“Thank you so much. Thank you, Lieutenant, Commander, and of course, Chief. Thank you for this presentation, and I hope that our community watches it. This is something that we don't talk about.

“All right, I guess I'll go ahead. So you've gotten really good feedback from council and I agree with 99.9% of it. So option one, yes, let's raise the fees to two hours for Lakeshore and Lake Central. Option two, I support I would do all waterfront parks, and I agree with the feedback you received to make it consistent that it's $2 an hour so that the parking fee is consistent through all. I'm looking at this in phases, as in that's what we would do in 27, which is increase the fees downtown, add the waterfront parks, and then 28, I agree with Council Member Paschal about the curb management…”
