File Number: 22-397 for housing (particularly affordable housing). As a result, the potential loss of on-street parking due to growth is expected to be an issue of ongoing public concern. During the course of the implementation and ongoing maintenance of the DPMP, the expertise and experience of Dixon Resources Unlimited has proven crucial to the ongoing success of the program, and Dixon has gained a thorough understanding of San Leandro’s parking needs. Furthermore, Dixon possesses the knowledge and skill to comprehensively and effectively advise the City on the level to which a proposed development will affect nearby neighborhood parking, which can provide valuable insights for all project stakeholders. In April 2022, the City released a Request for Proposals for Parking Enforcement Services because its current contract with SP Plus expires on June 30, 2022. Staff anticipates bringing that contract before City Council for approval. Dixon Resources assisted staff with the development and evaluation of the RFP, lending its expertise in managing a fully cost-recoverable parking program. Staff determined the current parking program was vital to downtown San Leandro economic vitality, but also required highly specialized knowledge and active management that current staff could not provide. Dixon Resources Unlimited will manage the City’s third-party parking enforcement staff to enforce parking violations as governed by the municipal and vehicle codes. Dixon will monitor and report back monthly all current revenues the program generates. Dixon will also provide a financial forecast of expenditures and revenues to bring the fund from its current negative balance into positive fund balance territory, thus relieving the support the Parking Fund currently receives from the General Fund. Lastly, Dixon will begin updating the 2017 DPMP to ensure the City maximizes its current parking space inventory. Additionally, Dixon will be charged with better utilizing the Downtown parking garage-a critical resource for the scarcity of parking as more development occurs. As needed, Dixon may also conduct multi-day and multi-week on-street parking area inventory and usage analysis using License Plate Reader (LPR) technology. The use of LPR technology will streamline the data gathering process and make it more cost-effective. Dixon will ensure data privacy and safety by implementing a tokenization process. Once license plate data is recorded via LPR, the data is transferred to a Genetec Server, which in turn transfers the data to a Dixon server. Here, the data is cleaned, transformed, tokenized, and the original data is deleted. This new data is then transferred to a Dixon Azure Server where the data is queried in a dashboard for analysis. This data can also be deleted almost instantaneously if necessary to ensure privacy. The engagement of Dixon will not only help to streamline the entitlement processes of new developments in the coming year(s), but also ensure that existing parking requirements are addressed more pro-actively and with mitigated or minimal impact on project cost, neighborhood infractions or encroachments, and existing or proposed traffic and parking patterns. Based upon these examples of consistently responsive and high quality service, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a consulting services agreement with Dixon Resources Unlimited, at the rate of $8,450 per month ($101,400 annually) for parking program management services. In January 2023, Dixon will begin work updating the Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/15/2022
