Council tables winter-parking ordinance, refers parking issues to Public Works
Summary
After a public hearing and comments from residents, the council tabled Ordinance 2026-221-36 (proposed winter parking date changes) and asked the Public Works Subcommittee to study enforcement and permit options with input from Planning, DPW, and Police.
The council opened a public hearing on proposed changes to the winter parking ban (Ordinance 2026-221-36), which would shorten the no-parking winter window. Resident Sue Higgins — the requestor — urged consideration of permit parking for residents who lose off-street parking during bans. "She was the one who requested the change but she feels the people who have no place to park when there is a parking ban," the record shows.
After procedural readings, councilors decided to table the ordinance for further work and sent parking issues to the Public Works Subcommittee. The motion to table passed unanimously; Councilor Bogert asked that Planning, DPW and Police attend subcommittee discussions to address enforcement and equity across neighborhoods.
