Downtown Parking Management Plan <br />26 <br /> <br />about parking facility rates and regulations at the user’s request. More information about a particular <br />facility—such as the address, size, hours of operation, and rates—is available at the click on the blue <br />pin of interest. San Leandro could similarly implement a map of their available public parking facilities <br />and location/payment/directional information on the City website. <br />Implementation Guidance <br />Immediate: Conditions exist to move forward immediately to upgrade payment technology in the Estudillo <br />Garage, and reinstate the LPR enforcement process. <br /> Garage Equipment Upgrade: <br />o Identify City Department/Staff responsible for developing equipment RFQ/RFP for garage <br />equipment replacement <br />o Develop an RFQ/RFP for payment systems vendors. <br />o Interview/Select vendor <br /> Enforcement Equipment/Software: <br />o The Current mLPR requires back-office system software to support directed enforcement <br />including a re-parking enforcement module. <br />o Enforcement personnel will need an updated citation system compatible with handhelds as <br />manual ticketing will not be sufficient for enforcing re-parking. <br /> Long-Term: Until the conditions for on-street pricing are met (85% occupancy), new payment <br />technology will not be considered. <br /> <br />I. Manage Parking Fund to Solvency <br />It is challenging to accurately track all budget elements (revenues and costs) that feed into a parking system. <br />However, to make informed short- and long-term operational and capital investment decisions, the City <br />should be able to evaluate overall system performance, costs by facility and on street vs. off-street costs. In <br />the long-term, San Leandro could be aided in this by a wireless individual pay station or smart meter <br />technology meter system which, if installed, can “self-report” revenue collection by unit, space, facility, block <br />or space. This reporting detail will help the City observe and understand trends and make timely <br />programmatic/investment decisions. <br />The current financial reporting system does consider the true effective labor cost to manage/operate the <br />City’s parking program nor does it include enforcement revenues, which currently go directly to the general <br />fund. Understanding the true costs and revenues attributable to all parking operations and management will <br />help the City may make more financially sustainable decisions with regard to capital investment, operations <br />and management. <br />Additionally, management approaches alone that are acceptable both to the City and the general public are <br />unlikely to generate revenues in the amount to bring the program into net positive revenue in the near term, <br />so the short-term goal should be focused on narrowing the growing observed revenue gap. <br />In the long-term, the City will need to be cautious when implementing demand management (pricing) since <br />demand is expected to be highly elastic and will impact anticipated revenues. A sustainable approach will be <br />conservative including a range of fees for all users and locations including on and off-street, day use permits <br />624
