Counei 1 Hi nutes June 25, 1985 I Blomquist asked Proper is he was aware of other areas in the city that could have similar situations which would result in requests for "Parking for Resident Only" signs; Proper responded that requests may come from Hansen Park and Sunnyside area resi- dents, Harcus noted that typically the parking lot is closer to the diamond and streets are used for overflow parking. Rudolph pointed out that there are only four houses on 25th Street N.W. and that those four houses contain eight children under the age of ten years old; there have been times when she could not get her car out of the driveway; felt perhaps a letter could go to teams whe.n they register asking them to use the parking lots available; and co~mented that the residents on 25th St. ...:i11 take "No Parkinq" but ~'JOuld prefer "Resident Only Parking." Harcus -noted there is enough difference between 25th Street/14th Avenue and other parts of the ci ty and, based on the Ci ty Attorney's information, felt "Resident Only Parking" would be justifi ed. I Motion by Blomquist, seconded by Janecek, to DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A RESOLUTION DIRECTING RESIDENT PARKING ONLY ON 25TH STREET N.W, AND 14TH AVENUE N.W, FOR APPROVAL AT THE JULY 9, 1985, CITY COUNCIL MEETING. Motion by Benke, seconded by Harcus, to amend the motion to ASK STAFF TO CONTACT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICIALS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROGRAMrUNG AND REQUEST THEIR ASSISTANCE AND COOPERATION IN SEEKING VOLUNTARY NON-USE OF THE STREET PARKING BY PARTI- CIPANTS IN THEIR PROGRAMS. '-- 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Amendment Carried 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Main Motion Carried as Amended Benke suggested to the residents that if the driveways are blocked or if there any other inconveniences within the next few weeks, the Police Department be summoned because that is illegal, as is parking the wrong way on a street, Proper indicated that signs could be installed a few days after council approves the new resolution at the July 9th council meeting, I For the residents in attendance, Harcus clarified that the council agreed to "Residents Only Parkingll on both streets; and stated that the IINo Parking During SChool Hours" would be removed.
