Objective II. Background III. Discussion IV. Recommendation V. Questions 2 OBJECTIVE Receive update from items discussed at the 6-month update on the Paid Parking Program at the November 4, 2024 meeting, and consider adopting a Resolution amending recognized holidays for paid parking on City owned or controlled on and off- street parking facilities and determining the project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act 3 BACKGROUND  Council received 6-month update on the paid-parking program at the 11/12/24 Special Meeting  Staff presented items for Council input/feedback  Council articulated additional items for exploration  Staff clarified understanding of these items via the Council Digest twice between 11/12/24 and now  This report provides updated information on both sets of items 4 BACKGROUND 85% • Ideal peak occupancy rate for businesses and customers alike • Ensures available parking for varied needs • Identified as the primary driver of policy decisions around this program 5 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Addition of shorter paid parking intervals in City lots  Extremely low rate in lots makes this cost prohibitive o Exacerbated with credit card transactions  Staff evaluating potential for a cash-only option o Likely restricted to designated spaces (green zones) o Likely requires the purchase of individual meters for each space Staff will bring this back to Council following solution identification and fiscal analysis 6 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Additional recognized holidays for exemption from paid parking  Staff error in original Resolution identified only 3 holidays  Actual practice exempted all City holidays Amended Resolution included for potential adoption this evening 7 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Exempting or reducing paid parking hours on Sundays  Not supported by the 85% guiding principle  Costly to implement (signage, ordinance changes, reprogramming, etc.)  Only 2 of 5 Councilmembers supported exploration on 11/12/24 Staff does not recommend any changes at this time 8 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Allow customers to pay to park in any lot, and move about the other lots  Not supported by the “park and walk” principle  Only 1 of 5 Councilmembers supported exploration on 11/12/24 Staff does not recommend any changes at this time 9 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Remove the paid parking requirement from El Camino Real  Parking demand in this area is notably lower  Too early to analyze the impacts of new developments  Only 1 of 5 Councilmembers supported exploration, with 3 of 5 indicating opposition, on 11/12/24 Staff does not recommend any changes at this time 10 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Seek a better mobile pay application  Existing app is not user friendly  Does not store information  Alternatives are available, but will likely increase costs  4 of 5 Councilmembers supported exploration on 11/12/24 Staff is currently working to assess options and conduct fiscal analysis 11 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Making rate adjustments  85%  Occupancy data indicates the need for increases during certain days/times  Also potential decreases in the morning hours  Data compromised by program changes and kiosk malfunctions Staff recommends another 90+ days of data before reassessing 12 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Move oversight of the paid parking program from Police Department  Never intended to reside there  Not managed by PD in any other known cities  Enforcement oversight would remain with PD  Presently no resource for this, in any department Staff is conducting a needs analysis (staff work/costs) before moving 13 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Improving wayfinding signage  No evidence that parkers are having trouble finding parking lots  Enhanced parking signage was installed with this program  Need for broader wayfinding signage project  In FY25 Operating Budget as “on hold” pending resource allocation Staff will assess this for potential addition to the FY26 budget 14 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Update parking meter kiosks to display "free on holiday" or "no payment required" on the initial screen when appropriate  Need for “sleep mode” makes continuous display impossible  Currently too many steps to get to message  Physical signage not practical (too many kiosks) Staff is working with vendor to move the message as early in the process as possible 15 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Create an easy option in which parkers simply “put in a quarter and walk away”  Cannot be done in a license plate based system  Would require purchase and installation of individual meters at each space  Only 1 of 5 Councilmembers supported exploration at the 11/12/24 meeting Staff does not recommend any changes at this time 16 DISCUSSION Update on Potential Program Adjustments from 11/12/24 Meeting • Consider whether we should charge for parking between 8am-10am on weekdays  Not charging presents issues with fiscal model and current policies  Occupancy rates might justify cost reduction in this window of time Staff recommends another 90+ days of data before reassessing 17 DISCUSSION Moving Forward  Important to acknowledge transition from deployment to ongoing operation  Desire to do more faster, but there is no resource for this  Move from PD will still require resource identification/allocation  PD will still handle enforcement and rate setting  Newly identified team will handle: o Oversight of day-to-day operations o Analysis of occupancy and revenue data o Technical issues with kiosks and other systems o Communications 18 RECOMMENDATION Receive Paid Parking Program Update and Adopt a Resolution Amending Recognized Holidays for Paid Parking on City Owned or Controlled on and Off-Street Parking Facilities and Determining the Project is Exempt Under the California Environmental Quality Act 19 QUESTIONS? 20 Consider Appointment of
