City Council to finalize contract related to downtown parking
parking spaces beginning March 1, Jewell said. The city would pay a $265,672 lump sum annu- ally for a three-year term for those management services with two one-year extensions, according to the meeting presentation. Jewell said they do not anticipate there to be any sort of fiscal impact because the anticipated revenue from the parking enforcement would cover the cost of the contract. The outlook The city can either contract for services—which is the recommended approach—or hire additional staff and create a new department. The city can also build more parking spaces, but constructing new parking garages or lots, especially in the downtown area, is very expensive, Jewell said. Stay tuned Ordinance changes will be presented to the City Council in the coming months, Jewell said.
