ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
o Update on Meeting Procedures and Schedule (INFORMATIONAL)
Secretary Espiritu brought up for the Commissioner’s consideration the
previous proposal that Chief Planner Rozzi introduced at the June 2022
meeting, to move the Parking Place Commission meetings from a monthly
occurrence to a quarterly occurrence. Chief Planner Rozzi previously noted that
the Parking Place Commission does not typically have monthly occurring items
to consider for approval or otherwise. Parking Place Commission duties are to
set parking meter rates, or conduct other parking district business identified by
DocuSign Envelope ID: E5DF6211-46C7-4AD2-B6D5-4833C650EC68
the City Council. By moving the Commission Meetings to quarterly
occurrences, staff and the Commission can better identify items for
consideration and not result in deliberation of items that are beyond the scope
of the duties of the Parking Place Commission. Also, in the past, the
Commission had identified items that are more appropriate for the Traffic Safety
Commission to consider and suggest actions, such as construction impacts on
parking.
o Vice Chair Malfatti inquired if fewer Parking Place Commission meetings
would result in public concerns not being addressed in a timely matter.
Secretary Espiritu noted that those public concerns would be addressed
in the Traffic Safety Commission meetings and historically, those public
concerns raised by the Commission are typically not related to the
management or operations of meters.
o Chair Monzon inquired about having more clarification on the duties and
responsibilities of the Parking Place Commission. Commissioner Abarca
agreed with Chair Monzon, this role is more than setting the rates of car
garages and meters; both would like these meetings to discuss the
general parking issues for the public.
o Secretary Espiritu and Principal Planner Friedman stated that staff will
need to discuss this interpretation of the Commission’s role with the City
Attorney and Department managers and will provide more information
to the Commission, to ensure that meetings are useful, and to clarify the
commission’s roles and responsibilities.
o Staff shall include this item on a future meeting agenda for the Parking
Place Commission.
ITEMS FROM THE COMMISSION
