A public hearing will be held regarding implementation discussions of the pay-to-park that was passed last October at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25 at Village Hall, located at 11617 Garfield Rd. It is being implemented to cover the rising costs of having police, fire and EMS.
“We’ll talk about how it will work. We want to educate everybody,” Mayor Anne Haynam said. “It’s essentially a system for enforcement. This is not going to be a meter system. It will be through an app on your smartphone. Is it going to be $10 a day? Is it going to be $2 an hour? Do we have 2-hour free parking at the parks? Those details are still being discussed. We’re looking for input, too.”
