Resolution 23-79
ITEM 6.A.
Council Action: 3/13/2023
Description

Resolution authorizing a change in time limits of four parking meter spaces located along N. Main Street.

Background/Discussion

Municipal Code sections 9.36.020 and 9.36.040 cite the need to receive administrative authority for the installation and operation of parking meters.

A change to the time limits of metered parking spaces has been requested by a representative of the Omni Center business park.  The 30-minute stalls located along N. Main Street were primarily used by bank customers.  Mid-States Bank recently vacated their suite, and a bank is not expected to return.  The building owner is requesting the change in time limits for the metered spaces to better fit customers of the current and future tenants of the building.

The meters are identified as numbers 814, 815, 816, and 817.

The associated work for this change includes replacement of the meter mechanism and coordinating with the Passport payment app.  All work will be performed by Public Works staff.  

The parking meter changes are predicted to increase usage of the on-street parking spaces and result in a nominal increase in revenue.

Recommendation

Approval of this resolution to change the parking meter time limits from 30 minutes to 2 hours for four parking spaces on N. Main Street.
