Downtown Parking
Problem
The parking enforcement officer is only working part time because of illness so there has been an enforcement problem on the square caused by area employees taking advantage of his absence. Enforcement six days a week would require another person. The parking meter system used in the past took in enough money to pay a person and pay for the meters. Members agreed to go back to the Downtown Association for a recommendation—Kris Norman will coordinate that effort.
