Parking Garage on Hold

The City Council is holding a workshop today at 2pm to discuss the need for downtown parking and the location options for a parking garage.

The Georgetown City Council will meet on February 11, 2020 at 2:00 PM at City Council Chambers, 510 W 9th Street Georgetown, TX 78626

SUBJECT:

Presentation and review regarding the downtown parking garage project and discussion of options for further review of additional sites -- David Morgan, City Manager

ITEM SUMMARY:

This workshop is to provide background for the current work on the proposed downtown parking garage at 6th and Main and to discuss options for council direction on analysis of different sites.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The funding for the current garage was included in the FY2019 Budget at $5 million. A contract for $348,000 was approved in November 2019 with Wantman Group for the architectural and engineering design on the proposed structure.

Here is the staff recommendation:

There does does not seem to be a recommendation as to how the public will be involved in the site selection, but, it is recognized that a process has to be developed and presented to Council before moving forward.
