161 <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards questioned if we should consider indexing increases to keep up with <br />the cost to administer the program. Ms. Richards said she would like to see a regular <br />review of the fees. <br /> <br />Mr. Caravati suggested that the issue be discussed during the budget. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards said that people on fixed incomes find it difficult to pay the <br />increase, but noted that the ordinance includes a provision for relief for those who qualify <br />for rent or tax relief. <br /> <br /> Responding to questions from Mr. Caravati, Mr. Tolbert said that more than <br />$30,000 is generated by frees for illegally parking in permit parking zones, and said that <br />most of the multi-family units that are grandfathered, with regard to the number of <br />permits they can receive, are small and have been operating for years with no problems. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox asked if the increase in fees will now cover the administrative cost of the <br />program, and Mr. Tolbert said no, and noted that the fines go into the General Fund. Mr. <br />Cox said he agrees that there should be a way to index the fees. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards said that Council could adopt the philosophical view that the City <br />should simply subsidize the program through the General Fund rather than charging for <br />permits. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch said he would agree with that idea. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano noted that the money to administer the program would then need to <br />be found elsewhere in the budget. <br /> <br /> Mr. Craig asked Council to amend' the ordinance to include a multi-family unit <br />that will be grandfathered. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Toscano, seconded by Ms. Richards, the ordinance was <br />amended to include a unit on Cherry Avenue by the following vote. Ayes: Mr. Caravati, <br />Mr. Cox, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Richards, Mr. Toscano.
