Vote on Meters Sparks Court Bouts and Dec 19 Removal Plan
The dispute over parking meters led to two court losses for merchants while Mayor Relch and the council pushed an election. Voters opposed meters, and Monday's meeting showed unanimous intent to follow those results. A plan to remove meters on December 19 was proposed to satisfy the meter company and citizens amid limited village finances for parking enforcement.

Committee of Fifteen Thanks All Who Aided in Election
The Committee of Fifteen, a group of Madison street merchants, held a meeting to thank the public for turnout and support for meters. They appointed a sub committee to work with the Safety and Traffic commission to arrange off the street parking and urged continued meter enforcement through December 19. They noted street parking funding could help the village budget, with meters contributing revenue after repayment.
