recommendation
The City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance as amended.
explanation
The City Commission at its meeting of January 11, 1999, authorized the City Attorney to draft and the Clerk of the Commission to advertise an ordinance amending the parking code, to allow flexibility in the parking decal program. These changes include expanding the program to non-residential areas and allow the use of parking decals in metered spaces.
Since first reading the Treasury Manager has suggested including in the ordinance a provision allowing parking permits for law enforcement officers and inspectors during the course of their work in the area. The proposed revisions for second reading are shown by double underlines.
