Council debates new parking ordinances, emphasizes signage and towing authority; no action taken
Summary
Council members discussed Ordinances 26-02 and 26-03 to establish parking restrictions and time limits. Police Chief Dennis Cook said signage and towing would enable enforcement, "we will tow and ticket in 25 hours," but the council took no action on either ordinance.
Council members discussed two proposed parking ordinances (26-02 and 26-03). Larry Coxsey noted Krebs already has an ordinance (20-132) and questioned the need for replacement; Sherry DeFrange said the city needs clearly posted signs. Police Chief Dennis Cook told the council signage would be required for enforcement and said, "we will tow and ticket in 25 hours."
Council members asked whether citations could be issued citywide; Chief Cook said officers exercise judgment and towing/ticketing relies on posted signage. The council took no action on the proposed ordinances or the emergency clauses during the meeting, indicating staff should clarify overlaps with existing code before the council revisits the topic.
