Background Information:
December 19, 2019 - Following the Cost of Recovery study in December 2019 the Parks and Recreation Board began discussing and exploring ways in which to generate revenue for the Parks & Recreation Department. During the Board’s Discussion on December 19, 2019, the prospect of paid parking within the River Parks arose.
January 13, 2020 - The Parks & Recreation Board and Parking Advisory Board held a joint meeting to discuss the creation of paid parking benefit districts and paid parking implementation. Following the Joint meeting the Parks & Recreation Board held their regular meeting where they adopted Recommendation 2020-01RR supporting the creation of a River Benefit Parking District with the implementation of paid parking within the district.
July 7, 2020 - City Council discussed Recommendation Resolution 2020-01RR which supported the creation of a river benefit parking district with the implementation of paid parking within the district. Council provided direction to move forward with a River Benefit Parking District and for the Parks and Recreation Board and Parking Advisory Board to work together on the parking benefit district and eventually bring back recommendations to Council. The Parks and Recreation Board and Parking Advisory Board both formed subcommittees to work together on this effort.
November 19, 2020 - The Parks and Recreation Board Subcommittee provided regular updates on progress to the board and ultimately recommended Recommendation Resolution 2020-04RR to the board on November 19 during their regular meeting which was subsequently approved and sent to City Council in December 2020.
April 15, 2021 - Following the November 2020 recommendation being approved and sent to the City Council the two subcommittees reconvened and agreed to Part 5 on Recommendation Resolution 2021-02RR which was approved by the Parks and Recreation Board.
May 04, 2021 - City Council held discussion regarding Recommendation Resolution 2021-02RR and provided consensus to move forward with compiling information and further studies on a paid parking program at City Park, not Rio Vista at no charge for residents. Council also provided direction to look at a fee for parking during university home football games at City Park.
June 7, 2022 - City Council received a staff update during the Work Session regarding the results of data and vender analysis regarding the possible implementation of paid parking within the City Park parking lot. Following discussion, the City Council provided consensus for staff to proceed with a pilot program of paid parking in City Park parking lot and for the Parks and Recreation Board to develop an implementation plan.
December 15, 2022 - The Parks and Recreation Board approved the attached Recommendation Resolution which includes their recommended implementation plan. Following adoption Staff is recommending replacing the term “Proof of Residency” with “Proof of Address” during the implantation process. While the Board is recommending specific documents as being “acceptable” it is not the intent of the body to negatively impact anyone who wishes to register a vehicle.
Staff is seeking Council’s direction on the Parks and Recreation Board’s recommended implementation plan.
