3.C. Review and consider no parking areas related to downtown overnight parking
Discussion:
Tom Ourada noted that over time the City has taken steps to alleviate the crowded downtown parking situation, including creation of a parking overlay district. This appears to have had an overall positive impact on parking availability. Councilmember Ryan Hinz stated that he believes the $50 charge for parking in the city parking lot is too high priced. He has received comments that additional downtown apartments are planned and that additional parking should be considered to meet this need. Council President Dale Strehle stated that he believes no changes are required at this time. The general consensus is to take no action at this time.
