Background When the Parking Structures in the Downtown Parklng Assessment District were Origlnally built, employee parking was not permitted. After approximately one year of operation of Structures No. 1 and 2, the Council agreed to permit employee parking in the least desirable areas of each structure; i. e., dead end aisles at ground levels and the roof. Inltially, only one permit was issued per space. Subsequently, duplicate stickers were sold at t~e rate of 50~ each, with no lirnitatlon on the number of duplicates issued. The present system often results in abuses and is economically unsound. Three years ago, this issuance of unlimlted duplicates created severe parking enforcement problems. This was due in part to some business establishments purchasing as many as eight and ten duplicates for a space and asslgning these duplicates to various employees. In response to the Police Departmentts request, a limit of two duplicates per assigned parking space was establlshed in 1975. However, the rate for each duplicate still remalns at SOC per sticker. Problems still continue due in most part to the nominal fee charged for dupli- cates. Permit holders simply do not read the informational brochure given hE _ .. .-. n 1It'\"'Tn i ~- ~ - . To: Mayor and Councll -2- November 15, 1978 to each person who recelves a parking permit. Consequently, numerous per- mittees wlll seek a third or fourth duplicate and are unhappy when staff reminds them of the two duplicate maXlmum. In view of the lncrease in operating cost over the past ten years since the initial 50~ fee was established, staff recommends that duplicate permlts only be issued when the scraplngs of the old permlt are returned and that the price of the duplicate permits be raised to $2.00. Staff further recommends that al' others requesting duplicates pay the full price for such permit(s}. Staff belleves this will remedy the problem. Recommendation Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached resolution establishing the following rates for duplicate permits issued to employee parkers in the Parking Structures within the Parking Assessment Dlstrlct: 1. Duplicate cost if scrapings of permlt are presented to staff in City Hall - $2.00 each 2. All other requests for duplicates - A. $8 monthly rate, duplicate will cost $8 B. $11 monthly rate, duplicate will cost $11 C. $13 monthly rate, duplicate wlll cost $13 O. $16 monthly rate, duplicate will cost $16 This rate structure encompasses both in- and out-of-District parkers.
