NOTICE TO COMMUTERS
ON JUNE 79 2004 THE VILLAGE BOARD ADOPTED ORDINANCE NO.
2004 -50 THAT LOWERS THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE
BIMONTHLY PARKING CONVENIENCE PASS FROM $60.00 TO $50.00
EFFECTIVE JULY 19 2004. WHILE THE BIMONTHLY FEE IS
REDUCED, THE FEES CURRENTLY IN PLACE WHEN A PASS IS
PURCHASED ON A PRO -RATED BASIS SHALL REMAIN THE SAME.
LASTLY, THE $1.50/DAY FEE CONTINUES IN EFFECT.
WE BELIEVE THAT THIS REDUCTION WILL PERMIT A GREATER
NUMBER OF COMMUTERS TO UTILIZE THE CONVENIENCE PASS
PROGRAM. WHILE THIS ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED WITH THE
INTENT OF RETAINING THE FEE THROUGH CALENDAR 2005, IT
WILL BE REVIEWED OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS TO DETERMINE
IF THE ASSUMPITONS BEHIND THE RECOMMENDATION TO
REDUCE THE FEE REMAIN JUSTIFIED.
WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS CHANGE.
THANK YOU.
