Direct staff to schedule a study session regarding parking enforcement, to discuss the two neighborhoods currently not in compliance with street sweeping; the designated two-hour parking; and paid-parking

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously directed staff to schedule a study session on parking enforcement issues affecting residents. The session will focus on two neighborhoods that aren't following street sweeping rules, problems with two-hour parking limits, and paid parking policies. This matters because parking citations can be expensive for residents, and the council wants to understand how the current system works before making any changes to enforcement or assistance programs for people who can't afford fines. The study session is a fact-finding meeting, not a decision on new policies.
