Parking Committee Report: Mr. Garbett presented a summary from the recent Parking Committee meeting stating that the Parking Committee made a motion allowing visitors/family members of residents to park in front of their homes in the City right-of-way (ROW) without a decal or pay and display. They further had the right to determine who would be allowed to park in the ROW. Dana Braun stated the ROW belongs to the City of Tybee Island and not the property owner. Ms. Doyle made a motion to rescind the Parking Committee policy as stated on the back of the current water bill. Ms. Williams seconded. Vote was unanimous. Discussion: Mr. Wolff suggested that when this goes back to the Parking Committee, they will need to identify any reasonable spaces that can be designated as ROW public parking, not encroaching into the neighborhoods, and find a way to publicize same. This could be done through the Better Hometown Newsletter, all media and the Savannah Morning News. Mr. Braun suggested the City come up with reasonable rules to accommodate a situation when residents have guests. Mayor Buelterman stated that they need to come up with options regarding signage; possible towing for violators, media options, establishing a rule that states you can only park in designated spaces. Also, the Parking Committee look at a reasonable but legal solution to guests parking in ROW. Joey Burel, Food Pantry: Mr. Schuman made a motion to approve. Ms. Doyle seconded.
