Two Full Time Officers Added To Help Monitor Parking Meters

In an effort to boost revenue, the City of Dubuque is increasing the number of hours city employees spend monitoring parking meters and writing tickets. City Council members this week voted unanimously to eliminate three of the city’s six part-time parking enforcement officer positions and replace them with two full-time positions. With two full-time officers, the city both will boost its parking revenue and assist small businesses downtown by ensuring that nearby parking spots do not remain occupied for prolonged periods of time.
