Councilman Palmer said'we cannot get people downtown by making an increase in the parking fees.
Councilman Reinke said he believed an increase in parking meter fees would increase the City
revenue, however, he stated that those Councilmen who supported the Parking Garages should
support this Ordinance. City Attorney Crumpacker replied that this Ordinance affected only a
small amount of meters. Councilman Allen questioned this statement.
Councilman Wise said he was opposed because "We told the taxpayers they would not be burdened
with the cost of the parking garages and now we turn around and tell them they will have to pay
extra for parking at meters."
Council President Laven left the chair to take the floor to rebut Councilman Wise. He said the
sole reason for raising parking meters was to obtain additional funds to provide service
to the bond issues that will have to be obtained. This increase will provide additional revenue.

inclusion in the bond issue prospectus when the bond Ordinance is presented to the Council
