Chairman’s Update – The phone by the bus station needs to be removed – The clerk will contact Verizon. Also, he will touch base with Christine Riehl in reference to getting our budget increased to enable the Authority to make improvements to the lots.

Councilman Migut – New Business – Councilman Migut, our new liaison, came to the meeting to discuss his new idea about how to improve the parking situation downtown.  Councilman Migut has researched dedicating spaces in the DOT municipal parking lot for business employees.   At this time employees of local businesses are parking in the Laurelton lot and street parking spaces and monopolizing the parking spaces that should be available for customers. This would provide parking passes for employees to park in the train station so the spaces can be opened up to service customers for local businesses.  They clerk of the authority will assist in setting up  a meeting with local business owners to attend the March 5, 2020 meeting to discuss.

Motion by Commissioner Curcio, second by Commissioner Lubin to approve the following vouchers for payment.
