More restrictions on students parking around high school October 11, 2017, 10:51 amAt an August 8 city council meeting, several residents complained of problems with students parking. One resident had a preschool and was concerned about the safety of her students because she had "continuous" problems with people parking in front of her home and business. Mel Radmall said that the police department had been inconsistent in regulating parking in the area. Mayor James Hadfield said he had been contacted by several residents about the matter. The city was pursuing the matter because it is a public safety issue, he said. The city was working with the district to better the situation, including an improved layout of the parking lot, Hadfield said. The council was presented with an ordinance that would designate areas of preferential resident parking within a quarter mile of the school. Councilmember Kevin Barnes said that he would support the ordinance as long as it was strictly enforced. The city has had a problem passing ordinances and not enforcing them, he said. Councilman Carlton Bowen stated that too many passes were issued to students. He said he would like to see the council designate parking spots. The council approved the new ordinance 4-1 with Bowen voting against it.
