Hi, Mike; Parking issues are not a Union issue, but when the rumor of discipline is involved it tends to become a concern.
The Union hopes that the city would never discipline or terminate an employee for parking on a city street when no other option is available, especially when the city of Medford Police officers regularly do this and to my knowledge, none has received a parking ticket or been disciplined.
The Union further understands that this is only a temporary issue until the new Police Station is finished and those vehicles will then park in the new garage and more spaces will be available not only to employees but the public as well and that will open up more spaces in the city hall lot.
I do hope we can find a quick solution
