City Manager Fleming stated next month the City will conduct a parking study to identify parking problems in the downtown area. The study will examine measures to resolve parking issues such as parking structures and parking zones. Next year the City will construct a pedestrian gateway under the railroad track at South Street. This will open up pedestrian traffic to the east and parking at the ball fields. The City is also exploring other options including painting the curbs to restrict parking. Regarding the noise complaints, the City Manager and the Economic Development Director will speak with the restaurateurs and the Downtown Business Association to determine what can be done about the issue. Mayor Pro Tem Dalton stated the Council will look at reserved parking zones as a short- term solution, when the study is completed. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Fleming reported there has been a taste and odor issue with the City's water. Some areas of the City are affected more than others. The problem appears to be the water drawn from the South Boulder Creek Water Shed, which may have algae blooms related to the warmer weather. The City will draw water from Carter Lake network to minimize the effects. Long term plans include filtration systems. He noted
