Service award. Unfortunately, Roger Schwartze was not able to attend.
b) Request: Request to modify 2-hour time limited parking to 3- or 4-hour time limited
parking in the 600 block of E. High Street. (Requestor: Charlotte Boockman)
Mrs. Griffin gave the staff report. Staff suggested to setting time limits as 30 mins, 1-hour,
2-hour, 4-hour, 10-hour, or unrestricted as those choices are more common in Downtown
area rather than a 3-hour time limit.
After a lengthy discussion of possibilities between Charlotte Bookman and the commission
members, Mr. Karl Staub made a motion to modify parking on the North and South Side

(Requestor: Staff)
Mrs. Griffin gave the staff report. Staff is requesting the time limits be removed from both
blocks to allow residents to legally utilize these spaces.
After a couple of concerns on if removing the signs would make an effect of residence
around the building getting comfortable with parking, and if there would be any
altercation if there would happen to be another business were to move into the building.

from both blocks to allow all residents to legally utilize the spaces. Motion was seconded
by Jeff Collins. All members voted in favor of the motion.
