if the Commission might reconsider the motion which was

The minutes of the June 8, 1982 and July 13, 1982
regular meeting were approved as submitted.
Memo was sent to the Police Department requesting
their cooperation for special stickers/decals for
residents on Baden Avenue with metered spaces in
front of their homes. Captain McKeon suggested
that the City Attorney be contacted regarding the
scope of authority of the Commission. As yet no
reply has been received from the City Attorney.
e
Letters were sent to the following cities with
parking districts, inquiring about in-lieu fees:
Woodland, Sunnyvale, Mt. View, Gilroy, Santa
Maria, Redwood City, Pomona, Arcadia, and Martinez.
Only one verbal reply has been received from the
City of Woodland stating that their entire parking
district is an assessment district, therefore, the
spaces have already been paid for throughout the
district.
An article "Parking Garages: How Much To Operate" from
the American City and County magazine was sent to the
commission members. Director of Finance indicated it
was not 100% pertinent but had some ideas about parking
in general. The article was discussed at length; the
cost of high rise structure, maintenance cost, the neces-
sity of hiring part-time or full-time employee, etc.
Chairman Rosaia was of the opinion that when the current
bonds are retired, serious consideration be given to
float another bond to build a parki'ng structure and to
consider hiring a consulting firm for their knowledge
and expertise. Director of Finance suggested that in
the fiscal year 1983-84 allocate $5,000 to $10,O00.in
the budget for consulting fees· Some thoughts were ex-
pressed on the location of the parking structure, pos-
sibly the three lots on Miller Avenue or the Baden
Avenue lot.

Chairman Rosaia asked the Commission what their thoughts
were on charging $10.00 per month all day parking for
the residents on Baden Avenue. Commissioner Ross was In
agreement; however, he questioned what if the parking
space was occupied. The Director of Finance said the
permit/decal would be valid for the immediate area.
Commissioner Sciandri learning that we have had onl'~one
request, thought the Commission should not be too con-
cerned. Chairman Rosaia was of the opinion that before
the problem becomes imminent there should be a solution.
The Director of Finance suggested that this be tabled
until a reply is received from the City Attorney. He
then will formulate some alternatives based on the
findings and present it to the Commission.
The Commission was notifed that the joint meeting with
Counci~l and the Planning Commission was rescheduled to
September 22, 1982. Chairman Rosaia requested the Com-
missioners to give some thought for .items to be discussed
at this meeting. At the September 14, 1982.':Parking
Commission meeting, items to be presented will be con-
sidered before preparing the agenda for the joint meeting.
The General Ledger and the Revenue Report'for the Parking
Commission for 1981-82 was presented to the Commission.
The Director of Finance indicated that the figures
(penciled) has been updated taking into account the
payment of the bonds, interest income, and interest
expense. He explained the report in detail and a copy
of the report is attached as pages 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Commissioner Sciandri had a request from the Committee of
the Arts and Wine Festival to eliminate the meter fees on
Saturday. The idea of the festival is to bring the public
back to Grand Avenue and free parking might be of additional
inducement. Chairman Rosaia recalled that during the
Grand Avenue Daze the meters were in effect, and secondly
the public could not be notified in time of the "free
parking."

NEW BUSINESS:
Baden Parking Lot
(next to former
State Theatre)
Commissioner Sciandri inquired if any steps could~
be taken to alleviate the loss of 7 or 8 parking
spaces. Almost. daily it is taken up by the residents
of the apartment with a disabled plaque. According
to Officer Dickson and Chairman Rosaia, when the
apartment was built, a special arrangement was made
with the Commission for the disabled and the senior
citizens. Officer Dickson believes that the Police
Department cannot do anything. Further research
should be made through the City Attorney.
Baden Parking Lot
(next to Giorgi
Brothers).
Commissioner Sciandri was informed that certain in-
dividuals were using the parking lot to do repair
work on their vehicles. Officer Dickson stated that
thus far no complaints have been received by the
Police Department or by the Parking Enforcement
Officer.
Grand Avenue - 2
Hour Enforcement
Commissioner Ross asked if any action could be taken
for.those who park all day on Grand Avenue on Mondays -
the Parking Enforcement Officer's day off. Officer
Dickson said that due to the lack of manpower the
Police Service Technician cannot chalk tires and it
would create a hazard for the Motorcycle Officer to
weave in and out of parked vehicles. Commissioner
Ross had in mind a specific vehicle violating the 2
hour enforcement. Officer Dickson suggested that he
call the Police Department and ,a Police Service
Technician will chalk the tire, return in two hours
and cite him.
Wine Tasting Affair
on Grand Avenue
Officer Dickson stated that he received a notice
from the Downtown Merchants Association'about the
wine tasting fair to be held on Grand Avenue in August.

ing on Miller Awenue. Possiblity of leasing, adding

located. Mr. Ronald J. Israel, Attorney at Law, 5 Third
Street, Suite 1212, San Francisco, representing Mr.

public is excluded from parking at the three spaces
designated for the Yellow Cab Company.

provides a very beneficial and necessary service to the
