CMlU91:9S ",,1 of , ... ~c c~";~,",,--:._.,._·c.:"_ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Senior Q>mpromise At the City Cooncil meeting of September II, 1995, staff requested app'oval of an agreement with Nalional Perl<ing Co.-poration foc operation of an attendant lot. While the Council authorized the Mayor to tKecute the agreemen~ Council direc'.ed staff 10 negotiate I CWIpIomise "ith representative. of the sec regarding attendant 101 use by seniors who make use of the servius provided by the sec and La Comida. Council will recall that C!IlTently, 25 spaco. in La! C are foc Semor Cen!er users. Staff'. crigimI proposal was 10 retain those 25 .pace. and 10 designate 15 spaco. in the attendant lot 10 be allocated free of charje foc IlSe1"l of the Senior Center. Concerns were raised about the firulncial burdens associated willt seniors having 10 pay 10 park in the attendant lot and the inadequate number of spaces lvallable for seniors 10 park. AA a result ofdUs cliJutioa and based upon dlose concerns, staff met with representatives from the Senior Coordinating CoonciI and reached • mutually agreeable compromise. In e.ddi60n 10 the 25 designaled spaces in lei C. 10 spac. ... in the attendant lot would be designated fer seniors who utilize services provjded by the sec and La Comid. free of charge fer any length of time. In addition to the 10 spaces, other seniors could pari< in the attendant portion of the 101 on an is available basis, and receive a \'llIidatioo from the sec or La Comida fortwe hours of free parldng. After the two hour period has been exceeded, semors "'<>wd pay according 10 the oormal fee schedule. Tbc valida600 process would require seniors 10 obtain I validatioo stamp on the back of their padjng lag from sec or La Comlda staff, which "'<>wd be presented 10 the attetidant at the lime they leave the lot. While other options were discussed, staff and Senior CoocWnating Council representatives believe this COOlpromise represents I fair and easily implemented procedure that would guarantee up 10 I total of 35 spacos for senior lISe only and, based upon the availability of spaces, two hours of free parking ill the 101 closest 10 the Senior Center facilities. Due 10 the fact that success of the attendant 101 in general "ill nol be known until the 101 has been in operation for • periOO of time. it is nOl possible 10 predicl how many space. will be aV1lil.ble for seniors 10 lISe. For this reason, staff and sec representative. would plan on meeting three In<>oths after the actuaJ strut-up to .,'aluatc the situation. 1'»0< 2 " • .. -,', - .. , < ./-. . ' . , -.. ---~ -"" . , Because !he 1995-% Municipal re. Schedule currently sets a re. for parking, but does not aud>crize • validation I-~ it must be amended to allow the City to establish this program forsenion. Pending Council appr"val of the attached resolution, staff anticipates beginning operation of the alIenclam lot !he first part of December, in time for the holidays. Genera! Validation Council had requested staff to investigate a general validation process for all DSeTS of the a!leodant lot Based upon infonnation n:<;ei-;ed from the vendor and frOOl OIller similar parlcing operations, while there are differenI \'BJUtiOnS, III05I options fall under two categories. The first calcg<lIy includes the purchase of validation stickers by merchants fur use by their customers. Slid ... are !Old 10 the m.:rcll.ants who, in tum. p<ovide them 10 their custome .... allowing them .fr« parlring fur any p<e-desigoated period of time from one 10 eight hoors. ~ other option would include !he City providing the parking coupons to the merchants without eost This option. of course, conId eosily result in the City's to!aI subsidy of the otttendant lot operation. Due to the· uncertainty of the level md I)Ipe of usc of the attendant lot. together wilh the logistics of initiating any sort oflleneral validation process, staff recommends that I general validation proc.es. not be rons;dertd during the one year trial period. If the lot is successful, oIlhe end ol!he year, and allhe time sta1f returns 10 Council with an evaluation oC the attendant lot concep(, staff will provide. recommendation for I specific detaIled validation process Cor Council consideration. Council will note that the language in the attached BAO would allow a general validation program to be implemented all later d.te, if CM:ncil so desired. fiSCAL IMPACT Without actual experience, it is dlfficult 10 determine the amount of revenue the City will realize from Ibe operation ol the attendant lot, hUI the goal is 10 operate on I break even basis. Staff will report on actual revenue receipts once operatiooal cxperienc<: hIS been gained. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT This p<oject is C<JDsidered exempt from environmental review.
