The Parking Commission and City Staff recommend that the effective date of the ordinance be established 90 days hence to allow for new signage, education, brochure creation and dissemination and other outreach efforts discussed at the Council meeting and in the Parking Commission's report to unfold and take effect. Additionally, it will take some time for the procurement and installation of the new fee acceptance meters in the public lots. Resolution _Ordinance X Contract Other (Specify) Parking Commission (PC, Recommendations, Amended downtown parking map and parking cost analysis (by PC) Funding Source APPROVED FOR SUBMITTAL: `\ -� a _ City Mager STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 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. 0 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 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 Ws out of the way location and current limited demand. 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 anew 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 turnover 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. El) 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. . . . . = , ..„ , ',„.... ... - .. . ••\. 1 • • ,.. ir ..'• I ; ... ,,,,.... . ,., . • ., ....".. ; , • 7 ..,„..., ,_...., I. . ,.,.',„, ... ... ....." • -„, -- . --';-:, - "-• . ...". , . • - , ., ,,.. ;: c-,*•,,,,Tsr...4-11,711,-, - ' -.

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.

(Continued on next page.) - Resolution X Ordinance X Contract Other (Specify) Agenda Item at excerpts from 2/25/05 & 7/17/07 Council Minutes, Parking Commission Member List, Map Funding Source CBD Fund — $75,000 APPROVED FOR SUBMITTAL: ��� . j , City - STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests that Council follow the Parking Commission and DYFI Committee recommendations by approving the Phase I list of. items. 0 BOAR /COMMISSION /COMIIIITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Council DYFI Committee sends the . Parking Commission's recommendationso the full Council for approval of Phase I items. COUNCIL ACTION: Attached is the full list of recommendations from the Yakima Parking Commission, who had essentia y 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 ,f ee 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 I° 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 manufactured devices. experience has been good. ,Portland has nearly 1,300 of these devices in place. If Council concu with the Parking Commission recommendation for the CALE MP 104 devices at approximately .. $8,000 per unit, Purchasing has an_establiis agreement with Portland to purchase, off th c ontract with CALE :thus avoiding considerable preParatory , and contract development time The man 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. 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.

Consideration of Ordinance amending the Yakima Municipal Code to create a Downtown Yakima Parking Commission to serve as an advisory committee to the Yakima City Council regarding downtown parking issues Assistant City Manager Zabell pointed out that we currently have three different ordinances on downtown parking that are not coordinated. The proposed ordinance would create a commission to evaluate those ordinances and come back with a parking plan in a defined district. There was discussion on the Committee for Downtown Yakima doing the recommendations for appointment to the Commission. Council Member Whitman recommended taking out the phrase "by resolution" with regard to appointments as no other committee requires it be done by resolution. JOHNSON MOVED AND CAWLEY SECONDED TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION. Brenda Bata li commented on downtown parking, specifically that we should not charge for parking in the downtown area. CAWLEY-MOVED AND LOVER SECONDED TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE UNDER 9.49 060C TO READ "RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP ON DOWNTOWN YAKIMA PARKING COMMISSION SHALL COME BEFORE A COUNCIL APPOINTING COMMITTEE TO INTERVIEW AND RECOMMEND FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE FULL COUNCIL". Bonlender spoke against the . motion. The motion failed by a 4-2 roll call vote; Bonlender, Johnson, McClure and Whitman voting nay, Edler absent. LOVER MOVED AND CAWLEY SECONDED TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE UNDER PURPOSE, 9.49.010, TO REMOVE THE WORDS "AND CITY MANAGER ". The motion failed by a 5 -1 roll call vote; Cawley, Johnson, McClure, Whitman and Bonlender voting no; Edler absent. It was agreed to make a clerical correction to eliminate under 9.49.060C the words "by resolution." The question was called fora v.te on the original motion. The motion carried by a 5 -1 roll call vote; Lover voting nay, Edler absent. ORDINANCE NO. 2007 -35, AN ORDINANCE relating to Traffic Regulation; creating a Downtown Yakima Parking Commission to serve as an advisory committee to the Yakima City Council regarding downtown parking issues; and enacting a new chapter 9.49 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code. 4110 Beehler, Randy 477109 From: jmggellhorn ©hotmail.com Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2009 12:03 AM To: Beehler, Randy Subject: downtown parking review Importance: High I am writing in regard to the proposed changes to downtown parking. I work downtown and pay for a parking permit, and I very much appreciate being able to park near my workplace, particlarly in the winter when it is cold and often dark when I arrive and when I leave. Hence I was dismayed to read the article in today's Yakima Herald- Republic, "Downtown parking rollback proposed." I do acknowledge downtown is seeing an increase in the number of vehicles -and hence people - coming here, which is wonderful for the downtown community if a challenge in parking. -.However, .I would respectfully suggest that before reducing permitted parking spots and increasing the price and perhaps before reducing the free time from three hours to two, the city first consistently enforce existing parking limits. If you reduce the time but don't enforce it, I doubt the parking situation will change much from what it is now. I understand that there is one officer who patrols the whole city, which makes such a proposition effectively impossible, and that the city and commission are exploring other options on this. I commend such action. If parking is still at a premium after consistent enforcement, then the permits could be re- visited. (Perhaps parking could also be expanded by acquiring the apparently empty lot between the Yakima Herald- Republic and The Seasons ?) 1 would also like to point out that people who work downtown also frequent downtown businesses, and that they may have been some of the people who helped keep some of those businesses when downtown was less of a destination. Thank you kindly for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Julie Graham Julie Graham, 8000 Meadowbrook Road, Yakima 98903 • 1
