LEGAL DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM <br /> No. 88-57 <br /> December 1, 1988 <br /> TO: James C. Bacon, City Manager <br /> FROM: Georgiana V. Paine <br /> RE: Revisions to Chapter 34 <br /> Overtime Parking and Holiday and Week-end Parking <br /> Recently the Police Department notified the Legal Department <br /> that there is no provision in Chapter 34 of the City Code <br /> permitting free parking in metered spaces on Satur.days and <br /> Sundays. It has been our policy to enforce the time restrictions <br /> without requiring payment to the meters, but such was not <br /> reflected in the language of Chapter 34 . (A previous ordinance, <br /> Ordinance No. 84-34, accomplished this purpose, but it was never <br /> included in the Code. ) The revisions to the Code recommended <br /> herein are merely an attempt to codify existing practices and <br /> clarify existing language - no changes are being proposed. <br /> Proposed Section 40 of Chapter 34 will clarify the language <br /> in an existing section of the Traffic chapter of the City Code to <br /> . prohibit "meter feeding" ; that is, remaining parked in a space <br /> longer than the maximum time period indicated on the meter. <br /> Proposed Section 55 (b) of Chapter 34 is designed to <br /> incorporate into the Traffic chapter of the City Code a provision <br /> permitting parking on Saturdays but prohibiting cars from <br /> remaining in a parking space any longer than the maximum time <br /> period indicated on the meter. This section is meant to <br /> facilitate the enforcement of 2-hour meter parking on Saturdays. <br /> With your permission, an ordinance amending Chapter 34 will <br /> be placed on the Council agenda for December 19 , 1988 . <br /> GVP:pm <br /> cc: Deputy Chief Hunk <br /> Phyllis E. Sands <br />
