Staff respectfully requests that Council adopt the ordinance with a 90 day effective date. BOARD /COMMISSION /COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION. The Council DYFI Committee has previously sent the Parking Commission's recommendations to the full Council for approval of Phase I items. • COUNCIL ACTION: III YAKIMA PARKING COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS TO UPDATE THE DOWNTOWN PARKING SYSTEM — March 24, 2009 The following is a summary of the Parking Commission recommendations to the Yakima City Council, with a corresponding funding request The recommendations are made in two phases. Phase 1 can be implemented immediately within the existing parking enforcement structure. However, Phase 2, which deals with enforcement issues and the resulting increased revenue, is key to developing the most cost efficient means to monitor parking compliance and to adequately finance ongoing maintenance. Phase 2 will demand a well researched, well thought out public/private partnership. PHASE '1 Estimated Funding $52,500 ✓ Hours (On Street) — immediately change downtown core to two -hour parking with a one -hour section on Yakima Avenue between Niches Avenue and Second Street on Second and Third Streets between A Street and Chestnut Avenue; and on Fourth Street between Yakima Avenue and Chestnut Avenue. The rest of the area should remain two hours. We also suggest keeping the 30- minute section on S. Niches Avenue and the 15- minute section in front of the United States Post Office. ✓ Hours (Off Street)— immediately change the hours in the off street lots to two free hours and $1.00 per hour afterwards. Those lots #s are 1, 2 and 4 Increase monthly spots to $40 per month (this is two dollars a day). We also recommend limiting monthly parking permits to 30% of the available spots in these lots. For the time being, we also recommend making the lot on South Second Street (lot# 5) free to all -day parking due to ifs out of the way location and current limited demand. si Lot Conditions — immediately work with the City of Yakima Streets Department to restripe and update the numbering system in lot #4. If funds are available, research updating the landscaping and visibility around the pay stations. ✓ Signage — ask City of Yakima Public Works Department to work with the Downtown Parking Commission to create a new way - finding and signage plan; then have the sign department create and install new signage. Estimated Cost: $5, ✓ Education— allocate funds for design of a new educational brochure (including utility bill inserts) and website that features information on where to park, where to purchase permits and how to use the parking technology in the lots. This effort may include Y -PAC programming to explain the changes. Include a 'grace" period for at least the first three months and use it as an educational . process to tell current users of the changes. Estimated Maximum Cost: $10,000 ✓ Revenue Collection — Affect the purchase of 5 solar powered Smart Meters for lots 1, 2 & 4 Information regarding a proto-type system considered for Portland, Oregon is attached. Estimated Cost $37,500 (the estimated monthly . operation costs per unit is $100) PHASE 2 Estimated Funding: $17,500 (including costs associated with Phase 1 that cannot be estimated) ✓ Enforcement — initiate a joint effort amongst the Yakima Police Department, the Downtown Parking Commission, and the City to identify the most cost- efficient parking compliance solution, not only for downtown core, but all of downtown. Have joint team review proposals from various technology companies to help us ensure effective tumover of our most valuable parking space and to develop a balanced public/private enforcement strategy ✓ Revenue Usage — review revenue usage to ensure that the money stays downtown to strengthen the parking enforcement system and aid in downtown maintenance projects. • The total funding request for both phases is $75,000. We understand that this amount is currently available in the City's capital fund. Based on the parking lot permrl and hourly fees accrued between 2000 and 2004, we estimate that the $75,000 investment would be recouped in 2 to 3 years from the date that effective enforcement is in place. Attached is a ten year historical comparison parking enforcement revenues and expenditures. yr • 1 --- aj14 as «hav • S.. u+/ ye a.+ tn 4 aa®s N tget Parking • +.....

Downtown Yakima Parking Commission Recommendations to City Council (1) Improving Downtown Core Parking Operations, (2) Necessary Amendments to YMC 9.50, and (3) Resolution Authoring City Manager to Execute Necessary Agreements to Implement Parking Commission Recommendations SUBMITTED BY Downtown Yakima Parking Commission Dave Zabel!, Assistant City Manager Chris Waarvick, Director of Public Works Lawrence Wafters, Senior Assistant City Attorney Sue Ownby, Purchasing Manager CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Chris Waarvick, 576 -6411 (In the future the Contact Person will be the new CDY Executive Director at 225 -2485) SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Staff respectfully submits this report on behalf of the Downtown Parking Commission with their recommendations and subsequent necessary implementing actions. At the February 15, 2005 Business Meeting (Item 12), the City Council accepted Yakima Downtown Association's (YDA) recommendations to amend parking codes (YMC 9.50) via Ordinance No. 2005 -04 The ordinance states that these changes were to be reviewed by City Council by March 1, 2008 On July 17, 2007, the Yakima City Council created the Downtown Yakima Parking Commission through Ordinance No 2007 -35 and enacted a new chapter for the Yakima Municipal Code (YIVMC 9 491 The Downtown Yakima Parking Commission has completed their review of the parking amendments made in 2005 (Continued on next page.) 1 Resolution X Ordinance X Contract Other (Specify) Agenda Item & excerpts from 2/25/05 & 7/17/07 Council Minutes, Parking Commission Member List, Map Funding Source CBD Fund — $75,000 APPROVED FOR SUBMITTAL. City Manager STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests that Council follow the Parking Commission and DYFI Committee recommendations by approving the Phase I list of items. ® BOARD /COMMISSION /COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION. The Council DYFI Committee sends the Parking Commission's recommendationo the full Council for approval of Phase! items. COUNCIL ACTION: • Attached is the full list of recommendations from the Yakima Parking Commission, who had essentially completed this work in November of 2008. The DYFI Committee has reviewed these parking amendment changes to the on- street parking and city -owned lot parking and sends them to the full Council with a recommendation to approve. Those changes are embodied in the attached amended YMC 9.50 for your review and approval. The Parking Commission recommends a two -phase approach. Phase I, includes the above - discussed changes to the Parking Code, initiating education and informational efforts for downtown parking and way - faring assistance, and procurement of five parking lot fee - accepting machines to replace the dilapidated manual boxes currently in place. Subsequent to installation of these devices (two in Lots 1 and 2, and one in Lot 4) users of these parking lots will have two -hour free parking and one - dollar per hour thereafter Phase I will be implemented within the City's existing parking enforcement resources. However, as requested by members of the Council DYFI Committee, the Parking Commission has made development of an enhanced enforcement plan a top priority A map is included showing the lots and on- street parking time zones as proposed in the amended ordinance. City Finance has verified that the CBD Fund has approximately $75,000 available and appropriated for the purposes described in the Parking Commission recommendations. This revenue comes from monthly pass collections and the sale of downtown right of ways. In summary, the Parking Commission requests Council approval of the items found under "Phase l° of their March 2009 reporL Technical information on the parking meter technology is also included. Staff has discussed ilp Portland, Oregon the experience they have had with these CALE manufactured devices. T experience has been good. , Portland has nearly 1,300 of these devices in place. If Council con with the Parking Commission recommendation for the CALE MP 104 devices at approximately .$8,000 per unit, Purchasing has an established agreement with Portland to purchase off their contract with CALE, thus avoiding considerable preparatory and contract development time. The manager of the Portland parking system does not lease these units but prefers to purchase outright and recommends that we do so also After discussion with both the vendor and the City of Portland, the recommendation it to have the meters accept debit/credit cards and coins, but not bills. Not only does the bill accepting model cost significantly more due to the required bill validation technology involved, other operational complications with bills become evident.

Phase 1 can be implemented immediately within the existing parking enforcement structure. However, Phase 2, which deals with enforcement issues and the resulting increased revenue, is key to developing the most cost efficient means to monitor parking compliance and to adequately finance ongoing maintenance. Phase 2 will demand a well researched, well thought out public/private partnership. PHASE 1 Estimated Funding $52,500 ✓ Hours (On Street) — immediately change downtown core to two -hour parking with .a one -hour section on Yakima Avenue between Neches Avenue and Second Street; on Second and Third Streets between A Street and Chestnut Avenue; and on Fourth Street between Yakima Avenue and Chestnut Avenue. The rest of the area should remain two hours. We also suggest keeping the 30- minute section on S. Neches Avenue and the 15- minute section in front of the United States Post Office. ✓ Hours (Off Street) — immediately change the hours in the off street lots to two free hours and $1.00 per hour afterwards. Those lots #s are 1, 2 and 4 Increase monthly spots to $40 per month (this is two dollars a day). We also recommend limiting monthly parking permits to 30% of the available spots in these lots. For the time being, we also recommend making the lot on South Second Street (lot# 5) free to all -day parking due to It's out of the way location and current limited demand. S / Lot Conditions — immediately work with the City of Yakima Streets Department to restripe and update the numbering system in lot #4 If funds are available, research updating the landscaping and visibility around the pay stations. ✓ Signage — ask City of Yakima Public Works Department to work with the Downtown Parking Commission to create a new way - finding and signage plan; then have the sign department create and install new signage. Estimated Cost: $5,000 ✓ Education— allocate funds for design of a new educational brochure (including utility bill inserts) and website that features information on where to park, where to purchase permits and how to use the parting technology in the lots. This effort may include Y -PAC programming to explain the changes. Include a `grace' period for at least the first three months and use it as an educational process to tell current users of the changes. Estimated Maximum Cost $10,000 ✓ Revenue Collection — Affect the purchase of 5 solar powered Smart Meters for lots 1, 2 & 4 Information regarding a proto-type system considered for Portland, Oregon is attached. Estimated Cost $37,500 (the estimated monthly operation costs per unit is $100) PHASE 2 Estimated Funding: $17,500 (including costs associated with Phase 1 that cannot be estimated) ✓ Enforcement— initiate a joint effort amongst the Yakima Police Department, the Downtown Parking Commission, and the City to identify the most cost - efficient parking compliance solution, not only for downtown core, but all of downtown. Have joint team review proposals from various technology companies to help us ensure effective turnover of our most valuable parking space and to develop a balanced pubfic/private enforcement shategy ✓ Revenue Usage — review revenue usage to ensure that the money stays downtown to strengthen the parking 40 enforcement system and aid in downtown maintenance projects. The total funding request for both phases is $75,000. We understand that this amount is currently available in the City's caplet fund. Based on the parking lot permit and hourly fees accrued between 2000 and 2004, we estimate that the $75,000 investment would be recouped in 2 to 3 years from the date that effective enforcement is in place. Attached is a ten year historical comparison parking enforcement revenues and expenditures.

For Meeting Of: February 15, 2005 ITEM TITLE An Ordinance relating. to Parking in the Downtown Area SUBMITTED BY. Finance Department Economic Development Department CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE. Bill Cook, Director of Community - and Economic Development 575 -6113 _. Pete Hobbs, Utility Services Manager 575 -6080 SUMMARY EXPLANATION. The City Council considered this information at its January 18, 2005 meeting and requested staff to consult with the West Side Merchants and Front Street Association to confirm that they agree with the proposed changes to the parking limits in the area outside the 16 -block core area, but within the downtown area outlined m the ordinance. Monica Weyhe, member of the Yakima Downtown Association, consulted with the other downtown groups and determined that the Westside and Front Street Merchants were not prepared to comment on the proposed changes without additional discussion and evaluation by their respective • organizations. However, because many of the proposed changes only affect the 16 -block YDA area (i.e. 3- ) hour parking bruit in city -owned lots, percentage of parking lot spaces committed to monthly parking, and the quarterly rental rate), and because YDA is anxious to move forward with extended downtown parking limits in their own 16 -block area, the ordinance ha been amended to change parking limits only within the YDA 16 -block area. When and if the other two associations are ready to recommend similar changes, we will come back to Council to recommend amendments to this ordinance. At the February 1, 2005, City of Yakima Council meeting the Parking Ordinance was removed from the agenda to allow time to address the issue of residential parking permits in the downtown core area. The attached ordinance repeals section 9.50.205, Residential Parking Permits for City Owned Parking Lots, and amends section 9.50.220 of Chapter 9.50 to add residential parking within one section. This ordinance just addresses the downtown parking lots in the 16 -block core area. \ - Continued on Page two- Resolution Ordinance X Contract Other (Specify) Funding Source APPROVAL FOR SUBMITTAL. ���� a City Manager STAFF RECOMMENDATION Pass ordinance 0 f COUNCIL ACTION: The Downtown area is in a state of transition. With the closing of the Yakima Mall, there is a lower deman for shopping related parking in the downtown area. There is a corresponding decrease in parking relate revenues. However, the parking requirements of .people that work in the downtown area remam. The strategy of this requested change is to get cars off the streets and into City lots, thereby freeing up street parking for customers. The Yakima Downtown Association has requested City Council to modify the current parking ordinance to include the following: • Increase the allowable number of parking permits in the City owned lots from 114 to 175 There are currently 349 spaces, mcluding handicapped spaces. • Decrease the price of permits in those lots from $120 00 to $60 00 per quarter, • Remove some restrictions on permit eligibility • Increase the free parking time in the City lots from two hours to three hours • Increase the on- street parking limit from two hours to three hours in the 16 block core business district. 2009 Parking Commission Members • Larry Hull — President — Iarrv Mike McMurrary - 457 -5151, Imcrnur6003(a�aol.COm Nick Hughes — nhughes0180echarter.net Joe Morrier — 248-4040, joe(a�iemdev.com Diance Vance — dianevance(a�vahoo.com Tony Klein — tkleinabannerbank.com Bill Lover — blover(a.ci.yakima.wa.us Rodney Lewis — rfewisCa.tlwins.com Ex Officio Dave Zabell — dzabellaci.vakima.wa.us • •
