COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT 69
FROM: March 2 11199
Dave Romero Wayne Peterson Prepared by: Keith Opalewski
Public Works City Engineer Parking Program Coordinator
SUBJECT:
Disposition of Parking Revenues, Fines and Forfeitures
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, give final passage to Ordinance (#1165) amending
section 10.64. 040 (Disposition of Fines and Forfeitures) of the
Municipal Code, whereby 100% of fines and forfeitures paid to the
City shall be deposited into the Parking Fund, effective July 1,
1990.
BACKGROUND:
At its March 20, 1990 meeting, Council unanimously approved the
introduction to print of Ordinance (#1165) . The new ordinance
will amend section 10.64.040 (Disposition of Fines and
Forfeitures) of the Municipal Code whereby effective July 1,
1990, all fines and forfeitures paid to the city will be
deposited into the Parking Fund.
No additional comments were received by anybody opposing the
amendment to the Municipal Code, therefore it is staffs
recommendation to give final passage to Ordinance (#1165) .
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Give final passage as recommended.
2. Reject final passage.
PROS AND CONS
1. Passing the ordinance change will help reduce the parking
program's current negative cash flow without raising parking fees
or fines. The General Fund will have to make-up the loss of
revenue from parking citation monies.

2 . By rejecting the ordinance change, the parking program will
continue to face the full $400,000 deficiency and would have to
identify other sources of revenue to offset the negative cash
flow. The General Fund would continue to receive one-half of
parking citation monies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Depositing all revenues from the collection of parking citations
into the Parking Fund will substantially reduce the current
financial short-fall of the parking program. The projected
figure of $160,000 represents 40% of the current deficiency and
can be accomplished without raising fees or fines. This action
will represent a $160, 000 loss to the General Fund.
CONCURRENCES:
The Parking Management Committee and Finance Department recommend
that all parking citation monies should be deposited into the
Parking Fund.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
If parking citation monies continue to be split between the
Street Improvement Fund and the Parking Fund, the parking program
will continue to face an ongoing deficiency which will have to be
offset by higher parking rates.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Give final passage to Ordinance (#1165) amending section
10.64.040 (Disposition of Fines and Forfeitures) of the Municipal
Code, whereby effective July 1, 1990, all fines and forfeitures
paid to the City shall be deposited into the Parking Fund.
