Summary

Council took first reading of an ordinance to raise per-visit parking rates from $10 to $15 at two city garages, approved a resolution to set community center rates, and approved contracting with MTAS to codify the municipal code at a cost of $4,800.

The board took the first reading of Ordinance No. 2644 to amend municipal code section 15-6071 and raise per-visit parking rates from $10 to $15 at the aquarium and McMahon parking facilities; staff said the change was discussed at an Oct. 21 workshop and is intended to generate revenue. Because this was a first reading, no final adoption occurred at this meeting.

Separately the board approved Resolution No. 1032 to set rates for activities and uses at the community center; staff requested an attachment with detailed line items and said the update streamlines charges and folds some services into memberships.

The board also approved a request to contract with the Municipal Technical Advisory Service (MTAS) to codify and update the city’s ordinances; staff presented a project cost of $4,800 and said department heads were providing input for the update. Motions for the community-center rates resolution and for the MTAS codification were approved by voice vote.
