BACKGROUND: Annually, the City Council has relaxed overnight parking enforcement to allow families to gather during the holiday season, without having to worry about obtaining an overnight parking permit. ANALYSIS : Staff is proposing that the City Council temporarily relax overnight parking enforcement from 12:00 midnight on Sunday, December 19, 2021 to 11:59 p.m. on Monday, January 3, 2022. Overnight parking enforcement will resume at 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 4, 2022. The overnight parking ordinance does not contain an exception that will allow the City Manager, or other staff members, to suspend or relax the parking restrictions. However, the City Council has the authority to temporarily suspend enforcement of the overnight parking restrictions during a specified period of time. Staff estimates that the potential total of lost revenue from relaxing enforcement is approximately $17,000 based upon average weekly revenue generated by the Parking Enforcement Program, which includes overnight parking permits and parking citations. AGENDA ITEM 7.F. City Council November 16, 2021 Page 2 of 2 CITY STRATEGIC GOALS : Relaxing overnight parking enforcement would promote the City Strategic Goal of Quality of Life. FISCAL IMPACT : When developing the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 City Budget, staff proposed conservative revenue figures for paid parking citations and parking permits issued. Therefore, this item would have a minimal impact on the FY 2021-22 City Budget. ATTACHMENT: None
