-Christopher Espiritu, Secretary to the Commission, provided the monthly
parking revenue report information for the months of January through June
2021. Staff noted that the revenues are increasing as we continue to recover
from the pandemic. Staff also provided a report listing the total monthly permit
parking revenue and Miller Ave Parking Structure revenues. Commissioner
Monzon asked about the balance of the parking fund. Staff noted that we do
not have a full picture yet. Finance provided the additional report but did not
yet give us access to the Parking Fund Balance. We will have more
information available at the next meeting.
ITEMS FROM THE COMMISSION
Commissioner Monzon noted it would be good to know how much we actually have
in the bank. How much do we have specifically dedicated to parking funds for the
new parking garage? We want to make sure we have the money we need when
the time comes to build the new garage.
Commissioner Abarca also asked for more details about the parking revenues and
if they are kept the general fund or separated out. Staff will get more information
from Finance and from the staff working on the new parking garage project.
Commissioner Malfatti understands that the public comment question was not
under this commission’s purview but would like a follow up on that issue once the
appropriate department looks into it so we can be informed in case we are
approach by other members of the community with the same issue.
Commissioner Monzon asked about the Outdoor Dining Program. Some
businesses are not using their parklets and we could use those parking spaces
and parking meter revenues back again. Staff noted that the issue will be reviewed
by City Council on July 26, 2021. Some businesses have already elected to
remove their parklets and are in the process of doing so. A final determination will
be made by City Council on the rest of the parklets. The Commissioner suggested
that the parklets should not be permanent since we have a high need for the
parking spaces, especially on Linden.
Chairperson Abarca adjourned the meeting at 5:31 p.m.
Respectfully submitted.
