The Common Council met 10/18/2023. One of the items on the agenda was the request from Appleton Downtown Incorporated for the city to provide free ramp and meter parking on Small Business Saturday, November 25, 2023.
This item was approved unanimously with no discussion by the Municipal Services Committee on 10/09/2023, but Alderperson Sheri Hartzheim (District 13) asked for it to be referred back to the committee for further discussion. She has indicated on her aldermanic blog that she would like to have more details about how offering free parking would impact the city’s parking utility which has experienced financial struggles over the last few years.
Alderperson Hartzheim was not the only person who wanted to refer the item back to committee. Alderperson Katie Van Zeeland (District 5) indicated that she also had wanted to refer it back.
