The Board of Weld County Commissioners agrees to the request made by the Downtown Merchants Association for use of the Centennial Center parking garage for public parking during the Christmas season. The following provisions represent the Board' s understanding of items verbally agreed to between the Board and the Merchants Association. 1) Dates of usage are: December 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22nd, from 5:30 PM to 12:00 PM. 2) The Merchants Association agrees to pay the cost of an additional security guard to be stationed in the parking garage during those hours; the rate of pay will be $4.00 per hour for a period of 78 hours. 3) The Merchants Association may place a sign outside the garage entrance stating the times the lot is open to the public. 4) No trucks, campers, pickups with camper shells higher than the cab of the pickup, or other similar vehicles • will be permitted in the garage. The Board requests that the Merchants Association include in their sign a prohibition of such vehicles. 5) Should it become apparent that the security of the building cannot be assured under this arrangement, the Board retains the right to cancel this agreement prior to the expiration date of the stated time period. The Merchants Association retains the right to cancel this agreement should it determine that the need for the additional parking does not exist. Merchants Association December 4, 1978 Page Two Concerning your request for use of the parking lot on the corner of 7th Street and 8th Avenue, the County does not lease that lot after regular business hours; we would usggest that you contact the owner of that property to request after-hours usage. If the Merchants Association is in agreement with the stated provisions, please return a signed copy of this agreement to the Commissioners' Office. Mr. Adny Petruzzi , Buildings and Grounds Superintendent, will act as the County's contact person concerning this arrangement. Please get in touch with him as soon as possible to work out specific details. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Si9cerely, ' 7,--nre9 7r .21- Cindr‘----- une K.

Warden Subject: Parking for Christmas Shoppers Per your request I contacted Don Franks concerning our general liability if shoppers used our parking area at nights from now until December 30, 1978. He in turn contacted the underwriters. They see no problem with our coverage in that there is no way for the insurance company to exclude any activity on County property, and our policy covers any and all activities. If we had this arrangement year around, they would have to rate the parking area as a commercial parking area, which would raise our premiums. However, on a temporary basis it will have no rate or premium impact. In short, we are covered from a liability point-of-view and have a clearance to use the area as requested by the downtown merchants. MEMO TO: Weld County Commissioners FROM: Greeley Downtown Merchant Association, Vicki Johnston (Vice-President) . DATE: November 21 , 1978 With the Christmas season rapidly approaching, and the busiest: time of the year for the Downtown merchants upon us, we find that there is again an evident parking problem. We would therefore like to ask the cooperation of the County Commissioners in checking on the feasibility of the following: 1. Allowing the Chuckwagon Dinner Playhouse, and other Downtown customers �y�✓ the option of parking in the County parking lot each evening from \l, \ J 5:30 p.m. , to 12:00 p.m. beginning November 27, through December 30, 4-'l A° 1978. In checking the lot with several commissioners we learned 1:73- that there may be legal questions which would arise regarding the IJIJ. • County liability if auto or pedestrian accidents were to occur. y(N Also there may be a security problem if the doors to the elevator IV ' 1 are not locked each evening. ,pi'6 2. Permitting the Downtown Merchant Association to place a sign outside the parking garage which would state the times that the Jot was open to the public. 3. To also permit the use of the lot on the corner of ,7th Street, and • 8th Avenue for overflow parking during the Christmas season. We would like to thank you for your cooperation, and quick response to our request to meet with the Commissioners on Monday morning. If further information is required please contact Terry Perry; at 352-7672 or Lunn Settje, at 356-7500, otherwise, r will contact you sometime during the week of November 27 to see what might be agreeable.
