Fees for the Residential Parking Permit Program (RPPP) in

WHEREAS, on October 5, 2009 the City Council adopted an ordinance
approving the College Terrace Residential Parking Permit Program (RPPP); and
WHEREAS, the RPPP in College Terrace allows vehicles displaying a resident
pennit, guest pennit, or day permit to use on-street parking, Monday through Friday from 8 am
to 5 pm; and

funded through permit fees and directed staff to return with funding requirements for the
program;
WHEREAS, enforcement of the RPPP officially began in December 2009, and
during the past 9 months, the Police Department has issued an average of 110 citations per
month; and
WHEREAS, for the upcoming year to support the program, funds are needed for
the Community Service Officer, vehicle and equipment for the Police Department and the hiring
of temporary personnel and purchase of pennit supplies in the Revenue Collections Department;
and
WHEREAS, to keep costs at a level where resident participation would not be
affected and where the program would continue to be effective in keeping cars from parking in
the neighborhood for long periods oftime, a half-time patrol will be required.
WHEREAS, to continue funding enforcement while maintaining a revenue
neutral program, staff has conducted a financial analysis and determined that the cost for each
parking pennit will need to be increased from $15 to $40 per pennit and the day use pennits will
need to be increased from $2.00 to $5.00. Additionally, staff has concluded the costs for
processing lost permits are $10 for an annual permit and $25.00 for a guest permit.
