Friday update

At Monday’s Lake Orion Village Council meeting, council members will receive public comment regarding Ordinance 7.11, a proposal that would allow the development of shorter term parking in downtown Lake Orion sometime in the future.
According to Village Manager JoAnn Van Tassel, the current parking ordinance allows for two-hour parking in downtown, and Ordinance 7.11 would permit the Village Council to adopt shorter parking if they choose to do so down the road.
The adoption of Ordinance 7.11, which may occur at Monday’s meeting, will not develop any short term parking spots, but merely, as Village Attorney Gary Dovre said, give council ‘an ordinance on the books to facilitate it.?
It would require a separate council resolution, identifying designated spaces and a time limit, for the development of any short term parking spots in downtown, and while this may be looked at sometime in the future, it will not be considered at Monday’s meeting.
The Lake Orion Village Council meeting will begin Monday (July 23) at 7:30 p.m. in Village Hall.
