Parking Privatization

37-year resident who traces meter fights back to 1942. Proposes selling or leasing the garages or hiring a private management company like the Bobby Jones golf course model, and suggests moving enforcement back under police if Amendment 3 passes.

Dismisses the free-water analogy, calls staff claims about privatization fearmongering, says a 50-cent increase plus competitive bidding could turn a $100,000 loss into nearly $2 million including a franchise fee, and questions the $900,000 trolley subsidy in the parking budget.
