Parking Permits almost as hard to get as a Blue Bag

Went to city hall today to renew my expired on street parkng pass.  Guess what, they are almost as hard to get as a blue bag.

Went to city hall, was told that "the"  person that handles that is on vacation and they don't know when she will be back.  She was also told that you cant just walk into city hall and ask for these. Very rudely I may add.

How can it be that only one person in all of city hall can handle as simple a task as an on street parking permit?  Shouldn't there be someone trained to handle this task or is to complicated for a city hall worker to grasp.   Also, how can it be that nobody knows when this person works?  

The city is very efficient in giving tickets when you park without a permit in front of your own house.  It would be nice if they where as efficient in actually providing the services that our taxes and blue bag fees pay for.

Can you tell us how to actually get one of these coveted parking permits. I tried to call my Ward 1 Councilor, guess what, her voice mail is full so you cant leave her a message... arrgghhhhhh
