Analysis
This ordinance updates various sections of the code to reflect the installation of multi-space parking meters and space markers. The ordinance adds the cost, if necessary, of relocating a multi-space parking to the costs covered if a multi-space parking meter is removed for the installation of a loading zone and establishes a fee to cover the costs of labor, materials and overhead, and if necessary the costs of relocating a multi-space meter that is removed for facilities other than a loading zones.
This ordinance also establishes the fee for the temporary removal of each multi-space parking meter at an amount to cover the costs of labor, materials and overhead and reinstallation of the meter. The fee for the temporary removal of single-space parking meters or space markers remains at $60 per metered space.
Finally, the ordinance adds space markers to the list of items that items related to direct selling are prohibited from touching, leaning against or be permanently or temporarily affixed to, and establishes a penalty for any person who, without lawful authority, removes or damages any space marker within the limits of the city of Milwaukee of less than $50 nor more than $500 or, upon default of payment, imprisonment in the house of correction for not more than 30 days.
