MEETING OF.01/12/2026AGENDA ITEM NO.4
Authorization to Amend Contract Number 32539 with ABM Industry Groups, LLC. for City Employee Parking January 12, 2026
BACKGROUND:
On February 1, 1972, the City entered a 51 year agreement with the First Baptist Church to allow the City to construct and operate a parking garage on a church-owned parcel located at 150 E. Holly Street, also referred to as Holly Street Garage. The agreement expired on February 28, 2023. Approximately 422 City employees and 41 City vehicles that parked in the Holly Garage were displaced.
While the City has entered into agreements with other facilities to provide employee parking for other Departments, the Police Department (PD) requires a facility close to the PD Headquarters with twenty-four-hour access for employees who work varying shifts, which is currently not available elsewhere.
In January 2023, the City Council approved an agreement with ABM Industry Groups, LLC. to provide a total of 100 replacement parking spaces proximate to the Police Department. This contract expired December 31, 2023, and ABM at that time could only extend the agreement for another six months. City Council approved an extension, ending June 30, 2024. ABM agreed to, and the City Manager approved, a twelve-month extension from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. ABM then granted another a six-month extension from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, which the City Manager approved.
ABM has agreed to another twelve-month extension starting January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, the longest term currently available.
Although City Departments pay to provide their employees with parking, the Department of Transportation continues to administer the employee parking agreements and to collaborate with the City Departments' employee parking needs. The ABM agreement is specifically entered into for the PD's employee parking.
COUNCIL POLICY CONSIDERATION:
This project is consistent with the City Council's goals to maintain fiscal responsibility and stability, and to ensure public safety.
Authorization to Amend Contract Number 32539 with ABM Industry Groups, LLC. for City Employee Parking January 12, 2026
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
CEQA excludes, from environmental review, actions that are not "projects" as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 21065 and within the meaning of Section 15378(b). Sections 21065 and 15378(b) define a project as an action which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Section 15378 excludes from the definition of "project" organizational or administrative governmental activities that do not result in physical changes to the environment. The actions proposed herein, authorizing the City Manager to amend a contract to provide for employee parking at an existing garage, is an organizational or administrative governmental activity that does not result in physical changes to the environment, and therefore is not a "project" as defined by CEQA. Since the action is not a project subject to CEQA, no environmental document is required.
