Paid Parking Trial for Non-Residents
Summary
Commissioners floated paid parking for non-residents at Dinky Dock and the Lake Baldwin dog park, but both sites are outside the CRA. Staff noted most paid-parking vendors cover their own costs per transaction, so the city could pilot the idea at little to no cost — action would come through the City Commission, possibly as early as August.
