Motion/Seconded - Commissioner Ross, Commissioner
Rosaia to accept the Resolution as written.
Commissioner Sciandri inquired if the study being made
by the Community Development could eliminate the hiring
of an outside parking consultant. Associate Planner
stated they are gathering information for the consultant.
They are cataloging land use~ by type and square footage
so that when a new proposal comes under the 200' radius,
it can be calculated based on the existing land useage
the required number of parking spaces.
The parking consultant would be hired to:
1. Check existing lots for location, whether it would
be adapatable for multi level structure.
2. Possibility of adding lots instead of a multi level
structure.

3. Feasibility of selling existing lots for a

4. Methods of financing.
5. Study to be made before the bonds are retired
June 1985.
Chairman Sciandri mentioned when the bonds are retired,
June 1985, the Parking District may be disbanded. The
Director of Finance stated the Parking Commission's
existence is not contingent upon the outstanding bond.
It is contingent upon the City operating a Parking
District as an entity amd 'having a commission govern
the operation. As easily as the District was created
it can be easily disbanded. There is no indication
from the City Council that they want to disband because
there is still a need for controlled use, controlled
growth and a bridge with the Planning Commission.
The bid award of $58,000 will be awarded by the City
Council December 14. It is $7,000 less than what was
budgeted. The work will be done between now and March,
dependent upon the weather.
On December 27, the Parking Meter Collector/Repairman
will remove the Christmas free parking signs. It was
requested through Officer Michael Dickson that a 2
hour grace be granted during the morning.

Ms. Cauterucio was requested by Mr. John Penna to
express his opinion, that two representatives ap-
pearing before the Commission would not bear any
impact. They would like to take a poll of the
merchants and return, with no attendance restriction,
for the December meeting.
The following views were voiced by the represenatives:
Did take offense to the letter addressed "Dear
Ladies" as there were signatures of gentlemen
on the petition, merchants and employees.
Ms. Cauterucio stated she did not see the legal
notice which was published in the Enterprise
Journal. The Downtown Merchants Association
should have been informed of this increase. Had
they known, representatives would have been present
at the meeting to voice their opinions.

PETITION (continued) 3.
Doubling permit parking fee with no explanation.
Presumed it was to purchase the Baden Avenue lot,
however, it was the consensus that another parking
lot was needed. The increase may be all right for
those who park all day, but for out-of-town part
time workers, it is another situation.
Customer complaints: .meters are not accurate; nOt
enough free parking especially with the street
sweeping schedule; need lighting behind the Bay
View Federal Savings parking lot.
The Commissioners clarified the following:
1. Chairman Sciandri personally spoke to a member of
the Downtown Merchants Association of the increase.
2. The necesSity for increasing the fee:
a. Additional expense of paying for the lighting
in all the lots.
b. $30,000 budgeted for restripingand repaving the
lots.
c. $10,000 budgeted for parking study.
d. Purchase of Baden Avenue lot.
e
Availability of monthly parking permits at the Finance
Department for $15.00, which breaks down to 75¢ per
day.
e
The Parking District does not have jurisdiction of
the street sweepers, cracks in the sidewalk, speeding,
etc. Generally, the non metered zones are not within
the District. The parking lot behind Bay View Federal
Savings and Loan is private property.
Commissioner Rosaia stated half of Baden Avenue lot, when
developed, will be for permit parking. Since the lot is
situated behind Richard's Gifts, Bronstein's Music and
West Coast Church Supplies, could they develop a rear
entrance for the convenience of everyone.

The Director of Public Services, upon the request
of the Parking Commission, has submitted a re-

Memo from Community Development indicating opposition
to the concept of in-lieu fees. They have checked with
other cities and learned that, to date, no parking lot
has been developed with the in-lieu fees collected.
It has not proven to be an effective alternative.
The Commissioners were in agreement they do not want
to turn down any new project or remodeling and dis-
cussed at length:
1. The possibility of in-lieu fees charged too
costly to be feasible.
2. Alternatives:
When application is made for a Use Permit,
determine the parking space needed and have
them purchase parking permits as required.
To distribute the use of the various parking
lots, some method of color coding was suggested.
b. Assessment district.
The Associate Planner stated a random study of the
downtown area will be made. The data gathered from
this study may help in solving some of the problems
for the District.

The Commissioners would like to have a joint meeting
with the Planning Commission as soon as possible.
At the last Council Meeting, the Council agreed to
forego the first payment of $65,000 for fiscal year
1984-85 so that the parking lot could be developed.
The Director of Public Services and the Engineering
Division will begin working on the plans. The Director
of Finance stated the parking lot will not be developed
before February or March. In the meantime, all docu-
mentation and transactions will be prepared so that
work can begin when the rainy season ends.
Commissioner Rosaia expressed concern about the
property in the meantime~ Director of Finance said
the property still belongs to the City. The City will
erect a fence on Third Lane and will be inaccessible.
Weed abatement and other maintenance problems will be
taken care of by the City.
No determination has been made when the first payment
of $65,000 will be made, at the beginning or the end
of the fiscal year.
Commissioner Rosaia inquired if a determination has
been made about the interest. Per the Director of
Finance, at the Council Meeting it was the City
Attorney's position that any discussion of interest
payment be postponed until all of the official docu-
ments are drawn, which will be at the end of 1983.
$30,000 has been allocated in the Capital Improvement
Budget for restriping and resurfacing the existing
lots. The Commissioners would, like to make an in-
spection of all the lots before determination is
made. Miller and Maple lot will be the last in
priority.

The Commissioners questioned the revenue from the permit
lots. The Director of Finance stated the Parking Enforce-
ment Officer collects and counts the monies for the permit
lots, the Parking Meter Collector/Repairman collects and
counts the monies for the meters. The possibility of not
crediting the proper account was negligible. He further
stated as far as can be determined the total occupancy of
the permit lots are about 40%. With the increased rates,
a revenue of $4,500.00 may be expected.
Walnut Avenue permit lot, the meter revenue is being
credited to the meter account. The meter rates will re-
main the same 50¢ for l0 hours. The monthly permit will
be increased to $15.00 per month.
Various aspects were discussed on the consultant study.
When the consultant should be hired:
a. Before the bonds are retired; survey our parking
situation; to determine what lot is large enough
for a multi level structure; financial study to
meet future needs, floating of a bond, etc.
be
Wait two years until the bonds are retired;
develop Baden Avenue to see what the needs will
be; trade of Miller and Maple Avenue with Cypress
and Miller Avenue.
Commissioner Rosaia asked if it would be possible to have
a general meeting with the parking consultants giving them
a general outline of what information we need and have them
give us an approximate cost but will not necessarily accept
the proposal at this time. The Director of Finance asked
what reason would you have for not accepting one of the
proposal since the consultants are aware that the Parking
District is budgeted for this study. It was agreed by
the Commission that the study will be postponed for 6 to
8 months.
Following the list furnished by the League of California
Cities, letters were sent to those cities with a Parking
District and In Lieu Fee requirements. Six replies were
received, the average cost per space was $3,400 to
$3,600. The ordinances generally stipulated:
1. If the developer is unable to provide space, the
City will provide space at sometime in the future.
The monies will be set aside in a special fund for the
express purpose of acquistion, construction and main-
tenance of parking within a certain area with no
time limit.

Chairman Sciandri inquired if there would be any problem
with the past developments. Per the City Attorney, the
City has maintained that when a new law goes into effect
it cannot be retroactive.
Commissioner Rosaia would like to have another meeting
with the Planning Commission to get their input and to
see what the other cities are doing. The Associate
Planner indicated she would be interested to know,
with the implemenation of the in lieu fee, if it drew
small business out of the downtown area. At the
Planning Commission's first meeting in September, she
will ask about the joint meeting. The Director of
Finance and the Associate Planner will coordinate the
joint meeting.
A meeting with the City Manager,.City Attorney, Director
of Public Services and Director of Finance to agree on
an approach to develop the Baden Avenue property. A
memo from Chairman Sciandri to the City Manager stated
the Commission would like to develop the Baden Avenue
property as soon as possible. Attached to the memo is
a financial analysis of the Parking District from 1982
to 1988 which will clarify that the District can incur
additional debt and still be financially solvent to dis-
charge all obligations and function legally. To request
the City to defer the first payment for the purchase of
the land $65,000 to 1984-85 which will enable them to
have sufficient funds to develop the property.
Commissioner Rosaia requested the Director of Finance
to redo the memo and the financial analysis to delete
the interest payment to the City on the purchase of
the property.
The possibility of developing the lot before the rainy
season was discussed. According to the Director of
Public Services, by the time the bid could be awarded
at its earliest, the rainy season would be here. The
Director of Finance commented that the hurdle is inter-
action with the City Attorney's office to see that the
various laws of the State are satisfied; questions
answered; the ordinances and resolutions written to
include all necessary information. The Director of
Finance was requested to act as liaison to go before the
Council and the City Attorney.

Commissioner Rosaia inquired if a reply has been
received from Mr. John L. Debenedetti (property
at Cypress and Miller Avenue). Per the Director of
Finance, letter was sent in May but as yet no
response.
The City Council has not met in five weeks, therefore,
the bid has not yet been considered. 123 notices were
sent out to a cross section of people, contractors,
realtors, individuals, etc. 40 bid packages were sent,
and of that 4 bids were received, all of them to pay
the City to have the buildings demolished. The lowest
bid. was $7,900.00. It was requested by the Commissioners
to inform the City Council they were pleased at the out-
come of the bid.
Commissioner Sciandri asked when the bids may be sent
out for the construction of the lot. The Director of
Finance stated:
To find out the cost of developing the lot. Memo
will be sent to the Director of Public Services
requesting they give us an approximate cost.
2o
Funds are available to make payments to the City
for the property, however, the bonds may have to
be retired before we can develop the property.

The Parking Consultant should be hired before any
plans or decisions are made. The study should
identify each lot as to its needs, its purpose,
its value in the future, etc.
Commissioner Rosaia inquired, in the meanwhile, if
permits could be issued to those wishing to park on
the undeveloped lot. The Director of Finance was of
the opinion that parking not be allowed. He further
suggested that a chain link fence or some barrier be
installed along the entire stretch of the lot.
Also, he will request the Park Department to maintain
the lot.

Parking Enforcement
Officer
Parking District
Rates
A discussion was held on whether to request for a
second Parking Enforcement Officer position. Chief
of Police stated that even with additional citations
issued, it would not generate enough revenue to war-
rant the second position. When the Parking Enforce-
ment Officer is off duty, assistance is rendered by
the Police Service Technician. If recommendation is
to be made for additional personnel it would be for
Police Service Technicians as they are trained to do
other duties and can also assist the Parking Enforce-
ment Officer.
The Parking Enforcement Officer was commended on the
job he is doing. It was thought by the Commission
that he has too much territory to cover and perhaps
not enough time spent within the Parking District.
The Director of Finance stated it is solely up to the
Parking District to effect any rate change. The pro-
cedure is to have a public hearing; pass a resolution
based on the findings; the rates to be incorporated in
the Master Fee Schedule.
A lengthy discussion followed on the pros and cons of
the rate change:
The rate change will increase the revenue an-
nually $4,000 to $5,000. Current revenues are
$120,000 annually. With such a minimal increase
would it be worthwhile to effect this change.
0
Explanation to the public for increasing the
rates - maintenance of the parking lots on a ten
year basis. 1983-84 budget, the capital outlay
for restriping/resurfacing $25,000, new roof for
workshop $15,000.
Raising the rates to $1.00 per day may create a
conflict, increase parking on the streets - 80¢
per day vs. $1.00 per day on the permit lots.
me
Raising the rates to $1.00 per day may encourage
the purchase of $15.00 monthly permits - $15.00
vs. $17.60 (80¢ per day).

be closed from City Lot #1 to Maple Avenue, Third
through Fourth Lane on Linden Avenue. "No Parking"

In the past, the Parking District was not consulted
on the closure of Grand Avenue, causing a loss of

District, will write to the Chairman of the Festival
that a request be submitted for waiver of fees.
The Commission agreed that parking will not be en-
forced on the lots or off streets on Saturday,
August 20, 1983.
Commissioner Rosaia asked about the financial status.
Director of Finance stated the revenue will be the
same or better than last year. Additional expendi-
tures of $2,000 for the street lights. An additonal
$40,000 will be budgeted for 1983-84 for a parking
consultant and parking lot maintenance.

OLD BUSINESS:
Removal of Parking

Demolish Buildings
on the 300 block of
Baden Avenue
NEW BUSINESS:
1983-84 Budget
The Commission was of the opinion that two meters
would have to be removed to accommodate the proposed
driveway, resulting in decreased revenue and fewer
spaces available for the general public.
A motion was unanimously passed that the request to
remove the parking meter be denied.
At the last Council meeting it was agreed that the bids
be sent out as a whole project for the seven buildings
(5 homes and 2 garages) with two alternatives:
1. To pay the City for the buildings with the respon-
sibility of removing them, or
2. The City pays to have the buildings removed.
Commissioner Rosaia inquired how long would it take to
clear the property after the bid has been accepted.
It was reported to him that teenagers were seen enter-
ing the garage smoking, that lights were seen in the.
building. Director of Finance stated that the property
should be cleared within two months after the bid has
been accepted. Xe informed the Commission the DPS
work crew has cleared all the weeds, have gone through
the houses clearing it of all debris.
The debt on the property is $195,000.00 with a closing
cost of $2,000.00. The indebtedness is approximately
$65,000.00 per year for the next three years. De-
pending upon the outcome of the bid, the cost of
demolishing the buildings may be an added cost.
The budget was explained and discussed at length.
The Director of Finance stated an additional $10,000
for consultant fee will be included with the regular
budget. Also, there will be an additional $2,000
cost to the P. G. & E. for the street lights on the
parking lots. For the past many years this cost was
picked up by the Street Department.

Last year $30,000 was budgeted for restriping and
resurfacin§ and in addition $15,000 to remove the

and expansion of John Previti's work area. It was
agreed by the Commission that $30,000 be budgeted
for restriping, resurfacing and expansion.
Maureen Morton related that she will be working
closely with the Parking District. The District
will be informed of all applications received
within the downtown area to coordinate the plan.
Community Development will be a resource to the
District in terms of dealing with the consultant
and the study to be made. She stated there is a
specific planning area delineated for the down-
town parking area and these plans will be presented
at the next meeting.
The Commissioners express their appreciation and
are looking forward to workin§ together.

The special meeting was requested by the Planning
Department to review the proposed expansion of the
Croation Building, 415, 417, 417~ Grand Avenue
and 416 Third Lane.
Mr. Gorny explained in detail the proposed expansion:
1. Demolish the building on Third Lane.
e
The existing building at 417-417½ Grand Avenue
does not have a basement, the Third Lane portion
of the building will have a basement.
First and second floor will consist of offices which
will be connected to the existing building at 415
Grand Avenue by corridors. Third floor, expansion
of the dining room and the dance floor which will
be connected to the existing building.
4. Approxilnate addition wilt be 2,600 square feet
per floor or 7,800 square feet total.
The Hunicipal Code states the Planning Commission
cannot grant approval unless the Parking District
approves it for parking as required in the code,
i.e., one space for 200 sq. ft. of office space. The
proposed plan will have seven parking spaces. The
expansion will be approximately 7,800 sq. ft. which
requires 39 parking spaces.

Expansion of the
Croation Building
(continued)
The Director of Finance distributed to the
Commissioners a memo from the City Attorney's office
with a list compiled by the League of California
Cities of the cities with Parking In-Lieu fees
indicating rates/formulas used for the fee. Also,
it will be necessary to repeal the existing ordinance
and develop a new ordinance when In-Lieu fees are
determined.
Commissioner Rosaia was advised there was no Change
in the ordinance. Ordinance 684, established in
1975 is still in effect, which allows exemption of
parking requirements within the District when
a~proved by the Commission.
Director of Community Development stated the Planning
Commission was interested in hearing whether the
Parking Commission feels that this proposed expansion
would aggravate the parking situtation. Commissioner
Rosaia feels that there is already a parking situation
on the 400 block of Grand Avenue. The Parking Com-
mission asked the City Council to purchase the lot on
the 400 block of Baden to alleviate the existing
parking problem on the 400 block of Grand Avenue.
The City Council was against purchasing the lot,
stating that there are no parking problems.
Commissioner Rosaia is aware that the expansion
project will further aggravate the parking situation,'
but cannot deny the application.
A motion was unanimously passed that the expansion
of the Croation building be granted.
Director of Community Development commented that a
decision will also have to be made by the Planning
Commission.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:20 p.m.
