Staff is moving forward on five individual aspects of Downtown parking, and all are progressing well. They are: 1) Parking control equipment purchases and installation (bids submitted-to be brought to Council at a future meeting) 2) Marshall Garage entrance configuration (bids accepted) 3) Parking garage and lot operations (RFP prepared for Marshall Garage, Middlefield Lot T, and the new Jefferson Garage) 4) Parking Management (tonight's discussion) 5) Parking Requirements (tonight's discussion) A chart is attached (Parking: The Big Picture) which describes each of these components in more detail. Items #1 to #3 are "nuts and bolts" issues, while items #4 and #5 are important policy issues that the Council must set. Parking management relates to such issues as prices for City- operated parking, time limits, and hours of enforcement. Parking requirements refer to the amount of parking that must be provided with new development per our Zoning Ordinance. These two topics will be the focus of tonight's presentation.
