The staff has had several ~eetlngs with ~erchants on the Mall regarding oper- ations of the Parklng Structures wlth partlcular emphasls on the security of the users of the structures and the use of a prlvate operator for the struc- tUres. The staff will recommend at a subsequent meet1ng that the City adver- tise for bids for a private operator for the structures. The increase in the monthly permlt rates has been approved by the Chamber of Commerce Retail Committee and the Board of Directors. The lncrease is needed to pay for in- creased Maintenance regardless of who operates and provldes security for the structures. There has traditionally been a dlfference in the cost of permits for parkers from establishments within the or1qlnal Assessment Distrlct and for those out of the District. The cost for parkers ~ithin the District 1S less because the owners within the District pay an additional $2.10/5100 assessed valuatlon and tenants pay five tlmes the normal bU51nes5 license fee, in addition to the parking permit fees shown. The staff recommends that the parking rates for the structures and Lot 6 now be increased to the following: Wlthln Dlstrict Out of Distrlct Ground Floor $20.00 $25.00 Roof Levels $13.00 $16.00 First Level Below Roof $17.00 $20.00 The 1ncrease wll1 generate an additional amount of revenue estimated to be $47,000 per year. -. ..
