This informal report provides information on provision of parking at no direct cost for citizens scheduled to
speak at City Council morning sessions.
Houston Street Garage
The Municipal Parking Fund established a coupon program so that City department's may purchase
coupons for their guests for scheduled board and committee meetings. In the case of Morning Council
meetings, it is proposed that the City Manager's Office will purchase and distribute the coupons to the
scheduled speakers as identified by the City Secretary's Office.
The instructions for parking at Morning Council will be placed on the City Secretary's website page where
instructions are already in place for citizens to register as a speaker. The parking instructions will lay out
the required steps for scheduled speakers to park in the Houston Street garage without charge. The
registered speakers will be required to pull a ticket upon entrance to the garage and then upon attendance
in Council the citizen can present the ticket to the designated City Manager's Office staff who will confirm
citizen's identification via the City Secretary's Office speaker's list and then a coupon will be provided for
exiting the garage.
The FY2018 Parking Garage Audit completed by the Department of Internal Audit recommended
consistency in the sequencing of coupons issued as well as ensuring compliance across departments
relative to issuance and billing of coupons.
If you have any questions, please contact Lauren Prieur, Interim Transportation and Public Works
Director, at (817) 392-6035.
