Walter, Director of Public Work`^' Prepared By: Timothy Scott Bochum, Deputy Director of Public Works Robert Horch, Parking Services Manager SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PARKING METER RATES CAO RECOMMENDATIONS: Introduce an ordinance to amend San Luis Obispo Municipal Code Section 10.52.010 to reflect Council adopted changes to the Downtown meter area, Slack Street, and increased parking meter rates. DISCUSSION On February 21, 2006 the City Council adopted several of the Parking Task Force recommendations to raise revenues to fund the debt service and operational costs for the fourth City parking structure. One of the adopted recommendations included expanding the higher meter rate zone by 154 meters and increasing parking meter rates July 1, 2006 and again on July 1, 2009. Another adopted recommendation was to add parking meters on the 1400 and 1500 block of Slack Street from Grand Avenue to Hathway Street. To effectuate these increases, the San Luis Municipal Code Section 10.52.010 needs to be amended to reflect these changes. Attached is the proposed ordinance that makes these changes and meter zone maps outlining the new meter boundaries.
