The current hourly parking limitations discourage patronizing the businesses since it is common for people to spend the entire day on the beach and they typically bring their own food and refreshments. The results are trash is left for City employees to clean up and they do not frequent the beach restaurants. He requested members of the Commission consider instituting a three hour time limit in the central beach area and requested staff research the issue. Cathy Swanson-Rivenbark, City Manager, stated staff can provide a memo in response to the request of Commissioner Biederman.
