It's the first time parking rates have been raised since 2014. City council approved the rate increase Wednesday, citing several factors.

According to the city, 2G meters need to be updated to 4G technology. Additionally, extra money will help maintain parking lots and fund other general repairs. The city also noted that it has received complaints about the condition of meters.
