A RESOLUTIO OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE

AN EVENT PARKING FEE INCREASE, FROM $4,00 PER ENTRY TO
$6.00 PER ENTRY, FOR ALL EVENT PARKING AT THE PREFERRED

PARKING GARAGE; AND RETURNING TO $1.00 PER HOUR AND AN
$8,00 MAXIMUM DURING NON-EVENT DAYS; SAID RATE CHANGES
EFFECTIVE ON MARCH 1, 1997,
ADMIN1STRA TION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve and adopt the attached
resolution which increases the parking fee at the Preferred Parking Lot, located on Convention Center Drive
and the 5A surface parking lot, located on 17th Street and Washington Avenue, for all events, from $4,00
per entry to $6,00 per entry; establishes $1,00 per hour rate and a $6.00 maximum, per twenty four hour
period, at the 17th Street parking garage; returns to $1,00 per hour and an $8.00 maximum during non-event
days, with effective date of March 1, 1997.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to standardize fees charged for events, the Parking Department recommends a $6,00 per entry
fee at the Preferred Parking Lot and the SA surface parking lot, located on 17th Street and Washington
Avenue. This fee is already in place at the 12th Street garage, 13th Street garage, and 7th Street garage, on
weekends and event days.
ANALYSIS:
On December 21, 1988, the Mayor and City Commission approved a rate increase from $3,50 per vehicle
to $4.00 per vehicle.
On September 2, 1992, a resolution was brought before the Mayor and City Commission recommending a
rate increase from $4.00 per vehicle to $5.00 per vehicle. This recommendation was supported by the 1990
Parking Study by Kimely-Hom and Associates; this action was not officially adopted by the City
Commission at that time, However, the Parking Department has charged the $5.00 fee in the Convention
Center area for special events in the past.

With an increase of $1,00 per vehicle, the fee for such parking remains significantly below that charged by
other area communities, In addition, the enhanced revenue, which is approximately $50,000, will help
offset additional costs related to elevated security and housekeeping standards implemented for all City
facilities.
In addition, the Parking Department will assist the public looking for short-term parking in the area, by
keeping the hourly fee at the 17th Street Garage in effect and lowering the twenty four hour maximum from
$8.00 to $6.00 dollars. The Transportation and Parking Committee have recommended approval of this rate.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the current rates charged by other communities for events of this kind, and the additional costs
related to increased levels of service, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission
establish and adopt an event parking fee increase, from $4,00 per entry to $6.00 per entry for the Preferred
Parking Lot and the 5A surface parking lot located at 17th Street and Washington A venue, with an effective
date of March 1, 1997.
