Council Member <br />Mihalkanin stated for the records that just because he is in favor of maintaining <br />the back -in parking on the plan submitted by Mr. Carson does not mean that he is <br />in favor of back -in parking in the downtown.

Staff will bring <br />back a review after a year from the time of construction to reevaluate the back -in <br />parking on Edward Gary.
