Hello,
I am writing on behalf of the AOII sorority chapter house located at 1119 S 5th Ave. We pay
$30/student for our parking permits= ~$1,140 for 38 women. We are writing to the City Commission
NOT increase the Parking Permit Fee to $35, but instead use surplus to decrease fees to $20 or $25.
We also ask that Parking Services follow the RPPD Ordinance and its intent AND use both parking
permits and FINES from MSU/BHS RPPDs as revenue to balance the cost of operating these
RPPDs. These fines are intended to help finance the RPPDs and not be a “Cash Cow” for Parking
Services.
Below is our understanding:
Using permit fees and fines as intended actually creates a surplus at the current $30/permit fee.
The MSU/BHS RPPDs ARE sustainable - Right Now!
At Parking Commission meetings 7 /9/2020 and in minutes from 6/13/19, Parking Program Manager
Ed Meece stated that:
FY 2020 & expected 2021 2,082 permits sold = $ 61,093 (at $30/permit)
FY 2019 issued citations approx. = $100,000 *________________
Est revenue using fees and fines $161,093
FY2021 Budget Expenses MSU/BHS RPPDs ($115,471)
Net Surplus approx. $ 45,000
*FY2020 Parking fines may be less due to COVID-19 shutdown in spring, but a decrease of $45,000 is most unlikely.
Thank you,
Gianna
