TransportationCommission | 2016-05-25 | 10 | George K. replied the homeowners do not have to pay for the sticker because with their existing staff they would administer the sticker program for both public and private streets to make this as painless as possible on the City and their administrative workload. He said to make this as palatable as possible in order to get the all of the HOAs on board they would make this cost free for them and they can absorb the fees in their existing cost structure. He stated that currently they have 40 employees composed of security and administration and they can do this. Commissioner Vargas asked about the ordinance and the map that was presented earlier. He said two HOAs have public streets and three HOAs have private streets. So, he wanted to know if the addition that is proposed within the ordinance applies to the three HOAs that have the private streets or does that apply to both. Kevin Connolly replied the way the amended ordinance is written that would only apply to HOAs Headlines and Columbia because they are public streets within those two HOAs. So, the ordinance does not affect the HOAs with private streets. Commissioner Vargas said a homeowner brought to his attention the seat clarification in Item C of the ordinance, which highlights that a 55 percent vote was required by the residents to make changes to the parking and with the new addition in blue and red text that the voting would be done by the HOAs. Thus, he wanted to know if that one vote now trumps the other vote. Kevin Connolly replied there is a proposed amendment that does not require the petition, but requires the HOA boards' approval. So, he highlighted that the next step is not residential parking permit implementation, but having Public Works evaluate the ability to implement permit parking and then make its own recommendations on whether residential parking permits should be issued. He explained the next step is a triggering mechanism and the best representatives of the neighborhood is the HOA board who has legal authority. Commissioner Vargas stated that since this is a new element in the ordinance could this be evaluated after one year or so after implementation to see how the program is working. Kevin Connolly replied he and Jennifer Ott discussed this and evaluating the program makes sense to them. Commissioner Bertken was looking at the three components of the plan and the element of reliable transit service and improved AC Transit service line means staff should have more outreach meetings with AC Transit before January 2017. He also explained that staff should also review opportunities for remote parking and shuttle services. He felt it would be nice to have the information during this period to show that losing patronage has been observed and taken into consideration. Kevin Connolly said the current approval is for the concept to move forward and Jennifer Ott is in constant contact with AC Transit on this issue. Commissioner Bertken replied the concept does not say a lot regarding outreach. Jennifer Ott replied they have had a number of conversations with AC Transit and WETA about Page 10 of 17 | TransportationCommission/2016-05-25.pdf |
