CITY OF SAN LUIS O B 1 S P 0 FROM: Michael D.McCluskey,Public Works Director Prepared by: David Elliott,Administrative Analys`,, SUBJECT: Parking Fund Rate Review CAO RECONE IENDATIONS 1) Review and discuss the Parking Fund rate review 2) Conceptually approve a budget request to improve parking staff retention that will cost$7,300 in 1998-99 and$12,000 in 1999-00 DISCUSSION The attached worksheet, "Changes in Working Capital -Parking Fund",projects sources of revenue and uses of revenue for the Parking Fund over the next five years. Worksheet projections are based on the following assumptions: • Operations appropriations will be at levels proposed for the 1998-98 budget and will increase by three percent each year. • Capital project appropriations will be based on the adopted Capital Improvement Plan for 1997-01. • Although parking garage patronage and revenue increased substantially in 1995-96 after completion of the Downtown Centre, they will not increase significantly more until the new Marsh Street Parking Garage Expansion is completed in 2000-01. • Parking meter rates and parking ticket fines will not increase before 2002-03. • Bond issue proceeds will finance construction of the Marsh Street Parking Garage Expansion. • A reserve approximately equal to annual debt service will be maintained as required by contractual obligations. From this worksheet Public Works has drawn the following conclusions: • Current parking rates will cover all planned operating expenses,capital outlays, and debt service obligations from 1998-99 through 2002-03,including additional debt servicefor the Marsh Street Parking Garage Expansion. • After completion of the Marsh Street Garage Expansion, starting in 2001-02 the Parking Fund will have about$400,000 available each year for additional debt service--enough to finance about$5 million worth of future construction. • After allowing for all reserve requirements, in 2002-03 there will be about$4 million available from the unappropriated Parking Fund balance for future capital appropriations. There is one operating program change recommended for the Parking program, and the request is attached. That change will cost an additional$7,300 in 1998-99 and$12,000 in 1999-00.

OPERATING PROGRAM CHANGE PROGRAM: Parking(5060) REQUEST TITLE: Parking Staff Retention Description Implementing new step increases for temporary employees will cost$7,300 in 1998-99 and$12,000 in 1999-00. Objectives • Reduce staff turnover among temporary parking attendants and parking enforcement officers • Reward long-term employees(primarily parking attendants) for good performance Background Parking Attendants Through establishment of fixed work schedules in 1995,Public Works was able to reduce chronically high turnover rates among the temporary parking attendants who work in the parking garages. Despite this overall success,there has still been troublesome turnover on critical weekend and late night shifts. Part of the problem has been the relatively low pay range of$6.30 to$7.30 per hour for the Parking Attendant I classification. This pay range has remained static for several years while minimum wage has gradually increased to$5.75 per hour. To correct this problem, a new Parking Attendant lI classification has been created with a pay range of$7.80 to$8.80 per hour. Seven half-time Parking Attendant I's, who are now paid$7.30 per hour,will be eligible for promotion to Parking Attendant 11 in 1998-99 at an additional cost of$6,100 in 1998-99 and$10,100 in 1999-00. Parking Enforcement Officers The half-time temporary parking enforcement officer position (which provides enforcement on Saturdays,Mondays,and vacation days when the full-time enforcement officers are off)has also suffered high turnover and a resulting loss of productivity.. When this position is vacant, about$400 dollars per day of parking revenue is lost because meters are not fed and citations are not issued. Then when another enforcement officer is hired,the full-time regular officers must take time from their enforcement schedules to train the new employee. As with the attendants,the primary cause of the high turnover has been low wages. The pay range for the Parking Enforcement Officer I classification has been$6.30 to$7.30 per hour,compared to a range of$8.30 to$12.00 per hour in other comparable cities. Recently,the pay range for Parking Enforcement Officer I was raised to$7.50 to$8.50 per hour. At the same time, a new Parking Enforcement Officer Il classification was created with a pay range of$9.00 to$10.00 per hour. The additional cost will be $1,200 in 1998-99 and$1,900 in 1999-00. /�3 J Parking Staff Retention - Cost Changes Proposed Cost Changes Current Costs 1998-99 1999-00 Staffing 408,100 +7,300 +12,000 Contract Services 227,500 Other Operating Expenditures 85,000 Minor Ca ital 0 Total 720 600 +75,300 +1290001 Account Detail Account Title Account Number 1998-99 1999-00 Salaries-Temporary Employees 510.5060.100.004 +6,500 +10,600 Workers Compensation Insurance 510.5060.100.029 +800 +1,400 Total +7 00 +11290001
