(KLZA)--The Falls City Council had two parking requests on the agenda Monday evening.
The first was a request from the Richardson County Commissioners for two handicapped parking stalls on the south side of the Richardson County Courthouse and to designate two parking stalls on the north side of the building for law enforcement.
Council member Derek Leyden raised concerns about already existing parking issues in the area. Leyden noted a large number of workers in the downtown area park on Stone Street as well as courthouse employees parking around the courthouse.
Leyden suggested perhaps the Sheriff's Office could utilize the off-street parking lot spots used by the Department when the Sheriff's Office was located at the courthouse.
The request is due in part to the Sheriff's Department providing security at the courthouse and for court sessions, and a proposal to have just one entrance to the courthouse for the public.
Leyden suggested it might be an option to designate two parking spots on the east side of the courthouse along Highway 73.
The request was tabled until the March 19th Council meeting.
The Council did approve a request from South School Principal J.P. Holys for no parking on the south side of 10th Street from Fulton Street east to the alley.
