Rohloff FROM: Jim Collins, Transportation Director DATE: March 17, 2014 RE: Explanation of Enforcement of Parking Regulations in City Parking Lots 1. ENFORCEMENT OF PARKING REGULATIONS IN CITY PARKING LOTS Mr. Collins said permit parking restrictions are now enforced between the hours of 9:00 am and 6:00 pm except weekends and holidays with overnight parking allowed per previous discussions. He went on to say timed parking restrictions (2 and 4 hour parking) are still enforced on Saturdays. He explained that at a past Parking Utility Meeting Parking Enforcement Officer Sorenson and Capt. Schoeni told the Board that on Saturdays police enforce parking regulations on a complaint basis. However, the parking utility commission has expressed continual interest in standardizing enforcement days and times and excluding Saturdays from enforcement. Mr. Herman said he had concerns about no enforcement of regulations for the leased parking spaces. To demonstrate his concern, he used an example of a tenant residing in a downtown apartment not having his assigned parking space available upon returning from grocery shopping. Item 1 was amended to include 24 hour, 7 day a week enforcement of leased stalls. It was then moved to accept the amended version of item 1, changing the hours of timed parking enforcement to 9 a. m. to 6 p.m. except weekends and holidays and leased stall enforcement to 24 hour, 7 days a week.
