public hearing on the CDBG Fiscal Year 2006 Annual Action Plan.
The budgets for the following City departments were discussed: Economic Development
Department, Parking Division, Transit Division, Library Department, and Housing and
Community Development Department.
Parking Division: Duggan requested that during inclement weather tickets issued at the
Airport be inserted into plastic wraps. Connors also commented that debit/swipe cards
should be looked at for parking ramps. Michalski questioned whether the low occupancy
rate in the Fourth Street Ramp was due to the flat fee schedule.

ridership.

Fiscal Year 2006 (Program Year 2005) Community Development Block Grant Annual
Action Plan and no comments were received. The remainder of the Housing Services
