“NO PARKING” FOR STREET SWEEPERS Councilmember Ruhstaller has requested consideration for “No Parking” for the street sweepers. Sunrise collects solid waste in this area every Tuesday so the streets would be swept every other Wednesday. Kevin Basso, with Sunrise Sanitation, indicated that if we limit the “No Parking” from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. that would provide enough flexibility for the sweeper company.

“NO PARKING” FOR STREET SWEEPERS It is recommended at this time not to support the proposal regarding street sweeping based on the following reasons: The ordinance may need to be revised. The neighbors should be polled. Precedent setting. Lack of Police enforcement resources. If the City Council wants to explore this concept, it should be referred to a Council Committee for discussion/recommendation

RECOMMENDATION Adopt an ordinance for preferential parking areas within the City of Stockton Adopt a resolution amending the Citywide/Public Works Fee Schedule to include preferential parking permits Adopt a resolution establishing preferential parking within the Caldwell Village area
