8 Paid Parking Program Update
January 14, 2025
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
Ryan Johansen, Chief of Police
AGENDA
I. 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%
5 • 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
DISCUSSION
6 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
DISCUSSION
7 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
DISCUSSION
8 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
DISCUSSION
9 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
DISCUSSION
10 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
DISCUSSION
11 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
DISCUSSION
12 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
DISCUSSION
13 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
DISCUSSION
14 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
DISCUSSION
15 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
DISCUSSION
16 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
DISCUSSION
17 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
DISCUSSION
18 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
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
