Council moves parking-restrictions ordinance (50-20-26) forward after 90-day trial
Summary
After a 90-day trial addressing overflow parking and dilapidated vehicles affecting local businesses (including near Eldon Lumber), the board placed ordinance 50-20-26 on its first reading and advanced the measure with affirmative votes.
City staff reported a 90-day temporary traffic order addressing overflow parking and inoperable vehicles that blocked businesses on 5th and 6th streets and near Eldon Lumber. The staff member said the 90-day period was intended to test enforcement; if kept, the change will be codified in ordinance 50-20-26 amending the municipal code's parking restrictions.
A board member moved to place bill 50-20-26 on its first reading; the motion passed and later roll-call votes recorded multiple ayes, after which the clerk and chair indicated the bill will be processed as ordinance 50-20-26. The staff said the change will give authorities the ability to ticket or tow when necessary to relieve business-blocking parking problems.
