This memorandum proposes an amendment to the Master Parking Rate Schedule for Downtown Parking Meters, recommending the extension of parking meter operating hours to 9:00 p.m. and an increase in rates to $4 per hour for certain meters. The changes aim to enhance parking-related revenue and align with evolving parking demand in the Downtown core.

  • The last update to parking meter rates was in 2014, and current hours have not changed in over two decades.
  • The memorandum was coordinated with various city departments and will be posted on the City Council Agenda website for the June 23, 2026 meeting.
