Council agenda lists second reading of ordinance to rescind downtown parking limits

Ordinance 2026-005 — titled in the agenda as an amendment to Chapter 62: Traffic and Vehicles, Article II: Regulation of Downtown Parking — was placed on the council's Sept. 15, 2026 agenda for a second reading. The ordinance text as listed would rescind existing downtown parking time limits (section 62-33) and the city's time-restricted parking rules (section 62-36), and provide for related matters and an effective date.

The appearance of the ordinance on the second-reading docket signals a potential change to long-standing downtown parking regulations; the agenda identifies the specific code sections targeted but the transcript provided does not record council debate, a motion, or a vote. The item should be expected to return in the meeting record with the council’s formal action and any amendments, if taken.
