Harmony Over Meter Meters Spur Mount Dora Merchants Meeting
Mount Dora officials and merchants held a Monday night session led by Mayor Lou L. Heaton to resolve protests over courtesy envelopes used with new parking meters. Al Rehbaum Jr proposed sending a directive explaining the envelopes as a friendly notice, with envelopes bearing “POLICE CHECK” and a message about overparking and returning the nickel. The meeting cited support from some merchants who found public sentiment favorable while others objected to the imposition, and Heaton defended the plan as leveling the tax burden on merchants.
