It is apparent that many city employees (inspectors) park at meters near the Courthouse throughout
the day. There is a plan to remove parking meters on Second Street to create Tax Exempt Vehicle
Permit Parking. This will allow public use of the meters near the Courthouse. Meter revenues
should increase, because Second Street meters are 4-hour meters (25¢/hr.), and meters around the
Courthouse are 1-hour meters ($1.00/hr.).
ADVANTAGESIFAPPROVED:
Public will be able to park at many more meters near the Courthouse and library. City employees
will have a designated area on Second Street. Meter revenues should increase as the public will
able to use meters in this area; whereas, ciry employees did not put money in the meters because
police gave immunity to vehicles with city employee identification.
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
City employees walk further to Courthouse offices than before in a more threatening area. Mayor's
Complaint Office and LIEP are creating a tax exempt permit parking system and deciding distributio
of permits to appropriate parties. Also, some business employees will lose 4 hour meter parking on
Second Street.
.,
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPROVED:
One hundred-plus city employees will continue to park at meters near the Courthouse each day
which will prevent the general public from using those meters. �������

2nd Street Meter Removals
issue: Remove 38 parking meters (.25 per hour - 4 hour maximum) on 2nd St. from
Kellogg Bivd. to Jackson St.
Impact: Revenue (loss) from removal of ineters on 2nd St.
38 meters x$2.00 per day x 303 days (no Sun. or Holidays) =$24,467 per yr.
Revenue (gain) from assumed 75 exempt City vehicies parked at meters
within downtown core area. When asked how many city vehicle permits
needed for 2nd Street, 140 permits were requested. However, not allo�these
requests would be parked all day at meters, so assumed 75 vehicles.
75 meters x$8.50 per day x 251 days =$160,012 per year.
Result is $160,012 - $24,467 = $135,545 increase
Other Impacts:
Creates more parking spaces for downtown businesses
Creates more parking for residents coming to City Hall, Public Library, ect... in
downtown core area.
Some area employees and others must find alternative areas to park.
