Housing & Redevelopment Authority July 5, Zoos Page 4 5.2. Update on Implementation of the King Avenue Parking Lot Task Force Recommendations Assistant Director of Economic Development Heidi Steinmetz provided background on the King Avenue Parking Lot Task Force. Ms. Steinmetz indicated that the City Council will be considering the Task Force's recommendations to the Traffic and Vehicles chapter of the City Ordinance that specifically relates to downtown on July 18, 2005. Ms. Steinmetz explained that the proposed changes indicate that the Police Department will be issuing free parking permits to all downtown employees and residents for the King Avenue parking lot. Ms. Steinmetz stated that in order to implement the Task Force's recommendation regarding parking time limit zones within downtown, a City Council resolution designating those areas would need to be considered and it is anticipated that this will be considered upon completion of the Downtown Revitalization Project construction. She noted that the HRA will have a chance to provide input on the resolution prior to its consideration by the City Council. Commissioner Toth questioned if any thought had been given to what will happen if employees are issued a parking permit and they teiniinate their employment and whether or not there would be a way to get the parking permit back. Ms. Steinmetz indicated that the details of the parking permits will be worked out by the Police Department. Chair Wilson questioned if parking would be allowed overnight in the instance that residents have overnight guests that need somewhere to park. Ms. Steinmetz stated that she believes the overnight parking restrictions relate to snow plowing but indicated that she will speak to the Planning Department as they will be handling the code changes. 6.
