Sec. 4. (a) From time to time the municipality shall make or cause to be made surveys and studies necessary to determine the need for and proper location of parking facilities, giving due consideration to:
(1) the free and safe movement of traffic;
(2) the terminal points and concentration of traffic; and
(3) the adequacy of privately owned parking lots or structures.
(b) This subsection applies only to cities. On the basis of the surveys and studies, recommendations shall be made to the safety board and the legislative body concerning the general location, size, and character of, and probable cost of acquiring and developing, needed parking facilities. The safety board shall consider the recommendations and, if it rejects them, shall state its objections in writing and refer the recommendations back to the persons making them. If the safety board approves the recommendations, it shall adopt a resolution to that effect and submit the recommendations to the legislative body for acceptance or rejection. If the legislative body rejects the recommendations, it shall adopt a resolution stating its objections and refer the recommendations back to the persons making them. If the legislative body approves the recommendations, it shall adopt a resolution to that effect. Upon approval of the recommendations by the legislative body, the city works board may proceed as provided by this chapter, and shall proceed in accordance with the legislative body's direction.
(c) This subsection applies only to towns. If, on the basis of the surveys and studies, the legislative body finds that there is a need for parking facilities of any kind, it shall adopt a resolution to that effect.
