It could cost a little more to park in downtown Charleston if city council moves forward with a proposal to raise meter fees.
Right now, the city's on-street parking meters allow motorists to pay 50 cents an hour to park for a maximum of two hours.
An amendment introduced to council Tuesday would change the rate to 25 cents for 15 minutes, still for a maximum two hours.
That would mean instead of $1 for two hours of parking, downtown visitors could end up paying double that.
The new rate would apply to single-space parking meters in the area bordered by Broad Street on the east, Kanawha Boulevard on the south, the Elk River on the west and Piedmont Road on the north, according to the amendment.
The amendment will be referred to the parking and finance committees for approval before council votes on it, City Manager David Molgaard said.
In other business, council:
--Approved an amendment to the city's zoning ordinance to include a requirement that bars and nightclubs must be licensed and "in good standing" with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Administration and that the bar does not cause a "nuisance" to the area.
At-large council member Mary Jean Davis said the amendment, along with others, have been needed since the ordinance's adoption in 2005.
--Appointed Charleston attorney Troy Giatras to the board of the city's convention and visitors' bureau, with his initial term to expire in February 2012.
--Announced Trick or Treat will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 29 in all city of Charleston neighborhoods.
