Of the 188 <br /> parking spaces in the shared lot, the average number of staff per day is 169. <br /> There are over 1,000 participants per day and evening seeking use of the lot. <br /> Parking is not available at Costco. The cost to use the Canada parking lot is <br /> prohibitive at $3,500.00 per month. If the price is negotiable, the Parks, <br /> Recreation and Community Services Department may be able to share some <br /> expenses with the County that has 15 fleet vehicles parked at the FOCC site. <br /> Permit parking, designated parking, increased street parking, employee <br /> incentives for off-site parking, scheduling around "peak" parking times and <br /> enforcement of parking regulations are be explored as possible solutions to <br /> the problem. <br /> -Housing <br /> There is no report this month. <br /> -Public Awareness & Access to Services <br /> Commissioner M.
