Parking Committee - Mission Statement
This item was tabled to next month's meeting.
b.
Letters from the Public
Peggy Arraiz spoke on the RV parking situation, there is no parking for RV's, and they are not permitted to park anywhere. Audria mentioned the lease for the existing parking lot across from Seven Gables, suggesting that a portion of this lot could be used for RV and trailer parking. The Committee discussed more options, asking Peggy about how the RV's and trailers are ticketed. Peggy's staff is done ticketing at 5 pm, leaving the night parking ticketing responsibility with the Police Department. The Committee requested Deputy Chief Robert Ridle to attend next month's meeting to discuss this matter further.
The Committee discussed Christine Coke's e-mail and Gus Gutierrez explained the situation of the use of the alleyway. The Committee concluded that this is a private matter and doesn't involve the City, it is a civil matter.
