laurel, but
they estimated about 10%.
Don had checked with a few other cities regarding on-street
handicap parking, and reported that Forsyth, Helena, Great
Falls, and Glendfx?e has several. (Forsyth 1 per block.)
In Glendive the churches have been using a temporary sign
(portable) and it has been working very well.
The committee still recommends that a handicap parking space
be provided in front of City Hall, the City parking lot and
one by the FAP Complex. Joe Bradley, City Attorney, will be
preparing an ordinance.
The committee further recommends that the churches be authorized
to use a portable handicap parking sign on a voluntary basis.
These signs will be put up and removed by the respective church
as they deem necessary, usually during church hours. If they
continue to have problems, then we could pass an ordinance to
enforce it.
Meeting adjourned at 4:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
IPOI?
