She said at the time we took over the Pier Park parking lot <br />those rates were established by Newport, it was run by them privately at $6.00 a day during <br />the week and $10.00 on the weekend, when we took over that lot, we continued to use their <br />already established rates. Now that we are transferring those to metered machines per this <br />Ordinance we should be charging $1.00 an hour, based on the revenues that we have received <br /> <br />3 <br />
