Analyze the desirability and effects of maintaining the linkage between garage fees and meter rates b. Meet with the stakeholders who would be affected by possible garage fee increases C. Return to the Council in fall 2002 with recommendations for possible garage fee increases that would take effect.at the same time as scheduled meter rate increases On January 1, 2003 hourly meter rates for the City were adjusted from 70 cents in the core and 50 cents in other areas to 80 cents and 60 cents per hour respectively. This increase was pursuant to Ordinances No.1099 (1987 Series), 1194 (1991 Series), and 1233 (1993 Series) which periodically adjusted and pre- approved meter rates at five-year intervals up to January 1, 2003. The above garage rate increases are being recommended to coincide with the meter increases to maintain some level of parity between meter rates and ( - l Council Agenda Report: Parking Rate Increases-2003-04 Page 2 hourly garage rates and to assure adequate future revenue is available for continued development of off-street parking facilities. Historically, there has been some correlation between the core meter rates and hourly garage rates, with the garage rates set slightly lower in order to encourage drivers to use garages rather than on-street parking spaces. This variance was also initially established to increase the occupancy rate of the garages,which were underutilized in the early 90's. With the advent of the Downtown Center in 1994-95 and an ever-increasing economically vital downtown, there is no longer a need to provide a"large incentive" for people to use the garages. The recent completion of the Marsh Street Garage project is a testament to the high demand for more garage spaces. The recommendation is to phase rate increases over the next 18 months, which are reflected in the following table: Current April 1,2003 July 1,2004 Palm Garage Hourly rate $0.50 $0.60 $0.75 Daily maximum $5.00 $6.00 $750 Monthly rate $40:00 $50.00 $60.00 Marsh Garage Hourly rate $0.50 $0.60 $0.75 Daily maximum $5.00 $6.00 $7.50 Monthly rate $50.00 $60.00 $75.00 Daily lot and Meter permits Daily fees Lots 9 and 14 $1.00 $1.25 $1.50 Monthly Lot 14 $25.00 $30.00 $40.00 Monthly long-term meter $25.00 $30.00 $40.00 A 20 percent increase would be applied to the garages and lot permits effective April 1, 2003. The second phase would implement a 25 percent increase to all rates effective July 1, 2004. This phased approach offers the advantage of increasing rates in smaller increments as opposed to a larger one-time rate increase. The 60 cents per hour for the garages will match the lower meter rate that was increased on January 1, 2003. The hourly garage rate of 75 cents per hour, slightly lower than the core 80 cents per hour, is more of a matter of efficiency for the booth attendant and convenience for the customer to charge garage rates in 25 cent increments. Both of the recommended garage rate increases are within the average rate ($0.93.per hour and $7.34 per day) for the survey cities that we typically use for comparison purposes (Attachment 2). Finally, maintaining parity between the meter rates and garage rates will become increasingly important as the City continues to convert high revenue-generating surface parking lots to garage parking spaces. As it stands now, revenue from parking lots and parking fines subsidizes parking garage patrons. In the future as the surface lots become fewer, the garages will need to become self-sufficient. The recommended proxcard increases keep with the differential rate format that was approved by Council in May 2001. Maintaining a lower monthly rate at Palm will continue to encourage more long-term use at this facility, as well as match the percentage increase for the Marsh Garage monthly rate. The lot permits and long-term meter permits and daily rate increases are being recommended to proportionately keep up with the 1 - 9, Council Agenda Report: Parking Rate Increases-2003-04 Page 3 meter and garage rates, but still offer an incentive to downtown employees to continue to use the peripheral meters and parking lots. The April 1, 2003 implementation date for the proxcards and monthly permits is being recommended because these permits are billed quarterly through the Finance Department. Quarterly billings are sent out 30 days prior to their due date, so any increase would need to be approved prior to the normal mailing date(March) for the quarterly bills. Meet with Stakeholders At its November 8, 2002 meeting, the Parking and Access Committee of the San Luis Obispo Downtown Association(SLODA)took the following actions: 1. Supported the planned meter rate increase for core and outlying areas; and 2. Approved a motion to defer the other pending rate increases so that more SLODA review and study can be undertaken before a formal position is derived for the other proposed rate increases. The motion was also considered by the Board of Directors at their November 12, 2002 meeting,whereby the Board supported the Parking Committee's recommendation to defer the proposed rate increases until the stakeholders can undertake more study. On December 3, 2002, staff met with the Executive Board of the Downtown Association to discuss ways to gain consensus for the proposed rate increases. The result of this meeting was the recommended phased approach for the various rate increases. The phased approach shall be presented to the full DA Board at their monthly meeting on January 14 and support is expected. The minutes of the meeting will be provided to Council prior to the January 21 meeting. The Chamber of Commerce also has been informed of the recommended rate increases and they too support the recommended course of action for increasing parking rates for the coming months. At the January 2002, Council meeting, when parking in-lieu fee increases were being considered, a new group of property owners was announced with the purpose of providing additional revenue streams to the Parking Fund in order to finance additional structures. Staff has not heard from this group since that meeting and has not made contact with them to discuss these proposed rate changes. Parking patrons are the true stakeholders as they provide the sole source of revenue to the parking fund. In order to provide outreach to these stakeholders, staff has posted information posters in the parking garage exit booths inviting comments and participation at tonight's Council meeting. CONCURRENCES The Finance Director concurs with the recommendations in order to keep the Parking Fund solvent and retain its ability to fund future parking garages. The Downtown Association Executive Board and Chamber of Commerce also concur with this recommendation. Full board support from the Downtown Association is expected at their January 14 meeting. 1- 3 Council Agenda Report: Parking Rate Increases-2003-04 Page 4 FISCAL IMPACT During the Parldng Fund review that was presented to Council in June 2002, it was concluded that current rates plus scheduled future increases plus accumulated working capital balance could cover all operating expenses, capital outlays and debt service obligations from 2002-03 through 2006-07 (Attachment 3). However, after building the North Area Regional Facility (NARF), increases in debt services would create annual deficits of$1.6 million in 2005-06 and $1.2 million in 2006-07 that would make the Parldng Fund insolvent by 2008-09. To offset this eventual insolvency, financing the NARF and/or other parking facilities would require increased revenues to be implemented in the near term. The most probable increase was to link parking garage fees to parking meter rates so some level of panty was maintained. The following tables project the increased revenues that could be generated from the proposed rate increases for April 1, 2003 and July 1,2004. Table 1: Recommended Parking Rate Increases April 2003 Item Current Recommend Annual Revenue 1. Increase hourly rate in parking garages $0.50 $0.60 *$93,000 2. Increase daily max.charge in garages $5.00 $6.00 *$5,000 3. Increase proxcard rate at Palm Garage $40 $50 4. Increase proxcard rate at Marsh Garage $50 $60 *$27,000 5. Increase monthly lot and meter permits $25 $30 Increase daily lot charge $1.00 $1.25 *$25,000 *Estimated revenues for period April 1,2003 to June 30,2004 Total $150,000 Table 2: Recommended Parking Rate Increases July 2004 Item April 2003 Recommend Annual Revenue 1. Increase hourly rate in parking garages $0.60 $0.75 $112,000 2. Increase daily max. charge in garages $6.00 $7.50 $7,500 3. Increase proxcard rate at Palm Garage $50 $60 4. Increase proxcard rate at Marsh Garage $60 $75 $33,000 5. Increase monthly lot and meter permits $30 $40 Increase daily lot charge $1.25 $1.50 $31,000 Total $183,500 Implementing the above phased rates would allow the Parking Fund to maintain its solvency by eliminating the projected $1.6 million deficit by 2008-09 based on the projected annual revenue stream of over$300,000 from the proposed increases. As a result, future operating expenses and debt services for planned projects can be achieved at a modest pace if the recommended increases are implemented in the immediate future as 14 i Council Agenda Report: Parldng Rate Increases-2003-04 Page 5 opposed to postponing rate increases to some future date, whereby a more dramatic "catch-up" increase would be required to construct future garages. Furthermore, pursuant to Municipal Code 10.52.010 (Parking meter zone-Rates) January 1, 2003 is the last pre-approved meter rate increase. Historically the meters have increased in 10-cent intervals every five years as set forth in previous ordinances. The recommended garage rate increases will establish some level of parity with the last approved meter rate increase. Based on current projections for planned projects,the meter rate and proposed garage rate increases will meet the required revenue stream for the next six years and beyond. As such, no new pre-approved meter increase is being proposed at this time. This approach will allow future meter and garage rate increases to be addressed as the need arises, rather than on a preset schedule. ALTERNATIVES The City Council may choose to modify or defer one or more of the recommended rate increases and/or request additional information from staff.

Proceeds from a bond issue in the amount of 24.9 on will finance appropriations for land acquisition,design,aad construction of NARF. Conclusions From the worksheet Public Works has drawn the following conclusions: I. Current parking rates plus scheduled future increases plus accumulated working capital balances could cover all planned operating expenses, capital outlays, and debt service obligations from 2002-03 through 2006-07, although debt service on the NARF project would drastically reduce working capital balances in the last two years.. 2. After building the NARF, increases in debt service would cause annual expenditures to exceed annual revenues by $1.6 million in 2005-06 and $1.2 million in 2006-07. Continuing to operate with these annual deficits would exhaust the working capital of the Parking Fund and make the fund technically insolvent by 2008-09. 3. To avoid eventual insolvency, financing the NARF project would require additional Parking Fund revenue,probably in the form of modest increases to link parking garage fees to parking meter rates. Public Works is recommending direction from the Council to: 8-2 HD ATTACHMENT 3 Council Agenda Report—Parking Fund Review 2001-02 Page 3 a. Analyze effects of maintaining the link between garage fees and meter rates. Ever since the current garage fee structure.was developed in 1991, garage fees and meter rates have remained linked to each other. For example, non-core meter rates are currently 50 cents per hour, which is also the hourly parking garage fee. ("Core" meter rates are 70 cents per hour.) As noted in the assumptions listed above, effective January 1, 2003 parking meter rates are already scheduled to increase by 10 cents per hour, to 60 cents per hour for "non-core" meters and 80 cents for 'bore" meters. However, no similar increase for parking garage fees has been adopted, although the desirability of such an increase has been previously discussed with the Council. The need to continue the past linking of garage fees and meter rates is underscored by two factors: 1) as demonstrated in the conclusions stated above, revenue enhancements will be required in order to finance future parking improvements such as NARF and 2) as the City converts surface lots to parking garages, such conversions must be "revenue neutral". They will be disadvantageous, rather than neutral, if there is a significant difference between garage fees and meter rates. b. Meet with the stakeholders who would be affected by possible garage fee increases in maintaining this linkage with meter rates. C. Return to the Council in fall 2002 with recommendations for possible garage increases that would take effect at the same time as scheduled meter rate increases. CIP Proiect Rsguesst ---- Attached is'a CIP project request for the Palm-Morro Parking/Office Building. Approval of this project request will provide the means for implementing the recommendations of another item on the June 4, 2002 Council agenda regarding designation of the City as the "tenant of the Palm- Morro Parking/Office Building. Purchasing and equipping the Palm-Morro Parking/Office Building upon its completion along with related reconfiguration and life-cycle maintenance at City Hall will cost $13,097,200 in 2002-03. $8,481,400 of this cost will be borne by the Parking Fund and $4,615,800 will be borne by the General Fund. Beginning in 2003-04, ongoing annual net costs will be $603,300 in the Parking Fund and$237,400 in the General Fund. Parking Fine Adiustments The current fine for parking in a fire lane is $75, and the current fine for parking next to a fire hydrant is $20. Public Works is recommending that these fines be raised to $103 and $50 respectively so that they are consistent with the county-wide bail schedule for similar fines in other jurisdictions. No significant revenue increases would result. 8-3 jril ATTACHMENT 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o o 0 C. o o0 0 0 0 0 0 0 c o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 c 0 M O — O �D v1 N N M 00 M O h N O, M N N ! u O O vl N w 00 Q %D �O N '7 �D 61 1` O M ^ 00 N O C M �O CPI ` M N N O.
