FROM: Jay D. Walter,Director of Public Works
Prepared By: Robert Horch,Parking Services Manager
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE DEFERRING PAREING
METER RATE INCREASES AND A RESOLUTION DEFERRING
PARKING STRUCTURE RATE INCREASES.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1) Introduce an ordinance to defer an increase to non-core parking meter rates to $1 until
July 1, 2011 under San Luis Obispo Municipal Code Section 10.52.010.
2) Adopt a resolution to defer an increase of parking structure rates to $1 an hour until
July 1, 2011.
DISCUSSION
During the Parking Enterprise Fund Review on June 1, 2010 City Council directed staff to defer
increases to both the hourly parking structure rates and the non-core (10-hour) parking meter rates
for one year. Both rates were scheduled to increase from $0.75 to $1 an hour on July 1, 2010 as
part of series of rate increases that originated in the 2006 Parking Fund Review to fund the Palm
Nipomo parking structure. In order to effectuate this change the prior ordinance and resolution
must be amended and repealed.
Parking meter rates are required to be established and modified by ordinance pursuant to California
Vehicle Code section 22508. Parking Structure rates can be established and modified by a
resolution.
City Council will have the ability to review the Parking Enterprise Fund prior to the effective dates
of the ordinance and resolution in 2011.
FISCAL IMPACT
Deferring the increases to the parking structure and meter rates results in a loss of approximately
$368,000 annually. This was the last in a series of revenue enhancements intended to fund the
construction and operational costs of the Palm Nipomo parking structure.
