PARKING COMMISSION MINUTES DATE: December 14, 2021 MEETING LOCATION: CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS 106 PUBLIC SQUARE CLARKSVILLE, TN 37040 I. CALL TO ORDER/QUORUM CHECK The meeting was called to order by Ryan Bowie at 3:01 pm. Members present were David Shelton and Andy Kean. II. ADOPTION OF MINUTES: November 16, 2021 Mr. Shelton made a motion to adopt. Mr. Kean seconded and all members voted in favor. III. GUEST(S) No guests were present. IV. DEPARTMENT REPORTS Financial Report: Ryan Bowie reviewed the financial report. YTD 2021 was up from July 1 to November 30. Monthly, we’re showing a loss compared to last year when we saw a profit of about $10,500. Michael Palmore attributed this to the Cumberland Garage being closed and pay machines being down. Meter Report: Caleb Copeland (Premier Parking) reported that on January 3 there will only be 46 meters which will be on 1st and 2nd Streets (which will also be serviced by ParkMobile), everything else will be ParkMobile only. V. NEW BUSINESS 1. Obstruction Permits Mr. Palmore said that we currently have a $30 application fee, and a $10 per space fee for up to 4 spaces. Any additional spaces are $20. The proposal is for the application fee to stay the same, each space will be $25 for up to 2 spaces, and any additional spaces up to 4 would be $30. For reference, the rate to park for a day is $12.50 if you feed the meters. John Hilborn added that the City Attorney has said we need the liability upped to $1,000,000. Mr. Bowie asked that the website indicate that the obstruction permits are approved by staff and not the Parking Commission. Mr. Palmore said that another change would be to charge for every day, including weekends and holidays. Also discussed was how to minimize disruption of neighboring businesses when construction is happening as well as ways to coordinate with Building & Codes when businesses are applying for permits. Applicants will need to allow 48 hours (business days) for approval with special allowances for emergency situations. Also proposed is an oversized vehicles (or equipment) charge of $185 per day for projects that require the street to be blocked. Mr. Bowie suggested checking with Jennifer Letourneau or Michelle Austin to find out the protocol Parks and Recreation follows for closing down a street. Mr. Hilborn suggested that the Communications Department put out a notice about closures to make people aware of upcoming closures and which businesses will or will not be open during the road closures. Mr. Bowie moved to adopt the presented rate structure for obstruction permits with a 48 hour (business days) approval time built in for obstructions to the parking spaces. The policy for oversized vehicles requiring road closure is tabled until the January meeting. 2. Monthly Parking Permits (Contracts) Mr. Palmore presented a proposal to make monthly parking fees due by the 5th of the month (previously the latest date it was due without a late fee was the 15th). Late fee would stay the same at $5.00. If payment is not paid by the 5th of the month, the permit is forfieted for that month. Mr. Palmore reviewed the adopted Monthly Parking Discounts which were adopted at a previous meeting (25% discount for Government, 30% discount for County. Any contract for 10 or more spaces will have it’s own contract negotiated on a case-by-case basis. There will be no more Duplicate Hang Tags.) Mr. Kean moved to adopt the Monthly Parking Permits as presented, Mr. Bowie seconded, and the motion passed. 3. Monthly Parking Rates Mr. Palmore presented a proposal to increase monthly parking rates by $15 to accomplish needed maintenance and improvements. Parking has not raised rates in decades. Caleb Copeland (Premier Parking) noted this is still a substantial discount over the daily parking rate. Mr. Bowie requested that there would need to be sufficient avenues for the public to become aware of the changes and have their questions answered. The Commission discussed holding multiple Town Hall Meetings and putting together an FAQ sheet. Mr. Shelton motioned to approve the Monthly Parking Rate increase. Mr. Kean seconded the motion and the motion carried. 4. Elite Passes Mr. Palmore brought up a proposal to offer a discounted parking permit for elected officials. John Hilborn suggested that we should to get input from the City Attorney and the discussion was tabled. 5. Mixed-Use Garages Mr. Palmore has proposed all garages and lots would be mixed-use. There would not be any assigned spaces. Mr. Bowie made the motion to make all monthly parking garages and lots mixed use. Mr. Shelton seconded and the motion carried. VI. OLD BUSINESS 1. State of the Cumberland Garage Mr. Hilborn said the garage should be opened within the next 10 days. Mr. Palmore indicated that parking in the garage will be free for the remainder of of the month. 2. New Parking Garage Mr. Hilborn said the city is investigating options and discussions are in a very preliminary state. 3. ParkMobile Mr. Palmore indicated that ParkMobile would be going live in January and signage will be going up throughout the downtown area. VII. VOIDING REQUESTS 17021294, 170212792, 170114870 - No action VIII. ADJOURNMENT—The meeting was adjourned at 4:19 pm.

DEPARTMENTREPORTS Financial Report: Regina Hampton presented the financial report. Month-to-date numbers: Revenue was $26,198, expenses were $23,449 so we had an operating income of $2,7 49 and a net loss (including depreciation) of $4619. Year-to-date our revenues are $145,142, expenses are $106,417, we have an operating profit of $38,725, after depreciation a profit of $9,250. Mr. Bowie asked about the loss for the month. Michael Palmore said it was largely due to a pay station that was not operational. Meter Report: Caleb Copeland (Premier Parking) reported that we had 153 meters in the field. We received l2 repaired meters from IPS last week. We have 142 spares, of those we will only need 46 once we move to ParkMobile; those 46 meters will go on lst and 2nd Streets (which will also be serviced by ParkMobile), everything else will be ParkMobile only. V NEW BUSINESS l. Holiday Parking Mr. Bowie has gotten questions about free parking to incentivize shopping and dining downtown during the holidays. After discussing options, Mr. Bowie moved to have free parking in Historic Downtown on Fridays in the month of December. Mr. Shelton seconded and the motion passed. VI. OLD BUSINESS l. State of the Cumberland Garage - John Hilborn said engineers should be done with their work by the end of November, then there will be safety and remediation work that needs to be done. 2. New Parking Garage Mr. Hilborn said the Mayor is sensitive to the need and is working on a plan. Mr. Bowie stated that it is a big concern. There was discussion about ways to partner with local businesses that have lots that are not used in the evening when there will be events happening at the MPEC. 3. ParkMobile Mr. Bowie asked how the public will be notified about the change. Mr. Palmore said ParkMobile will provide signage and instructions. The meters will still have the existing blue signs. The thought behind the placement of the metered spaces is that they will be closer to City Hall for those who want the option to pay a meter and don't want to deal with an app. The Cumberland Garage will have ParkMobile along with two fully upgraded, brand-new Pay Stations, and rve are discussing upgrading the existing Pay Station, so there may be a third. The newer 4G meters are being migrated to lst and 2nd St. The older ones will be on Franklin and eventually removed. 4. New Parking Contract This will be discussed at the next meeting. VII. MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION Mr. Palmore said that at the next meeting we will discuss Obstruction Permits due to increased construction in Clarksville. Mr, Palmore also said that we are in the process of looking at an enforcement software called Ballpark to replace Cardinal. lt is more user-friendly for the admin side and for our enforcement team. It was determined that we need to come up with a plan to notify the public of coming changes. VIII. VOIDING REOUESTS No Action Taken: 170114738 Void: 17114634 lX.
