On December 12, 2023, the City, through oral motion, moved for a moratorium on enforcement of parking infractions in the downtown area.  The moratorium was for two months, which expired on February 10, 2024.  The City Council held a study session to receive public input on downtown parking issues on January 23, 2024.  At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to bring back a resolution extending the moratorium an additional 60 days. The current moratorium expires on April 19, 2024. 

This extension would extend the current moratorium until the end of May—May 31st.  That date is after the ordinance changes go into effect, and also provides a good start date for purchasing parking permits for city-owned parking lots, as well as messaging to the public that the parking rules will be enforced starting June 1st.
