TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment - No Parking Area for Fire Department Vehicles
DATE: March 1, 2011
In conjunction with the construction of the new parking ramp and fire headquarters
expansion, Fire Chief Dan Brown has requested that additional street parking be
reserved for parking of fire department vehicles.
With the construction of the parking ramp, the available parking of fire department
vehicles behind the current station has been taken away. Chief Brown indicated that
this was valuable space for them when vehicles from outlaying stations were required to
come to headquarters for filling of air tanks and other necessary trips to headquarters.
There is insufficient length of the front apron area to allow vehicles to park there without
encroaching into the sidewalk area in front of the station on 9 Street.
Parking System Supervisor Tim Horsfield recommends City Council approval to reserve
the parking area on Central Avenue from 9th Street to the entrance of the new ramp at
975 Central on the west side only for parking of official fire department vehicles 7 days
per week, 24 hours per day.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.
