ITEMS FROM THE COMMISSION:

the year to obtain a parklet permit. Marissa Garren, Secretary to the Parking Place
Commission confirmed, the end of the year date this is not a hard deadline.
Commissioner Chan asked if the fees would be going to ECO or the parking district
fund . Marissa Garren, Secretary to the Parking Place Commission responded, fees
for the permits will most likely go to ECD, encroachment permit fees to Engineering
and occupied parking spaces to the parking district fund. Public Works Staff are
waiting for a response from ECD to confirm whether recovery costs will be received
from the two businesses and if so, how far back.
• Commissioner Chan asked if surface lot 18 would be redeveloped soon. Marissa
Garren, Secretary to the Parking Place Commission responded, we would get
ample notice and the plans are extended until 2025 due to funding issues.

where KFC is. Marissa Garren, Secretary to the Parking Place Commission
responded, Eden Housing is working with the owners of KFC on an agreement.
Commissioner Chan asked if we would be getting compensated a surface lot if lot
18 gets redeveloped. Dave Bockhaus, Public Works Deputy Director responded,
lot 18 was always meant to be a temporary lot to compensate for the
redevelopment.
• Commissioner Chan asked if we could do a study session before the downtown
walkthrough and make it open to the public. Marissa Garren, Secretary to the
Parking Place Commission responded, the walkthrough would need to be
scheduled as a special commission meeting to comply with the Brown Act and take
place in spring/summer 2024 when there is more daylight.
• Commissioner Chan asked if we could contact the private company who is working
on the carousel parking for the Grand Ave & Cypress Ave Apartments. It would be
a good idea to get some insight from the company to see how we can incorporate
that idea into our future parking garage. Marissa Garren, Secretary to the Parking
Place Commission responded staff will reach out to the private company and do a
survey on their carousel parking.

increasing rates. Dave Bockhaus, Public Works Deputy Director responded we will
invite ECD in on a future meeting to discuss the garage project and increasing
rates. Vice Chair Abarca asked when there will be talks of the development of the
new parking garage. Marissa Garren, Secretary to the Parking Place Commission

need to raise the cost of not only the permits but other factoring costs to raise
enough funds.
