Frederick considers higher meter and parking deck rates
Frederick officials discuss raises for meters and the downtown parking deck at a Wednesday workshop. Steve Johnson proposes 50 cents hourly meters, 25 cent half hours, and 10 cent 12 minutes with 5 cents six minutes. Parking deck would rise to 50 cents hourly through hour six, max 3 dollars, with night and weekend rates at 1 dollar. Johnson cites downtown employee parking and rate discrepancies as source of problems and urges higher fines to 5 dollars, 2 dollar discount if paid within 24 hours.

No relief seen for property owners in tight budget year
Frederick County commissioners warn against lowering the property tax amid a slowing economy and budget deficits. They anticipate raising the tax rate if they act, while the state sets a $2.02 yield to keep revenues steady. With an 8.4 percent rise in assessable base, maintaining the rate would boost receipts though plans show a $2 million new county revenue for 1992.
