. City would be the owner of parklets and lease to the businesses. r Power could be supplied via overhead to the parklets. . Roof element should be looked at to include something that appears clear, even though it may be a solid roof type, include trellises and things like that. o Not grandfather in the existing parklets and at the end of the calendar year take a look at those to decide if the Council will go with a City-approved design; existing parklets would be able to stay in place until the Council makes an effective date which would be the end of this calendar year.

City Manager Durflinger requested clarification on the lease rate. Councilmember Nomura said he did not mention a lease rate though it would include overhead and any expenses the City would incur. City Manager Durflinger specified that staff has not done much work on the lease rate because that was not a recommendation of the Finance Committee. He stated that staff could come back with scenarios of payback under a lease program, such as two years, five years, or ten years which would establish a lease rate and the cost recovery on an upfront purchase cost of say $16,000.

The Council briefly discussed the financial aspects of the parklets.

Councilmember Nomura modified the motion to
o Extend the temporary program time to the end of this calendar year (December 2023).
. lnclude a review process for the private sector outdoor space permits. . Cost recovery of 0% - City covers all costs.

Councilmember Lee seconded the modified motion
The Council briefly discussed the parklet roof element and whether it was a part of the design guidelines.

City Manager Durflinger summarized the modified motion with Councilmember Nomura's assistance as follows:
o Extend the temporary wogram through the end of the year (involves staff b1nging back an ordinance tor:the Council to- afprov" tor uotn public parklet and private outdoor area program). ' Staff will come back with scoping for guidelines and what a private sector program would look like. o staff will return to the City Council after studying the financial component of the parklets (i'e' cost recovery and subsidy); tne iou"ncil will wait for the lost recovery study and the consultant's recommendliion ano the Council will decide at that time what the appropriate cost recovery would be. o Staff will amend the language foj t-he roofing material and how to provide electrical power to the parklets and let the Council'consider the amenJdo l.ngurge at a future meeting.
r There will be- no grandfathering of existing parklets and closer to the end of the year staff will bring back to Councilfor rec6nsideration based on tn"r" the City is at and assuming by that time the Council wilL have approved a parklet program. ' Staff will bring back information.on the pros and cons of leasing, renting or selling the parklets !9 Jhe private business owners for1h" corn.il to consider. lt will include how liability metes out, what 9 reas_e "gi""r"nt could do to protect the city or not, and the practical aspects of the city "owning the parklets versus letting the businesses own the parklets.
