FISCAL IMPACT
Fullerton College would initially utilize 200 parking spaces generate $24,000 ($120 per reserved parking space) revenue to the Whiting / Lemon Parking Facilities Fund (Fund 45). The agreement has a one-year term and allows for temporary, exclusive right to utilize up to a maximum of 210 parking spaces. Fullerton College would cover all costs associated with signage installation and required enforcement, ensuring no additional financial impact to the City.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Fullerton College is undergoing major campus improvements paid with Measure J funds, including a new instructional building, facility renovations and new projects like a Welcome Center, Lab School and horticulture / STEM building. Construction impacts on-campus parking, prompting a request to the City for a temporary parking accommodations agreement.
Fullerton College would manage parking placards and signage for reserved spaces. The City would determine designated spaces for college use. The Fullerton Police Department would enforce parking regulations in public parking areas, while Fullerton College would enforce its designated spaces. NOCCCD would assume all liability and must maintain insurance coverage, listing the City as an additional insured entity.
The remaining parking spaces in the structure would remain open to the public. This agreement aligns with the City’s commitment to supporting local institutions and fostering positive partnerships while ensuring efficient utilization of public assets.
