A Town staff report asking Council to extend a three-year pilot program that offered reduced fees for patios and outdoor displays in the BIA s , as well as waiving rental charges for the use of Town-owned lands related to the same, was given the green light to move forward at the Town's March 20 Planning and Development (P & D ) meeting. Next moves to come in 2019 Staff will now report back to Council in 2 0 1 9 on a strategy going forward, for 2 0 2 0 and beyond, for permit fees for patios and outdoor displays in BIA s .

In addition to the permit fees, the pilot program included a waiver of the $ 2 0 per parking stall/day fee for lost parking revenue, where patios extended into parking spaces.
