Council, Please remember that those of us that are in their late 70s to mid 80s are not often able to walk the
distance from the city parking garages to their destination.
Thank you , Jayne Behman

owners and community members who took so much of their personal time to engage in the Parking Study and
ultimately offer their support for Option B. This option ensures the city can pay debt service, preserve a
balanced budget, and offer the lowest hourly rates. I look forward to a robust discussion on Tuesday. I also
want to let you know that the first hour of parking in the garages is currently free as well as all day Sunday. I’m
hopeful that we’ll land on a decision that respects the hard work done by our community.
