a downtown parking program with staff, consultants, and Parking Advisory
Committee members, continued from Monday, December 8, 1980.
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, reviewed action to date by the City Council
particularly consensus action of the December 8 council meeting. He stated
the council indicated they would support an increase in the parking meter
rates and expressed support for Project B. The council also indicated it
was willing to provide some general fund contribution toward the project.
The contribution was not determined but it would range from what it has
already donated toward the project for land acquisition which amounts to
one million dollars, equivalent to one - hundred fifteen thousand dollars a
year to go for advertising for the life of the bonded indebtedness. The
Business Improvement Committee felt strongly that a donation should be made
which relates somehow to the parking fine revenues that the city collect.
Wayne Peterson continued that the council also concurred with a revision
to the parking standards already proposed and in general .agreed there should
be a parking requirement in the downtown zones with provision for in lieu
fees. As far as exemption for residential property is concerned, the council
concurred with exempting in lieu in moderate cost residential on the second
floor and above in all existing buildings and on the third floor and above
in new structures. All other types of

Ken Porche, Chairman of the Community Parking Committee, reviewed some of the
comments submitted by Wayne Peterson and stated he felt that the committee
agreed with the consensus arrived at that meeting.
Al Gazin, member of the Community Parking Committee, then reviewed the cost
formula as seen from the property owner's and tenant's point of view, that
the annual district debt payment would be equal to the annual fixed property
assessment plus the net parking revenues plus the city contributions plus
other contributions. And he was hoping that these figures could be pinned
down at an early date. The reason for the emphasis on trying to arrive on a
formula for the annual payment was that the parking committee was worried
that if the cost per square foot was not fixed at the beginning of the project,
it would be extremely difficult to sell to property owners and tenants, as
they would have to look many years ahead on rents and on paying the rents
through the property owners.
At 2:30 p.m. Ron Dunin arrived at the meeting.
John French, member of the parking committee, asked the council to approve
the assessment formula so that the committee can begin to sell the program
to the property owners and merchants, to authorize the preparation of plans
for either B or C and the operating cost estimate and to establish the
revenue and expenditure statement for the project, and the council to decide
on the guaranteed fixed annual cost by the city.
There was no formal action taken but the City Council took the following
action by majority consensus:
1) Project "B1" or "C3" would be the project staff would work
towards.
2) .07C per square foot on the first floor would be the maximum
assessment.
3) The boundaries of the parking district would be as shown in the
E.R.A. report, page 6 -2.
4) The City Council answered the committee's question in Report No. 2
dated 11/24/80 as follows: Question #la - .07C per square foot maximum
assessment, lb - meter rates to be increased to .20C per hour in the core
area and .16 per hour on the periphery, lc - the City Council would contribute
the parking meter rate collections after operating costs have been deducted.
Question #2 - use the boundaries in the E.R.A. report. Question #3 - single

Question 966 - no added factors could be added to the assessment for sales

committee were continued to a future date to allow the consultant to complete

the last two meetings.
