DATE: December 2, 2014
TO: The Honorable City Council
MEMORANDUM
FROM: Bryan Cook, City Manager
Via: Michael D. 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.

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.
