Summary

The St. James Township Board discussed a proposed ordinance governing downtown rental-car parking, intended to keep limited parking available. After concerns were raised about the lack of alternative spaces and operational needs, the Board decided not to pass the ordinance until solutions could be offered.

Evidence and limits

The minutes establish discussion and non-adoption at that meeting. They do not establish a later ordinance, an alternative parking site, enforcement, an outcome for downtown parking congestion, or a completed Master Plan recommendation.
