Date: May 11, 2009
Item/Subject: ORDER, Amending Schedule of Fees, Schedules X and XVI, to Increase the Off -Street and
On -Street Parking Permit Rates – Chapter 291 §§291-42 and 291-42.1
Responsible Department: Community & Economic Development
Commentary:
The City Council has designated a Downtown Parking Advisory Committee whose duties are to review the
recommendations of Republic Parking System and City parking resources, prices, and policies as they relate
to on -street and off-street parking in the Downtown Parking Management Area and to provide a
comprehensive parking recommendation to the Business and Economic Development Committee of the City
Council. The Committee has met and considered the recommendations of Republic Parking System, the City's
contract agent for management of off-street parking in the downtown area. The City has not taken a
comprehensive look at parking rates since 2003, although the City increased off-street parking rates across
the board by $2 in 2007. Republic Parking's General Manager, Parke Clemons, has provided an analysis of
demand and usage and has recommended monthly rate increases ranging from $3 for the roof of the
Pickering Square Garage to $8 for Kenduskeag Plaza East, Hancock Square, and the upper level of the
Columbia Street/Hammond Street deck, the highest demand areas.
The recommended increases, if approved, are projected to increase annual parking revenue by $66,000. The
Downtown Parking Advisory Committee recommends they be implemented effective July 1, 2009. The
Republic Parking Report has been provided to the City Council separately.
