Res 5084, Increasing Residential Parking District Permit FeesPage 1 of 2 REPORT TO: Bozeman City Commission FROM: Ed Meece, Parking Program Manager Brit Fontenot, Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Increase Residential Parking District Permit Fee MEETING DATE: July 15, 2019 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action RECOMMENDATION: Approve Bozeman City Commission Resolution 5084 increasing the Residential Parking Permit fee from $25 (annual) to $30 (annual). 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 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. On June 13, 2019, the Bozeman Parking Commission reviewed a staff analysis of revenues, as well as administration and enforcement costs, within the Residential Parking Permit Districts. As a result, the Bozeman Parking Commission adopted BPC Resolution 2019-04 recommending the City Commission increase the cost of the annual permit fee from $25 to $30. FISCAL EFFECTS: The Parking Program Manger prepared a ‘system’ depiction of the revenues and expenses of the Residential Parking Districts. The $5 fee increase is projected to create an additional $14,288.00 revenue in the Parking Enterprise Fund. It is worth noting that even if the $5 proposed fee increase approved, the Residential Parking Permit Districts will maintain an annual deficit of $30,080.00. Currently fees collected do not cover the costs of managing the Residential Parking Permit Districts and future fee increases, or consideration of some other district structure, may be necessary to offset the costs of managing the Residential Parking Permit Districts. In addition to the aforementioned deficit, the Bozeman Parking Commission, and staff, also took into consideration the $96,960.00 in citation revenues collected within the Residential Parking 325 Page 2 of 2 Districts (YTD-FY 19) when determining the proposed $5 increase in Residential Parking Permits. Ideally, the program is funded by permit fees and not citation revenues. Staff and the Parking Commission will continue to make analyze the financial health of the Residential Parking Permit Districts and make recommendations that continue to close the funding gap.
