Council approves ParkMobile agreement and parking for lot across from DoubleTree Hotel
Summary
Council approved entering the ParkMobile agreement and applying paid parking to the lot across from the DoubleTree Hotel; staff clarified ParkMobile charges and signage will note that posted fees may include added app fees.
The council approved an agreement to enable ParkMobile parking in a city lot across from the DoubleTree Hotel and advanced related fee language for a future hearing.
Council member Price and staff discussed how ParkMobile charges an additional service fee (35 cents per transaction) that is added on top of posted parking rates. Price sought clarification whether the posted price would include the fee or whether the app would show an added amount; staff said the app displays the additional fee and recommended signage indicate 'fees may apply.' Council members cautioned against printing a fixed price on signage that could become incorrect; one council member recommended signs show '$5 plus fees' rather than a fixed figure.
The item covering the specific parking lot across from the DoubleTree Hotel (consent item 19) was approved on a motion with a recorded second. The first-reading fee ordinance that would set the broader schedule of parking fees will return for formal adoption; the immediate action authorized use of ParkMobile in the specified lot.
