At the January 8, 2024, City Council meeting, the fee schedule was amended and approved. The resulting fee structure has become overly complicated and contains too many different price brackets. The City of Seward would like to revert back to the original pricing from the previous year. This would also be beneficial to measuring the success of the new T2 Upsafety parking enforcement software that is making its debut in 2024. Along with reverting the permit prices back, the city would also like to offer Seward residents the option to purchase seasonal passes at the discounted rate of $50. Lowering these costs would benefit locals and offset the need for 0-2 hours free parking in the North and South lots. The obscure and seldom-used $350 Commercial Vehicle permit that allowed for unlimited parking in the Center Parking Lot shall be discontinued altogether.
