BACKGROUND INFORMATION: To provide more timely responses to parking requests, staff recommends amending the Traffic Resolution by authorizing the City Manager to establish special reserved on -street parking for vehicle inspection and/or emergency vehicle parking. This concept has been used to modify the time limit restrictions Downtown with successful results. If approved, the intent is to install two vehicle inspection parking spaces in front of the new Police Department, as requested by the Police Chief. Currently, there are five spaces on the south side of Elm Street designated for emergency vehicle and/or vehicle inspection parking. Since these spaces are no longer needed, they will be changed to all -day parking. The Police Chief has also requested a passenger -loading zone and time limit parking in front of the Police Department. These changes can be implemented without City Council approval. The Police Department will provide enforcement by extending their existing Downtown enforcement routes. In addition, the Police Chief has requested angled parking be installed adjacent to the Police Department, as shown on Exhibit A. The Fire Chief was notified and does not object to the angled parking, since it does not affect the Fire Station's Elm Street access.
