Downtown Ald. Brendan Reilly, 42nd, called on the city to do a better job of making sure the TV companies pay for the value of any metered parking spots that are taken out of service during shoots. Otherwise, the city ends up having to pay a “true-up” fee to the company that leased the meters. This year, the true-up to Chicago Parking Meters LLC is set to be about $20 million, though much of that comes from events other than television productions, like street festivals or construction projects.
