HomeMy WebLinkAbout09-04-2018 Item 10 Eliminate Hours for Parking Structures Meeting Date: 9/4/2018
FROM: Daryl Grigsby, Director of Public Works
Prepared By: Scott Lee, Parking Services Manager
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO ELIMINATE THE HOURS OF OPERATION IN PUBLIC
PARKING STRUCTURES
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to eliminate the specified hours of operation for all public parking structures.
DISCUSSION
The new Parking Access and Revenue Control System (PARCS) will allow the parking
structures to be operational on a 24/7/365 basis which requires the removal of the current hours
of operation.
BACK GROUND
Resolution No. 10273 (2011 Series) modified the hourly rates and daily maximum rates for all
three public parking structures and included the specific hours of operation when rates were
applicable. The hourly rates and daily maximum rates were aga in modified with Resolution No.
10823 on July 18, 2017 by the City Council.
At this time, it is necessary to eliminate the hours of operation to allow the new PARCS system
to capture the revenue due for all vehicles parked in the public parking structur es regardless of
time of entry or exit and according to the hourly rate and daily maximum rate established in
Resolution No. 10823 (2017 Series). Controlling gate access at all times is a necessity to allow
for accurate counting of occupancies for the new public information systems that will
eventually be brought on line using the new equipment.
NEXT STEPS
After approval of this Resolution and upon installation of the replacement PARCS system,
Parking Services will program the new system to capture and co llect revenue for each hour a
vehicle is parked in any public parking structure according to the rates and maximums
established in Resolution No. 10823.
CONCURRENCES
None.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The recommended actions are not a “project” within the meaning of the CEQA and therefore, no
environmental review is required.
FISCAL IMPACT
The projected amount of additional revenue has not been quantified as there is no accurate
method to estimate the number of vehicles exiting the structures after the existing hours of
operation. The additional revenue collected will be used for Parking Fund operations and
Parking CIP projects including the maintenance and eventual replacement of the PARCS system.
ALTERNATIVE
The City Council may choose to not repeal Re solution No. 10273 and leave the limited hours of
operation unchanged. The Parking Manager and staff do not recommend this alternative as this
option will limit the collection of revenue for parking in public structures and will not help to
recover the cost of the new PARCS system.
