REPORT: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Frank Garner, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Parking Regulations
MEETING DATE: May 2, 2005
BACKGROUND: There have been three recent parking restriction requests that
require the attention of the council. The first is to limit parking on the east side of Lions
Park to two hours to improve congestion in the area_ Parking in the area has been
monopolized by a few individuals and is preventing use of the park. Two hour parking
should improve vehicle rotation and make the park more available.

The second area for consideration is adjacent to the Sheriff s Office on Main Street, The
Sheriff's Office has requested a loading zone on Main next to the Justice Center to
improve congestion from delivery vehicles. The loading zone would be restricted to
those individuals approved in advance by the Sheriff's Office at our recommendation.
The Department of Transportation and Public Works have coordinated the location of the
zone.
The third area for consideration is on Second Avenue West in the 100 block on the cast
side of the street. Permits should be required to provide additional spaces adjacent to the
facility. This is needed to provide for parking for the elderly residents at Center Court
Manner.
