Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 13,2011 Page 16 and conducted a study on trends and the tenant mix that was provided to the City Council at the time of the PUD approval; and it was determined that what was providing for parking for a redevelopment was sufficient for current and future needs. Mr. Trudgeon advised that, if in the future, there were any issues with parking, there were additional areas available on the site that were not currently being used or needed for parking, but available if that need should arise.

Councilmember McGehee opined that this was short-sighted in this economy, and advised that she was not im- pressed with their cosmetic rehabilitation or available green space for children. Councilmember McGehee opined that this TIF District proposal was not a good use of public funds, when the money should be made available to residents of
