NEW BUSINESS
Third Street Reconstruction Project
Turnblad introduced this item by summarizing his staff report dated June 15, 2018. Washington
County is reconstructing 3rd Street from Walnut Street to Chestnut Street. Since the project
involves a new concrete road surface on a steep grade, a full road closure will be required.
The County anticipates that full road closure will begin mid to late-July and last up to 8
weeks. There will be no parking on 3rd St during the full closure. In addition, Municipal Lot 18
will not be accessible. Lot 19 will remain accessible from Pine St.
Due to the limited amount of parking on side streets, particularly during the day, the County
makes the following requests:

1) That the City allow 10-12 parking spaces to be made available for residents in Municipal
Lot 20. The spaces would be marked with signs indicating ‘Reserved for 3rd St Resident
Parking’. The signs would be provided and installed by the County. In addition, 8
spaces will be reserved for resident parking in the Historic Courthouse Parking Lot.
2) That the City allow overnight parking for the reserved spaces in Lot 20.
3) That the City waive the fee of $1.50/space/day. The total waived fee is anticipated to be
approximately $1,008.00
Chair Andersen moved to approve the first and second requests but deny the third request.
Motion seconded by Vice Chair Pelletier, which passed unanimously.
