The recommendations of Downtown Parking Advisory Committees appointed by the Council in 1997, 2000
and 2001 demonstrated! that regular comprehensive reviews are useful in maintaining effective
administrative and enforcement policies with respect to downtown parking. The Committee formed in
2000 recommended that prices be evaluated annually, and creation of a special purpose committee
comprising council, staff, and downtown constituencies has proven to be an effetive method for
accomplishing that task.
