Code of Ordinances Amendment Title 9_Parking Fee Schedule and ViolationsTHE CITY OF DUB Masterpiece on the Mississippi Dubuque kiAtZidi AO -America City 1111 r 2007 - 2012 - 2013 February 24, 2014 To: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager From: Tim Horsfield, Parking Division Manager Subject: FY 2015 Budget Related Ordinance Changes Parking Division 830 Bluff Street Dubuque, IA 52001 563-589.4267 www. cityofdubuque. org/parking Introduction This memo will provide you with information regarding two ordinance changes the will require adoption. Discussion During the development of the FY 15 budget, it was determined that certain rates would have to be raised to offset additional expenses for the year. One of the adjustments will be raising the 10 hour parking meter rate from $.25 per hour to $.35 per hour. It is anticipated that this increase in rates will generate approximately $25,000 annually. (9-14-321-667) Secondly, more in conversations throughout the year with life safety personnel than with the budget, it was discussed that parking next to a fire hydrant should be the same fine amount at a fire lane, that being $50.00 rather than $15.00. So, as a part of this budget process, I am submitting an ordinance adjusting the fine amount. (9-14-321-621) Recommendation Subsequent to your approval, I am recommending that the City Council approve the revised ordinances as indicated.
