Resolution Authorizing Staff to Revise Parking Restrictions to Increase the Supply of Parking in the Estudillo Parking Garage. The City Clerk noted the title of this Resolution, as shown on the Agenda, should be changed to read: Resolution Amending Title 6, Chapter 4 of the San Leandro Administrative Code Relating to Fees and Charges for Services Provided by City Departments (Parking Fee for Estudillo Garage) . Norm Weisbrod, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. He explained that TriNet Employer Group Inc. , wishes to expand its business and would like to relocate in the Security Pacific Bank Building but needs to provide adequate parking for its future employees. He said the City is trying to make office space in the downtown area more attractive by reducing the cost of leasing parking spaces in the downtown parking garage and recommended that staff be authorized to implement a permit basis, which he explained, for parking in the garage. He described additional spaces which have been provided in the garage through restriping. He described the proposed decrease in fees and the costs and benefits to the community. He described the capital improvements TriNet would make to provide security for their employees, which would be offset by the lower rates. The City Council asked questions about the current number of unused spaces and how existing parking would be affected by the proposal . Mr. Weisbrod said assigned spaces could still be provided at $45/month until needed by TriNet. John Jermanis, Finance Director, explained how the financing would operate and said interest payments on the garage bonds and maintenance costs would still be covered by the permit fees. He noted that a survey had produced a mixed response. In response to City Council questions, Steve Emslie, Planning Manager, said TriNet would be expanding over a five-year period, so he felt requests for assigned spaces could be accommodated.
