Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Ed Meece, Parking Program Manager
Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 4798, Increasing the Annual Permit Fee for the Montana State
University and High School Residential Parking Permit Districts.
MEETING DATE: May 8, 2017
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 4798, Increasing the Annual Permit Fee for the
Montana State University and High School Residential Parking Permit Districts.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve Resolution 4798, Increasing the Annual
Permit Fee for the Montana State University and High School Residential Parking Permit Districts.
BACKGROUND: The Bozeman City Commission created the Montana State University
Residential Parking Permit District and the Bozeman High School Residential Parking Permit
Districts. Residential Parking Permit Districts are required by municipal code to enact a permit fee
that provides for revenues sufficient to cover the cost of administration and enforcement (Section
36.04.350). Likewise, the Strategic Parking Management Plan (2016) accepted by the Bozeman
City Commission (7-18-2016) recommends that the Bozeman Parking Commission establish a
policy for annually reviewing and adjusting rates related to public parking within their jurisdiction.
On March 9, 2017, the Bozeman Parking Commission adopted BPC Resolution 2017-01
establishing a policy and schedule for annual parking rate reviews. At that same time, the
Bozeman Parking Commission reviewed a staff analysis of revenues, as well as administration
and enforcement costs within the Residential Parking Permit Districts. On April 13, 2017, the
Bozeman Parking Commission adopted BPC Resolution 2017-02 recommending the City
Commission increase the cost of the annual permit fee from $10
FISCAL EFFECTS: The Parking Program Manger prepared a ‘system’ depiction of the
revenues and expenses attributable to the Residential Parking Districts. In that analysis, the $10
fee increase is projected to create an additional $25,505.00 revenue within the Parking Enterprise
Fund. From a ‘system’ perspective, even after the $10 proposed fee increase, the expense of
administering and enforcing the Residential Permit Districts remains at a deficit of $47,358.00.
However, the Bozeman Parking Commission, and staff, took into consideration the $89,235.00
in citation revenues collected within the Residential Parking Districts (YTD-FY 17) when
76
determining the amount of an FY 17 fee increase. The Bozeman Parking Commission will
continue to monitor revenues and expenses attributable to the Residential Parking Permit
Districts, on an annual basis, and recommend fee increases determined necessary.
