<br />1 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />Council Minutes <br />~1arch 13, 1984 <br /> <br />Police Chief Kelley reviewed the staff report <br />concerning the new and revised parking ordinance. <br /> <br />Schmidt referred to Section 29-20 (Limited Night <br />Time Parking) and Section 29-21 (Limited Day and <br />Evening Parking), understanding that one refers to <br />a 30-minute time period for parking between <br />November 1 and April 1 between the hours of <br />2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.; the other limitation is <br />for six hours between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. <br />which would apply throughout the year. <br /> <br />Kelley stated Schmidt's understanding was correct. <br /> <br />Schmidt then clarified that during the winter months <br />there would be a 30-minute parking period. <br /> <br />Kelley advised that this is consistent with what the <br />ordinance now says for year-around, with the excep- <br />tion of emergency calls. Staff can't justify the <br />year-around ban, from a pOlice perspective, and <br />further advised council that the time of 7:00 a.m. <br />dovetails with the snowplowing procedures. <br /> <br />Schmidt asked, with reference to 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 <br />a.m. during the other months (with the exception of <br />winter months), if that could be stretched to allow <br />for overnight parking (2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.) and <br />Kelley stated it could be. <br /> <br />Schmidt stated that it would not clutter the streets <br />with cars because of the six-hour limitation. <br /> <br />Harcus asked if odd-even parking had been considered <br />year-around, or during the summer months for 24-hours. <br /> <br />Kelley stated that it had been discussed, but that <br />odd-even parking may be complex for this city. <br /> <br />With reference to Section 29-7 (Private Parking Lots <br />and Semi-Public Property), Benke understands that it <br />bends, to some extent, our authority over private <br />and semi-prtvate parking lots. He asked if it <br />covered inoperable vehicles. <br /> <br />Kelley indicated that inoperable and unlicensed <br />vehicles are covered in the "Abandon Vehicles" <br />section. This allows police regulation and enforce- <br />ment and to take certain action in "private but open <br />to the public" property (ie, mobile home parks and <br />parking lots). <br /> <br />Page Two <br /> <br />Parking Ordinance <br />Report 84-55 <br />
