DESCRIPTION:Please speak up at 10:15am at the City Council Chambers to tell the Council 
 not to fund the garage on the Farmers Market lot. \n\nIf you can’t come, 
 please email: citycouncil@cityofsantacruz.com\n\nSample letter:\n\nDear 
 Councilmembers:\n\nPlease add my name to those who support the "win-win" 
 strategies listed below.  They will result in a WIN for the Farmers Market, 
 a WIN for the Library and a WIN for Affordable Housing Downtown.\n\n(a) No 
 new parking garage where the Farmers Market meets downtown.\n     Parking 
 consultant Patrick Siegman studied downtown parking and reported that in 
 spite of anticipated development downtown, no new garage is needed.\n\n(b) 
 Parking funds can help renovate the Downtown Library.\n     If funding 
 beyond Measure S library funds are needed, additional funds can come from 
 parking revenue.\n\n(c) Offer the Farmers Market permanence at its current 
 location.\n     In addition, hire a consultant to facilitate a process to 
 design the space as a Town Commons.\n\n(d) Use parking funds to build 
 affordable housing.\n\n     Not building the garage will save the City's 
 parking fund $87 million over a 30-year period.  Parking revenue can be 
 used to leverage state and federal funding for housing that is truly 
 affordable to workers downtown.  Possible locations include the Calvary 
 Church parking lot, city parking lots on Front Street and city properties 
 adjacent to the METRO Center.\n
