Subject: Communication from the Transit and Parking System Manager requesting authorization for a pay-by-space parking kiosk demonstration project. (Res.11-2527)
Recommendation of the Transit and Parking Commission on 04-27-11: Recommend giving authorization to the Transit and Parking System Manager to initiate a Pay-by-Space Parking Kiosk Demonstration in the Library Parking Lot to test the potential use of credit card/cash/coin kiosk hardware as a way to improve efficiency and provide customers additional options. The demonstration project is to start as soon as May 16, 2011 and will be evaluated after at least six months of operations. All spaces in the Library Parking Lot, with the exception of two already designated handicapped stalls, are to be for a maximum rental of four hours. The handicapped stalls are to remain free pending an opinion from the City Attorney's Office and the City Attorney will review existing parking ordinances for any potential changes to allow for the potential permanent usage of the Pay-by-Space technology.
Fiscal Note: Equipment purchase was previously approved and funded. No immediate fiscal impact.
