DISCUSSION:
On June 18, 2018, City Council adopted the Downtown Master Plan and Parking Study. One of the action items listed
in the plan was to conduct an analysis on a Potential One-Two Way Conversion on Front and First Streets.
Additionally, it was recommended to look into the feasibility of reducing Monroe Street from its current 5-lane
configuration to a reduced lane configuration. As such, in 2023, a study was commissioned by the Engineering
Department to assess the current and possible future conditions of various possibilities for reconfiguration.
The findings of the report by OHM Advisors were presented to both the Downtown Development Authority and City
Council in 2024. At the time, Council had tasked City Administration with seeking additional input from the business
owners, residents and property owners in the Downtown District that would be most affected by any modifications.
In April 2026 and continuing through June of 2026, the Engineering and Economic & Community Development
Departments made outreach to property owners, business owners and residents in the area inviting them to 3
stakeholder engagement sessions.
The purpose of this presentation will be to update City Council on comments and feedback received from the
sessions.

DISCUSSION:
Since about 2008, the City has utilized Equalizer.Net from BS&A Software for its main enterprise software. We have been
utilizing BS&A's software in some fashion since at least the year 2000. In 2005, it was expanded to the whole City. As with most
software companies, BS&A has created a new version of its software, referred to as Cloud or SAAS (Software as a service), and
they intend to at some point stop supporting our current software, Equlizer.Net, "aka dot Net". City Administration would like to
present the implications, pros, and cons of this change in order to be able to present a proposal from BS&A Software on June
15, 2026.
