He commented that he would like the Planning Staff to make a recommendation to the City Planning and Zoning Commission for their review and consideration. He indicated he would like this recommendation to encompass off-street parking; traffic flow; development of downtown Englewood ; the recommended sites for purchase to provide the off-street parking and a proposed method of purchase. Discussion ensued.

This suggestion was discussed. The possible methods of gaining the needed funds for financing the proposed purchases was discussed..
