Summary
Commission approved raising hourly parking from $3.00 to $3.25 (resident benefit kept at 50% of the fee); staff said 508 residents are enrolled in the resident program and generated modest parking transactions and revenue in August.
The Commission approved a resolution increasing the citywide hourly parking rate from $3.00 to $3.25 while preserving a resident differential that charges residents 50% of the posted rate. Staff said the change was included in the adopted budget and clarified it excludes the library parking lot.
Staff reported that as of the memo's drafting 508 residents were enrolled in the resident program; for August the program generated roughly 350 transactions and about $635 in parking revenue (the memo said 118 program members completed 350 transactions generating approximately $635 of revenue for August, and staff characterized the program as successful with steady new registrations). Commissioners discussed user verification and the onboarding process; staff explained document upload and manual validation are required and that the city can audit and seek reimbursement if a registrant is later found to be ineligible.
Commissioners asked the vendor about push‑notification capacity for marketing and about adding enrollment functionality; staff said some functionality requires manual validation and proposed follow-up to explore in‑app messaging and outreach. The resolution passed 5–0.
