This configuration at times limits the ability customers and visitors to the downtown area to find convenient parking, causing 1 to both local businesses and their customers. To resolve this issue Council approved a new parking automation system at the fa� March 25, 2015. The installation of this new equipment is scheduled for the week c with the tentative plan for the system to be fully operational by August 17, 2015. Ir the second floor access gate will be removed completely, which will open up the the facility for general public parking. In the interim, there will be some temporary interruptions in services and access fo� parking customers until the completion of the project. One of the two access gat inaccessible for part of the day while the contractor installs the new equipment. F your employees (if applicable) of the upcoming work so they know what to expec Once this system is active, the new fee structure, also approved during the March Council Meeting, will take effect. The rate increase in daily and monthly fees is de defray the cost of the upgrade to the automation system. This is the first increase ir the parking garage in over 20 years. The new fees include an increase in the mon $30.00 per month, which we will begin charging to our monthly cardholder custor� on the September 2015 billing statement.
