INITtATINCa PROBLEM, ISSUE. OPPOFiTUNITV (W�o. Whet, Whan. Where, Why):
Passage of the above xeference ordinance would: Set in motion the events contemplated when
the 1996 General Fund and Parking and Transit Fund budgets were proposed and adopted,
increase revenues to the General Fund by over $300,000 on an annual basis and by a
proportionate amount for the remainder of 1996, implement the decision to increase the fine
to $15 already made by the City Council as part of Che 1996 budget process, help to offset
the cost of parking enforcement, help deter those individuals that readily violate the
parking ordinance, and increase the turnover at the City's parking meters.
ADYANTAGES IFAPPROVED: °
Improved compliance with parking ordinances, implementation of the Mayor's and City Council'
budget decisions, and increased revenue for the General Fund.
DISAWANiAGES If APPflO�ED:
There may be some discontent among violators, but this should be offset by the business
people who encourage turnover at the parking meters.

and an adverse impact on the finances anticipated for the 1996 General Fund Budget and the
1996 Parking and Transit Fund budget.
