Mr. Schroeter noted that the ordinance is related to use permits and may not be the action Mrs. Hoskins has in mind.

Geri Mayers, 2303 Broadway, representative of the Downtown Association, requested that free parking be allowed downtown on Saturdays in order to encourage business there, since no parking problem exists on weekends.

Discussion followed and Ms. Mayers, Mr. Schricker and City Manager Smith replied to questions and commented concerning the fact that the Parking Meter Committee is meeting this week and could consider the request and ways to respond; how prospective customers would know in advance if meters were not to be enforced; whether the City could transfer funds from the General Fund to the Parking District to cover Saturday meter earnings; whether such a transfer could be considered a community promotion expense; and the need for sufficient information before making any decision.
