CityCouncil | 2019-09-03 | 18 | Mayor Knox White responded in the affirmative. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she would support the motion if it is amended to have the meeting end at midnight. Councilmember Oddie seconded the motion with the amendment to end at midnight, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 4. [Absent: Councilmember Vella - 1.] (19-485) Recommendation to Provide Direction to Increase Parking Enforcement Resources to Support Parking and Transportation Management Goals. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director and Public Works Coordinator gave a Power Point presentation. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether there will be a decrease in revenue, to which the Planning, Building and Transportation Director responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Oddie inquired where the revenue would increase under Option 2 or 3. The Public Works Coordinator responded revenue targets will be realized with complete enforcement; stated parking revenue has declined over the years, and with proper enforcement at a compliance rate of 75%, revenue will stabilize and meet the projections of $2,000,000 annually. Councilmember Oddie inquired about the $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 number listed in the staff report. The Public Works Coordinator responded those figures are looking out at the future parking supply; the projection is shown at the existing rates for existing time limits, not accounting for more advanced parking management such as dynamic pricing. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director stated the parking program needs to pay for itself; revenues must cover expenses; costs can be covered in any of the options; the question is whether the parking program will eventually generate revenue or solely cover costs; outlined transportation related funding opportunities should the parking program generate revenue. Councilmember Daysog inquired the total cost of Option 3 includes long term pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liabilities. The Public Works Coordinator responded said projection has not been done; stated staff can take direction to bring back estimates.
