This purpose of this memo is to request amending City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances
Title 9 Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 14 Parking, Division 3 Municipal Parking
Lots, Section 9-14-321.645 Meters, Time and Fee Schedule for Specific Lots.
DISSCUSSION:
The current version of the ordinance requires fees, charges and hours to be approved
by the City Council with your recommendation. We are currently exploring a new smart
parking platform which may require the ability to use a variable rate system determined
by demand and usage in the existing and planned parking Ramps and Lots within the
City. We believe having flexibility, determined by demand, and providing a quality and
equitable product for the consumers of our services is a priority for the City
Organization.
City Attorney Crenna Brumwell has drafted an amendment to the ordinance that would
allow for the City Manager to establish fees, charges and hours of operation for the
various City Lots.
REQUESTED ACTION:
I request City Council approval to proceed with the recommended Code of Ordinance
amendment.
