Item/Subject: Order, Establishing On Going Special Commfttee - Downtown Parking
Advisory Committee
Responsible Department- Executive
Commentary:
The recommendations of Downtown Parking Advisory Committees established In 1997 and 2000
through 2008 demonstrated that regular compreheixNe reviews are useful In maintaining
effective administrative and enforcement policies with respect to dowmown parking.
fUMemwre, the committee formed In 2000 recommended that prices be evaluated annually.
Creation of a special purpose committee composed of Council, sWtt, and downtown
constituencies has proven to be an effective method for accomplishing that task.
While appointed annually, the Downtown Parking Advisory Committee has generally been
established for a term of two to three months. During a recent discussion, members of the
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee suggested that the Committee should have a
longer teem that would allow it to address any issues which might arise throughout the year.
The attached Order will allow the Committee to continue to operate on a year round basis. Its
general membership composition will remain the same, and the Council Chair will annually
appoint the members of the Committee. While the Committee will still be charged with
undertaking an annual systematic review and report, it will then remain available at other times
to meet as necessary.
