Newell asked that the parking issued be determined now and the meter question can be addressed i <br /> at a later date, since it will only bog down the debate. <br /> Spangler sees no problem in having a two-hour time limit and forgetting about the meter issue. <br /> Nordholm added that many employees park downtown in the open spaces and that is the reason <br /> meters are needed. <br /> Ballard agrees with Spangler. He believes there are several other issues pertaining to this item. <br /> When K's Merchandise was on this block, he spoke with several store managers, and they said <br /> that parking was a problem in the downtown area in general, and that is why they moved away <br /> from the downtown area. Parking was changed last month on Merchant Street. If the <br /> Commission can do anything to help the businesses in the community, it should be done. He is <br /> in favor of the Staff recommendation. <br /> It was moved and seconded (Ryan / Spangler) to accept staff recommendation that parking time <br /> limits on Water Street between North and William Streets be changed from 30 minutes to two <br /> hours. There being no one opposed,the motion carried. <br />
