Summary
The University Park Council on June 1 adopted LR 26-O-03, amending § 9-104 of the Town Code to increase permit fees and fines for parking at electric vehicle charging spaces and to clarify eligibility for any subsidy; the vote was unanimous.
The University Park Mayor and Common Council unanimously adopted LR 26-O-03 on June 1, 2026, amending § 9-104 of the Town Code to increase permit fees and fines for parking at electric vehicle charging spaces and to clarify subsidy eligibility. The motion was made by Councilmember William Sweet and seconded by Councilmember Casey Kelby.
Council members said the amendment is intended to improve compliance with designated EV charging stalls and to make subsidy rules clearer for applicants. LR 26-O-03 updates hourly and permit fees for EV charging station parking and adjusts penalties for noncompliance; the ordinance text amends Chapter 9, Article 1, § 9-104 of the Town Code.
The change passed on a unanimous voice vote. Town staff will incorporate the ordinance language into the municipal code and publish notice as required. The Council did not discuss further amendments during the meeting; implementation details and timelines were not specified at the meeting.
