I I III Council Meeting Minutes May 26, 1987 Gunderman would like to see a plan or a change in School Board policy to show that Irondale has an extra 100 spaces, believing the issue could then be addressed. Groth stated with the permit-parking policy the school will be se- lecting 100 leisure drivers which is a controllable situation (noted the school sees an increase of 400-500 drivers from Fall to Spring); if the city posts two-hour parking, the school will limit permits. The District set, and is committed to, a policy regard- ing off-street parking. Fabio believes, with the assurances he has heard tonight from the school district and the conditions the Mayor has built into the approval, the action would be adequate and asked that the passing of the permit not be delayed any further; and feels the approach is reasonable and believes there is a compromise on both sides. Gunderman asked if any data was available from comparable sized high schools in the community. Mattila stated Mounds View has 421 available spaces (15 of which are across the street), the only difference is that lrondale has more residential streets in the immediate vicinity. Ostlund, with regard to the bussing issue, stated 29 regular routes transport 1,500 students, all other students are within the one-mile walking distance. Brandt would support the resolution if it were 100 spaces by 1988, which would create motivation and gives the city assurance things will take place.
