Saugatuck City Council Aug. 25 appointed members to an advisory parking improvements task force asked to explore remedies to congested downtown parking during summer months.
They are:
• City council representative and chair Gregory Muncey,
• Planning commission representative Auston Marineau,
• City resident representatives Cathy Brockington and Wendy Colsen,
• Restaurant owner representative Alec Payleitner,
• Retail business owner representative Michael Gustaitis,
• Convention & Visitors Bureau representative Gary Kott and
• Interurban representative Becky Carten-Crandell.
Their first meeting will likely be late this month or in early October, depending on when a parking study consulting firm can be hired. Muncey, mayor Holly Anderson and city manager Ryan Cummins are reviewing proposals from three applicants and will interview each before making a recommendation to city council.
All task force meetings will be open to the public. The city clerk is creating a page on the city website saugatuckcity.com and will post all agendas, meeting packets and recorded meeting videos on the it so they can be accessed by the community.
