and DYFI Committee recommendations by approving the Phase I list of items.
0 BOARD /COMMISSION /COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Council DYFI Committee sends the
Parking Commission's recommendationso the full Council for approval of Phase I items.
COUNCIL ACTION:
1111 . •
Attached is the full list of recommendations from the Yakima Parking Commission, who had essentially
completed this work in November of . DYFI Committee has reviewed these parking
amendment changes to the on-street parkind 'ertireity4ivned lot parking and sends them to the full
Council with 'a recommendation to approve. Those changes are embodied in the attached amended
'YM your review and approval:
The Parking „.e • . ,
Commission reconirnends,:e*o-phase epprOach.,PhasetinCludes the abOve-disCussed
changes to the. Parking Code, initiating .education and informational ;efforts for downtown parking and
way-faring assistance, and procurement, of. 061 parking IOt,fee-,aCCepting„Machines to replace the
dilapidated manual boxes currently in piece. 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-hourtree 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 Mi 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 aPhase la of their March 2009 report. ' —
Technical information on the parking meter technology is also included. Staff has discussed
Portland, Oregon the experience they 'have had with 'these CALE' dienideCtureedeviCeS. Thee
experience has been good, Portland has nea ny,1,300 of,these4eyices in place, If , Council .concurs
with the Parking , Commission recommendation for the d'ALE'MP.:104 approximately
per unit, Purchasing has Arl,41aWilps! -- agrppingrit with Portland to purchase off their contract with
ALE, thus avoiding iconsiderable development time. Thecineneaer of the
Portland parking system does not lease:these:units but prefers pLiOlas6,duitrighf and recommends
that 4e.,,d0„ so . After, discussion .the 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. Once decisions have been made as to
operational responsibility, the appropriate banking relationships will be -established to implement the
• collection and processing of fees. The attached resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute the
necessary- agreement to procure the CALE parking equipment 'and 'other documents 'Or agreements
directly related to the successful installation, operation.and.management of this equipment._

YAKIMA PARKING COMMISSIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS TO UPDATE THE DOWNTOWN PACING SYSTEM — March 24, 2009 ,
The following is a summary of the Parking Commission recommendations to the Yakima City Council, a
, , .,.
corresponding funding request The recommendations are made in two phases '. phasej can be implemented
immediately within the existing parking enforcement structure. However, Phase 2, which deals with
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 willdernend a well researched; well thought
out public/private partnership.
PHASE 1 Estimated Funding $52.500
. . „ .
V Hours (On Street) — immediately change downtown core to two-hour parking wittf a one-hour section an Yakima n-
,
Avenue between Neches AYenue 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 in front
, .
of the United States Post Office. . r•
1 Hours (Off Street) — immediately change the hours in the off street lots to two free hours and $1L0 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 aYailable spots in these lots For the time being, We
also recommend making the on South Second Street (lot # 5) free to all-day parking due to it's out of way
, . . .
d
location and current limited demand
Lot Conditions — immediately work with the City of Yakima Streets Department hnent to restripe and update the nuMbering
4w .., .
system in lot #4. If funds are available; research updating the landscaping and visibility around the pay statiOns.
1 Sionsaite — ask City of Yakima Public Works Department to work with the Downtown Parking Commission to createa
new way-finding and signage plan, then have the sign department create install neyiSignage.:tstirfiated Cost
$5,000
1 Education— allocate funds for design of a new educational brochure (including utility bill inserts) and web 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
1 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 Estimatted Funding: $17:,500,(inciuding costs associated with Phase 1 that cannot be estimated)
1 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 teanirevieW'proPosals from various technology companies to help us ensure effective
turnover of our most valuable parking space and to develop a balanced public/private enforcement strategy
1 Revenue Usage — review revenue Usage to' 'ensure that the money stays downtown to strengthen the parking
,
enforcement system and aid in downtown maintenance projects.
0
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 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.

12. Consideration of Ordinance amending the °' unicipal Code regarding parking in
the 16 -block downtown area (continued from 1/18/05)
Council Member Bonlender reported that the Downtown Association is
recommending that within the 16 -block area the two -hour parking be converted to
three -hour free parking, the fee for employees in the parking lots be cut in half to $20
a month, and expand the number of permits allowed in the lots. We want to get both
private and government employee cars off the street. Council Member Sims asked if
the members addressed the residential parking needs and Council Member
Bonlender replied that they did not. Assistant City Attorney McMurray interjected that
this ordinance addresses residential parking permits, combining the old ordinance
into this ordinance at the request of the Downtown Association. Regarding the
review, or sunset clause, he pointed out that Section 1 in 9.50.220.A, states that on
or about March 1, this ordinance would be reviewed. Council Member Bonlender
stated that if the other business associations want changes to this ordinance, it could
be reviewed sooner. The City Clerk read the ordinance by title. BONLENDER

AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No.
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 in 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
0 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 limit 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 has 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.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Pass ordinance.
0 • COUNCIL ACTION:
The Downtown area is in a state of transition.: With the closing of the Yakima Mall, there is a lower demand
for shopping related parking in the downtown area. There is a corresponding decrease in parking related )
revenues. However, the parking requirements. of people that work in the downtown area remain. 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, including handicapped spaces
• Decrease the price of permits in those lots from $120.00 to $60.00 per quarter,
o . .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.
