City of St. Joseph asks to use courthouse lot for free parking during downtown paid‑parking rollout; county takes request under advisement
Summary
City of St. Joseph representatives asked to use the county courthouse parking lot as free parking when the city implements paid parking downtown; the county said it would consider the request and examine preexisting summer commitments before responding.
Representatives from the City of St. Joseph briefed the board on a plan to implement paid parking downtown and requested use of the county courthouse parking lot as a free option for motorists during evenings and weekends.
According to the presentation, the city plans to begin paid parking in May and seeks only the courthouse parking lot for free parking during hours when the courthouse is closed. County leaders said they would take the request under advisement, consult the executive committee and determine how often the county already commits the lot for other uses through the summer before responding to the city.
No formal action or vote was taken during the meeting; the request was recorded as a pending item for executive‑committee review and for later board action if needed.
