Gulf Shores OKs automated parking systems for three public beaches | Breaking News from the Press-Register - al.com: "GULF SHORES, Ala. -- Solar-powered parking meters will be installed at the city's three largest public beaches this spring, in a change that city officials estimate could generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in the coming years.
The City Council voted unanimously Monday to enter a three-year, $180,000 lease-purchase agreement with California firm VenTek International that will result in eight machines being installed at Gulf-front parking lots, likely sometime in March."
