Forbes, AICP, Community Development Director By: Andrew J. Coyne, Management Analyst SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO RELAX THE ENFORCEMENT OF OVERNIGHT PARKING RESTRICTIONS DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is requested to relax the enforcement of the overnight parking restrictions from 12:00 midnight on December 14, 2014 to 11:59 p.m. on January 4, 2015. BACKGROUND: 1. For the past four years the City Council has relaxed the enforcement of the overnight parking restrictions to allow families to gather during the holiday season without having to worry about obtaining an overnight parking permit. /e1ki/e1W&I65 Staff is proposing that the City Council temporarily relax enforcement from 12:00 midnight on December 14, 2014 (Sunday) to 11:59 p.m. on January 4, 2015 (Sunday). Enforcement of the overnight parking restrictions will resume at 2:00 a.m. on January 5, 2015 (Monday). The overnight parking ordinance does not contain an exception for 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 total potential lost revenue from relaxing enforcement is approximately $16,000 based upon average weekly revenue generated by the Parking Enforcement Program, which includes overnight parking permits and parking citations. City Council December 2, 2014 Page 2 of 2 The City Council has traditionally relaxed enforcement of the overnight parking restrictions during the holiday season to allow families to gather without having to worry about obtaining an overnight parking permit. Therefore, the City Council is requested to relax the enforcement of the overnight parking restrictions from 12:00 midnight on December 14, 2014 to 11:59 p.m. on January 4, 2015. FISCAL IMPACT: When developing the Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-15 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 2013-14 City Budget. ATTACHMENT: None
