City Hall to discuss gov’t advice on parking meter deal Wednesday

Weeks after Mayor of Georgetown Patricia Chase-Green said City Hall will act on government advice on the controversial parking meter deal, a meeting has finally been set for the city council to discuss the matter.

A source told Stabroek News that the Mayor and City Council (M&CC)  would this Wednesday debate the findings of two central government reviews on the contentious parking system contract at a special meeting. The source said that councillors and officers received the notice of the meeting during the course of last week.

Earlier this month, Chase-Green had said that it is her administration’s intention to work towards fulfilling the recommendations of central government with regard to the controversial parking meter contract between the city and Smart City Solutions Inc (SCS). However, the meeting to discuss the matter did not happen.
