2nd, 3rd and 4th Street as planned by the Downtown Development Association but is in favor of the
angle parking plan for Naches Avenue. He explained that he is pleased to see the interest shown
by the Chamber of Commerce and the Development association and indicated that the survey should
be made by top level people from these and other groups. Councilman Munger reported that the
Park TN Shop Association has provided 391,900 hours"'of free.parking. He also protested Mr.'Finley'
statment toi the Planning Commission that Lenox Avenue ••O,verpass; will not help the down town access
problem. Mr. Finley contended that the problem is access to the down town area rather than park-
ing. Mrs. Lenore Lambert, who served- on•the citizens development committee, and-observer for
the League /of Women Voters., also protested the indication that Lenox Avenue Overpass will not pro-
vide better access to the down town-area.

$14,625.00 for a cent ra sys em ase on 25 tons cooling load and $20,125-00-based on 33 tons whic
they believe to be the total cooling load and which would be individual packaged units. He furth(
reported thattthe Consulting Engineers are recommending the central system - mounted on the roof,
but that our Building Inspector reports that the Administration Building roof is not structurally
strong enough for this purpose. He also reported that he has not'yet heard from Woodyard and
