Fiscal Note
The proposed ordinance amendment would allow Parks Division staff to administratively approve street use permits for routine requests for meter bags when the request is not for a full street closure. There is no anticipated fiscal impact.
Title
Amending Section 10.056(5)(b)5. of the Madison General Ordinances to allow administrative approval of a street use permit application to close on-street parking meter space(s) as permitted by sec. 12.1425, MGO.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: The Street Use Ordinance currently requires almost all applications for street use permits to come before the Street Use Staff Commission for approval at a public meeting. This amendment would allow Parks Division staff to administratively approve street use permits for routine requests for meter bags under MGO 12.1425(3)(a)2., when the request is not for a full street closure. The Traffic Engineering Division issues meter bags and this ordinance does not change that process or the reasons for which a person can obtain a parking meter bag.
