Currently, the City issues permits at n charge with the only restriction being that workers get in and out of vehicles regularly. Of course this is a difficult requirement to enforce. The following Is a list of permits issued from April 1991 through June of 1992: I week permits 44 2 week permits 115 1 day permits 101 2 day permits 28 3. day permits 11 4 day permits 12 Total 311 The current system provides little incentive for parking spaces to be used only when necessary and for the shortest time frame necessary. Parking spaces are a valuable commodity to businesses located in the downtown area. A fee for the use of such spaces should encourage contactors to minimize the amount of use and return the spaces to vstomers and clients in downtown Bangor. A seven (7) dollar dally fee is recommended. This proposal was presented to the Bangor Center Management Corporation Board (BCMC) for their consideration. The BCBC Board recommended that the first 3 days should be free with the fee applicable for any days beyond that. The proposed Order reflects this recommendation.
