Subject: Temporary Reduction in Daily Parking Fees for 2010 Season
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
Due to the continued economic climate, the potential for higher fuel costs and lower disposable
income to discourage visitors from visiting Seward for recreation and business purposes, the Council

summer season. The budgeted daily parking lot fee reduction in half, of daily parking lot fees which
would set the fee at $5 per space, per day. As in the 2009, the resolution is slated to sunset on
December 31, 2010, at which times the daily fee will revert back to $10 per space per day, per
Attachment A.
