Fees could reduce residents' • Replacement of lost, stolen willingness to support the or mutilated permit - $25.00 program The Residential Permit Parking ordinance does not allow the recovery of enforcement costs through a permit fee, but based on comments from both the Transportation Advisory Committee and the City Council's Transportation/Mobility Sub -committee, staff evaluated whether it would be beneficial to enforcement costs of the permit parking areas into the fees for the parking permits. Two parking enforcement officers dedicating 50% of their time to the RPP program cost approximately $270,000 annually at this time. To recover this enforcement cost through permit fees would add approximately $355 to the fee of each permit on an annual basis. Staff does not recommend including the cost of enforcement in the per -permit fee for permits issued through the Residential Permit Parking Program. The cost of the permits would be prohibitive for many residents and hinder the programs ability to provide parking relief to residents. Instead, enforcement costs could be offset, in part or in full, by revenue generated from parking citations. Staff will assess this further and may recommend future City Council action related to citation fees. The purpose of the parking permit fee is to recover the costs of administration and issuance of permits, not to cover the cost of enforcing the program. At this time staff is asking the City Council to provide comments and guidance on the proposed fee schedule for the parking permits. Any guidance that Council provides will be incorporated in a revised resolution that staff will bring back to Council for approval at a future meeting. If a fee resolution is approved at a future meeting this year, fees for residential permits would be collected for parking permits issued for the 2020 permit period.
