City council votes to keep two-hour free parking limit downtown
Paso Robles City Council meeting highlights from June 6
– At its Tuesday meeting, Paso Robles City Council received a 90-day review of the Downtown On-Street Parking Program and took action to extend the contract with Flowbird to manage the parking app and kiosk software with no changes to the two free hours for parking (after registering a license plate) and $2 per hour after that.
Councilmembers Chris Bausch and Steve Gregory will sit on a limited-duration ad hoc committee with support from the city’s parking coordinator to discuss the future of downtown parking. Ad hoc findings will be brought back to the council by Sept. 2023.
The council also did the following:
- Read a proclamation in honor of Juneteenth.
- Received a presentation from Amtrak on its San Joaquin services.
- Received the annual update from the utilities department, reporting on recently completed projects and activities in the city’s water, wastewater and recycled water divisions
- Received the annual update from the public works department reporting on completed street repairs and upcoming street and infrastructure projects.
- Held a public hearing for the annual levy of Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 and Drainage Maintenance District 2008-1 and approved staff’s recommendations for annual levy and service increases or decreases, depending on resident votes in each subarea.
This is a subset of items considered by the council. The full agenda can be found at www.prcity.com/meetings.
