2. Adopt attached parking fine Resolution No. 11221 (CCS) entitled, “A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA
MONICA AMENDING THE SCHEDULE OF CIVIL PENALTIES
FOR PARKING VIOLATIONS AND FOR THE LATE PAYMENT
OF PENALTIES”;
DocuSign Envelope ID: BBF0034B-0008-439E-AB05-752DF05A7EE2
6 January 14, 2020
3. Adopt attached parking rate Resolution No. 11222 (CCS) entitled, “A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA
MONICA ESTABLISHING PARKING RATES AND PERMIT FEES
FOR ALL CITY PARKING FACILITIES AND RESOURCES”;
4. Review and comment on the proposed recommendation to replace all
City-owned non-networked charging stations with networked charging
stations, and direct staff to proceed with procuring the necessary
funding and contractual services; and
5. Review and comment on the proposed recommendations for the use of
LCFS and other potential revenues for EV charging projects and
programs.
Questions asked and answered of staff included: how does the overstay and
overnight stay work together; in the proposed ordinance it states after 15
minutes, is the overstay charge after 15 minutes or is it an hour; why aren’t we
establishing time-of-use rates sooner rather than later; is eliminating free
parking for electric vehicles being considered tonight; using surplus revenue to
pilot fleet vehicles how much does one of those vehicles cost, and doesn’t it
make more sense to use that revenue for other options; how does a person get
notified of overstay if they don’t use text messaging; does the city get special
rates from Edison and the Clean Power Alliance; are the rates based on
consumer rates or what the city pays; has anyone thought about the deterrent
effect of having people pay for a charge; has there been any discussion about
public parking facilities having a 110 volt that would make it much more
available; is it possible to offer discount rates for seniors and low-income
households; the upgrade cost is that new cost or has it already been budgeted;
why are we sticking with ChargePoint and are we looking at a new provider; is
there a marker as to how many ChargePoint and how many non-ChargePoint
there are around town; do all stations not have signage that states EV parking
only; is the $1 per minute charge up to $63; is the overcharge text message only
sent to the phone number on the Chargepoint account; and, has staff done
different scenarios to see a variable of usage and charges.
Members of the public Paul Scott and Judy Abdo spoke generally in favor of
the recommended action.
Considerable discussion ensued on topics including, but not limited to: the
overstay charge is necessary, however a 10 minute grace period for the first few
years might be better for the transition period instead of the recommended five
minutes; adopting a user fee is going to be tricky, especially for renters and
lower income users; the revenue for networked charging stations should be used
to increase the number of stations instead of upgrading existing chargers; more
chargers are good; multi-family rebates are good; using the revenue should be
used to incentivize public charging stations, not fleet vehicles; combining solar
on sight for EV charging, not economic and doesn’t make sense; the free
parking incentives for EV vehicles should remain; on non-network stations, the
DocuSign Envelope ID: BBF0034B-0008-439E-AB05-752DF05A7EE2
7 January 14, 2020
full $53 ticket should be charged if the vehicle shows that the car is fully
charged; incentives should be given for apartments charging stations; go ahead
and do the fee study, then come back to determine the user fees and if full cost
recovery should be included; work with the Clean Power Alliance to see if there
is a way to incentivize lower income households to purchase an EV; in favor of
doing the upgrades on the non-network chargers as long as it isn’t taking away
from expanding the number of charging stations; financial analysis would be
helpful to come up with different rates and different scenarios around the city;
replacing the network chargers, look at it from a balance sheet perspective; the
decal program should remain with free parking, for now as an incentive; money
needs to be put into communication to help people understand and be informed
on upcoming new changes; and, looking at the broader picture, how do we get
charging into multi-family structures, needs to be a priority.
Motion by Councilmember Winterer, seconded by Councilmember Jara, to
introduce and hold first reading of the ordinance reading by title only and
waiving further reading thereof, with a change that the grace period be 10
minutes before the overstay charges apply, and revise the ordinance language in
Section 3.16.170(b)(4) to align with the new time. The motion was approved
by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Morena, Himmelrich, Davis, Winterer, Jara,
Mayor Pro Tem O’Day, Mayor McKeown
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Motion by Councilmember Himmelrich, seconded by Councilmember Morena,
