Item 5 Packet Page 35 FISCAL IMPACT Budgeted: Yes Budget Year: 2021 Funding Identified: Yes Fiscal Analysis: Funding Sources Current FY Cost Annualized On-going Cost Total Cost Parking Fund $727,300 $0 $727,300 Total $727,300 $0 $727,300 Staff has projected that the deferral of previously approved rate increases in 2020 will result in a potential loss of $727,300 in parking revenue during FY2021. Fiscal impacts to out-year fund projections has not been determined. ALTERNATIVES Deny adoption of the Ordinance. City Council can choose to deny the adoption of the amendments to Municipal Code section 10.52.010. Staff does not recommend this alternative because the amendments are part of the City’s economic revitalization efforts and the fiscal impacts of the deferrals can be absorbed by the Parking Fund’s working balance.
