Van Campen That the traffic commission implement a restriction on residents parking covered cars on public ways Councilor Smith said she lives near a place with two parked covered Cars at all times, which makes it hard for traffic enforcement to do their job checking for resident stickers and 72-hour parking limits. With the city's parking problems, she said this is not a storage facility and if people want to cover cars long-term they should rent a lot, not use the public way. She made a motion to refer this to the traffic commission to implement a restriction on parking covered cars on public ways, which was seconded by Councilor Van Campen, who added that he has been working with Councilor Smith on this issue on a particular street for months with no solution. The motion to refer to the traffic commission passed. MOTION: Refer MOVER: Stephanie Smith SECONDER: Robert Van Campen RESULT: Passed [0 TO 0] AYES: NAYS: AWAY:

He made a motion to refer this to the administration for an update, as delaying decisions on these properties should be avoided. Councilor Hanlon seconded. Councilor Garcia emphasized the importance of these meetings to hear from impacted residents, especially parents of students in the affected grade levels. The administration needs to move the process along so a decision can be made to address ongoing school overcrowding. Refer item to administration for update MOTION: Refer MOVER: Robert Van Campen SECONDER: John Hanlon RESULT: Passed [0 TO 0] AYES: NAYS: AWAY:
