Background and Analysis:
The Parking Strategy Open House was meant as a final outreach push to stakeholders and customers prior to council’s adoption of the draft strategy as well as parking meter and permit fee increases in 2019 (see attached table). Staff presented fee increases to the Finance Committee October 17th. All parking fees may be updated by the City Manager except the residential parking permits encoded in OMC, which require City Council’s approval. Council is expected to vote on the residential parking code amendments late November or early December. Once approved, pricing changes will go into effect January 1st.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
As part of the public outreach, staff presented an overview of the strategy to Department of Enterprise Services, Downtown Neighborhood Association, Theater Managers, Olympia Downtown Alliance, as well as the Parking & Business Improvement Area Advisory Board.
