0001"' — Parking
(Traffic)
Ordinance
Update
DECEMBER 16 ,
2024
Goals for Work Session
• Define Days/Hours of Enforcement
• Determine the length of time for free parking — if any
• Determine Updates for Rates for On Street and Ramp Parking
• Determine Updates for Citation Fees
• Review changes suggested for the Traffic Code ordinance update for
approval at next council meeting
Page 37 of 43
Enforcement Hours
Current Proposed
• Monday — Friday • Monday — Friday
• 9:00 AM — 5:00 PM • 10:00 AM — 7:00 PM
Questions:
Should we change the Days of
Enforcement?
Should we change the Hours of
Enforcement?
Page 38 of 43
Free Parking
• Consultant Suggested 90 minutes of free parking
➢ He also stated that Free Parking does not attract people
➢ This will affect parking revenues by an estimated $250,000 annually.
• In FY23 we had $392,266 in parking revenue and $366,736.65 in parking expenses (net gain of
$25,529).
• In FY24 we had $349,190.51 in parking revenue and $398,016.20 in parking expenses (net
loss of $48,825.69).
• YTD for FY25 revenue is at $172,783.71 in parking revenue and $249,659.59 in parking
expenses (net loss of $76,875.88).
• People would still need to put their plate information into a kiosk or phone
application to start the clock for the free parking
• Kiosks have the option for coupon codes
• Questions for Free Parking Topic:
➢ If we offer free parking because the consultant suggested it, how much time do we offer
for free?
➢ Do we keep the Stop and Grab spots if offering free parking?
➢ Will the $1 .00 per hour after the initial free parking time be enough to make up for free Page 39 of 43

Other Updates to the Ordinances
Needed
• The updates to the ordinance that Mohammad and Tina had reviewed were
sent as a separate attachment. These were slightly reviewed last Work
Session but were tabled until we had kiosks and knew what route we wanted
to go with rates.
• At the very least, we need to review the other changes not related to rates
today to make sure we can update the ordinance so the pay stations are
compliant with the city traffic code as well as the updating the time zones.
