Item No. 92-435
Date Auuuat 27, 1992
Item/Subject: Order establishing Fees for Contractor and Dumpster
Parking Permits in Downtown Parking Management Area
Responsible Department: Police Department
Commentary:
The Parking Enforcement Division proposes that the City of Bangor
implement a fee for use of parking spaces in the downtown parking
management area by contractors who park construction vehicles and
dumpsters on the street. 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.
