Motion carried. The Fulton Square parking lot was next on the agenda. The Committee discussed the possibility of changing the parking in this lot from head in parking to diagonal parking. Mayor Edwards stated that the light standard will not be in the correct areas due to the fact they were installed with head in parking in mind. Some of the standards will be in parking places if the lot is changed to diagonal parking. This lot has had head in parking since 1978. Chet Phillips stated that he had looked at the change for ease in getting in and out of the spaces. He stated that the rows will be narrower since the aisles will be one way instead of two way and this should allow more parking spaces. Dick Coay stated he would like to see a diagram of the area before making a declslon. When asked about the striping, Clif O'Brien stated it would be easier to leave the parking as it is. If it is changed, he would like to see someone in engineering lay it out so that it is correct and problems be eliminated prior to the striping. Committee discussed the possibility of having it striped prior to the Friendship Festival. Clif stated he would do the rest of the lots and leave this one till last. He stated it would take two days to stripe this lot. Committee decided to refer the item to the next City Council meeting for further discussion. No further business was discussed and the Lake, Buiidings and Grounds Committee was adjourned.

Ray McKinney stated that Pat Wright has looked at several printers and she has recommended an NCR Model 6450 at a price of $6645.00. This would replace the present printer and has the capability of printing 400 lines per minute. This would be paid from three separate funds: general, garbage and water & sewer. Chet Phillips asked how much the present printer is used, is the 400 line a minute speed faster than the present printer, is that speed necessary? He stated that he feels that the replacement of the head in the present printer does not mean it is worn out. He stated he would like to have more information before making a decision.
