The council had been undecided on when it would install parking meters and implement paid parking in the city.
The city passed an $855,000 bond ordinance for the meters last June and outlined a plan where all the meters would be placed. The original plan was to have them installed and running by mid-July, 2012, but that never happened.

The city has the meters in storage and that they are ready to be installed if the city decides to use them next summer.
