Introduction
This report transmlts for second reading and adoption an ordlnance regulatlng
parklng meters ln the City. This ordinance was lntrodueed by the City Counell

Background
On January 22, 1980t the Parklng Authorlty recommended to the City Council that
staff be directed to amend the parking meter ordinance ralsing the parking meter
rates in Zone E to 25c per hour. In addltlont the Counell dlrected staff to
amend the ordlnance to lnclude in Zone D the western portion of Lincoln Boule-
vard between Mlchlgan Avenue and Pica Boulevard. Staff took this opportunlty
to update the entire parking meter ordlnance by modernlzlng the language and
by raising the rates ln Zone B to 10~ an hour to meet current lnflatlon. In
order to accomplish thlS, on March 4t 1980, the City Councll accepted this
ordinance (IteM 8-E) for flrst readlng. At that tlme the resolutlon was attached
for Council review.
If the proposed ordlnance 15 adoptedt staff will need funds from parking meter
revenue for the replacement and purchase of parking meterS. Staff
wlll be able to convert the existing 200 Zone B meters at a cost of $4,000,
