AUBURN — By a 4-3 vote Tuesday night, the Auburn Common Council denied a controversial zoning change to permit apartments on the city’s near east side.
The city now charges a $10 fine for parking longer than two hours in a downtown space.
City attorney W. Erik Weber said Thursday he will draft a new parking-fine ordinance for reaction by police and the mayor before presenting it to the Auburn Common Council for approval.
Weber spoke after the Auburn Board of Works voted Thursday to pay $9,008 for a handheld, computer-like device to be used for enforcing parking limits.
The proposed amount for a higher fine was not specified.
âWe want to bump it up to where it gets their attention a little bit,â Police Chief Doug Harp said after the meeting.
AUBURN â Downtown Auburn could have a makeover in its future, Mayor Mike Ley revealed Tuesday.
Ley is planning a program to replace sidewalks and curbs in all downtown areas that need them, he told the Auburn Common Council at a meeting in City Hall.
Ley said his administration will be refining the plan over the next couple of months.
The new sidewalks would include inlaid decorative pavers, trees and tree grates, benches and bicycle racks, he said.
The project could be funded by the city Redevelopment Commission with tax-increment revenue, which uses taxes on new development. The city recently added the downtown to zones where the money can be spent.
