redevelopment of the old municipal building, YSS is entitled to exclusive use of the 16 parking spaces in
Municipal Parking Lot P for a 15-year period ending in 2012; and,

and,
WHEREAS, during consideration of the 2007/08 budget, the Council determined that YSS should pay
the established market rate of$35/month per parking space for these spaces; and,

Directors,indicating that it had not budgeted any funds to pay the standard rate of$35 per space per month;and,
WHEREAS, YSS's request for further consideration of this rate was discussed at the April 24, 2007,
Council meeting, and at that time,the executive director of YSS had understood that the final five years of the
agreement would serve as a transitional period, and he further indicated that YSS does expect to pay the full
market rate set by the City after the 15-year term ends; and,
WHEREAS,YSS's executive director further stated that under the terms of the redevelopment agreement,
YSS currently performs all maintenance for Parking Lot P,which is a significant expense for YSS; and,
WHEREAS,it was stated that,as an annual average,YSS pays approximately$2,800 for upkeep of this
lot,which equates to a cost of$15 per space per month; and,
WHEREAS,in consideration of the expense YSS is already incurring to maintain Municipal Parking Lot
P,it seems appropriate that a rate of$20 per space per month be established for the final five years of the parking
agreement.
