Council memb(.-rs discussed parkin 'P;
P- limits in the douTntoTxm area. It was felt
that the Vi).lag!- parking lots should have a three (3) hour parking, linit., in the
dovmtown area, but Broadway Str:o.-t. Walnut Strettq and Pine Str-_t should have a
two (2) hour parking limit. Further$ Council membe-rs felt that courtesy tickets
should first be issued for ovmrtime parking. Councilman Schaff,! ---r suggested that
it might be a good idea to consider hiring a man to assist the Police Department
in controlling parking in the doTmtowr area. Councilman Schaffer statond that if
this position were created, it -would involve about eight (8) hours of work per
week. Council members felt that this might be a solution to some of the problems
involving parking. Motion by Councilman Schaff --r to have three (3) hour parking
limits in all Village parking lots and two (2) hour parking limits on the doTm.
