Chairman Dominic Yagong and Committee Members <br /> Committee an Public Works and Parks <br /> June 15, Ie9R <br /> Page 3. <br /> • There has been a history of inadequate enforcement of the parking time <br /> limits. <br /> • The D[A and the administration have explored various alternatives, <br /> including privatization. All of which have been met with resistance <br /> from personnel or the administration and the more recent Supreme <br /> Court ruling against privatization. <br /> Merchants are willing to monitor and report non-customer abuses of <br /> parking. With the Police Department's support, violators can be tagged. <br /> A cooperative effort like this will result in amore effective plan to provide <br /> for the needs of customers and fewer customer fines. <br /> To remedy the County's lose of revenue due to the moratorium and the <br /> eventual removal of the meters, the 1~1A recommends that private <br /> industry's lead be followed; eliminate or transfer permanently those <br /> employees who no longer serve a necessazy function. There is no <br /> <br /> justification for keeping the three parking meter positions, particularly if <br /> the administration does not require them to routinely fulfill their job <br /> description of enforcing the parking ordinance as it pertains to time limits. <br /> Again, the DIA strongly urges that the Council eliminate the parking <br /> meters and maintain the time limits, with continued enforcement by the <br /> Police Department. Your support and understanding of the Downtown <br /> businesses' sentiments and needs are greatly appreciated. <br /> Sincerely. <br /> C/ <br /> Randy Rohner, Chair <br /> DIA Parking Committee <br /> <br />
