• FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES _3_ October 13, 2004 Petition for a permit parking zone on Lindi Street (continued) Mayor Gehrz explained that the intent of permit parking is not to prohibit parking on the streets. Residents living near or adjacent to the University find it difficult to park in front of their homes or have work done on their homes because University faculty, students and staff utilize those spaces as permanent, full-time parking spots. The yearly parking fee is $10/vehicle for up to two vehicles; $20/vehicle for each additional vehicle. Visitor parking permits are also available. Council member Lindstrom, Council liaison to the Planning Commission, said that about 15-20 residents from Lindig were at the Planning Commission meeting and all were in support of permit parking, except for 2-3 residents. One senior citizen, who has health concerns and has to contact family on short notice, expressed reservations and was assured that the City would make accommodations for her. Council member Talbot asked about temporary parking permits. Administrator Worthington said that temporary parking permits are available for $1.00 and are good for up to three weeks. The City also issues them for dumpsters. RESOLUTION 2004-22 Lindstrom moved adoption of Resolution 2004-22 authorizing the designation of both sides of Lindig Avenue north of Larpenteur as a residential permit parking area with parking in this designated area limited to two hour parking between 8 AM and 4 PM, Monday through Friday; or to residents abutting the street who have obtained a permit from the City; and to vehicles for which a temporary parking permit has been issued by the City in accordance with the rules set forth in the City's Administrative Manual. The motion was unanimously approved. Solid Waste Commission Report on Organized Collection Mayor Gehrz thanked the audience for coming, particularly with a very important presidential debate on television this evening. She said that approximately six months ago, the City Council authorized the Solid Waste Commission to study the advantages and disadvantages of organized garbage collection. Many residents and licensed haulers contributed information, opinions and suggestions during that study and their help is greatly appreciated. The Solid Waste Commission has completed their research of the issue and is presenting their report, proposed plan and the proposal from the haulers to the City Council tonight. Their report will be presented by Deborah Jones, the City's Planning and Zoning Coordinator, who, along with her many other duties, provides staff support to the Solid Waste Commission. • 3
