Parking Available in Civic Center Garage
If you are attending the City Council Retreat and have parked in the Civic Center Parking Garage, free parking is available.
When you enter the garage, you will need to pull a ticket. When you either enter or leave the Council retreat, please see Maggie Burleson for the free parking sticker (barcode).
Once you get the “free barcode” you may wish to stick it on the back of the original ticket.
When you leave the Civic Center Parking Garage, you must first scan the barcode on the original ticket – then scan the barcode that you received at the Council Retreat. The “second scan” will tell the fee computer to let you out for free.
