Newly adopted commission bylaws
The Commission discussed updates to its own by-laws — internal rules on how it operates.

The new parking app contract sparked debate: Martin voted no, saying shoppers deserve free parking; staff countered that two hours stay free and VPD funds will eventually repave lots. A resident described five tickets in three months.
