The City Council approved a meter zone and map in October, 2012.  The Parking Advisory Board (PAB) informed Council that it would identify areas where 10-hour meters or zones should be established. After observing how the approved plan worked over the past few months, the PAB recommends some minor changes to the meter zone map and placement of 10-hour, signed zones. Instead of bringing all future meter zone and limited time parking proposals to the City Council, the PAB recommends amendments to the City Code that will allow the City Administrator to install meters or establish limited time parking. Staff presented this information and proposal to Council at its July 15 work session. The proposed ordinance also makes other housekeeping changes to various parts of Article 24-400.

The City Council may approve, change or disapprove the code changes.  Disapproving the proposals will retain the existing meter zone and will not allow limited time parking to be established where the PAB believes it would be useful. 

These code changes do not cause a financial impact.   

The Parking Advisory Board recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing and approve amendments to the City Code that permit the City Administrator to install meters or signs in meter zones and to make other housekeeping changes to the parking code.
