Director of Finance Lipton stated that on 7/8/86 the Planning Division had pre- sented a downtown revitalization "Main Street" program to the Parking Commission. He stated that the Commission had been impressed with the overall concept and realized that some of the items in the recommended parking study would be better served by coor- dinating them with the proposed revitali- zation program. He stated that the following items pre- viously discussed with the Council were supported by survey responses from Finance, Planning, Police and the City Manager's Office: Implement free parking at Miller/Maple lot; Improve "pathfinder" signage; Modify Parking District Management; Redefine boundaries; Public Relations/Promotion; Hire Enforcement Officer; Modify Parking Ordinance to impose time limits on all metered spaces; Change meters on Miller from Maple to Linden to 10 hours, 5~ per hour; Increase on-street meter rates to 306 for two hours; Change time limits on Grand Avenue to one hour, Airport to Walnut Avenue; Modify In-Lieu Fee Ordinance; Buy parcel at Cypress and Miller; Construct a 32 space lot; Explore purchase option adja- cent to Lots 3, 8 and 10 for an expanded facility; Consider new walkways between lanes and Grand Avenue as development occurs. Chairman Sciandri stated that after working with the Consultant for nine months to effect this plan, there was backing from the people in the area that want this plan implemented soon. He stated that at the present time the resurfacing of the lots had gone to bid; and if the new parking enforcement officer was hired it would all be for the good of the people. He stated that the plan was primarily to put employees and the merchants cars in the lots and have the consumers park on the street, but to effect this it must all work together. 7/30/86 Page 2 e Staff Report 7/30/86 that gives an informational report on the implementation of the Parking Study.
