Van Milligen, City Manager From: Tim Horsfield, Parking Division Manager Subject: Meter District Expansion Introduction Parking Division 830 Bluff Street Dubuque, A 52001 563- 589.4267 www.cityofdubuque.org/parking This memo will provide information relative to the expansion of the Downtown Meter District to include White Street from 5t" Street to 11t" Street on both sides, 8t" Street both sides White Street to Washington, 9t" Street both sides White Street to Elm Street, 10t" Street both sides from White Street to Elm Street, 11t" Street both sides from White Street to Elm Street, Jackson Street both sides from 8t" Street to 11t" Street, and Washington Street both sides from 8t" Street to 11 th Street. Background Through the planning of the Historic Millwork District, ongoing discussions have been had with property owners and developers regarding managing valuable parking space with the installation of parking meters. This of course will create the turn -over that is so critical to retail success in the downtown area. Throughout these discussions, the need for the meter district expansion has been well received and for the most part, requested as a way to manage the parking spaces. Discussion Now that we are nearing the opening of many of the residential units and the opening of some retails areas, the time has come to expand the meter district into this area and begin the installation of the meters. We are still evaluating the particular type of meter to be placed in this area as there are three options available at this time that we are evaluating and will bring a recommendation to you in the very near future. One of the options, which is the pay and display or pay by space has become cost prohibitive not only from an initial purchase cost, but ongoing annual and monthly fees were prohibitive. Approving the ordinance at this time, allows us to begin the purchase of pieces of equipment that will accommodate either of the remaining options we are considering. Each will require the housings for the meters, meter poles and the decorative sleeves and bases that we have made standard on the installs. We are at this time estimating an addition of 231 meters in the described area. Throughout the proposed area, there will be exceptions in which parking will be prohibited totally or for a period of time for a number of reasons, safety and loading /unloading for retail would be examples of these exceptions. 1 Budget Impact Until the decision is made regarding the type of meter to be installed, the exact cost associated is hard to determine. We have sufficient bond proceeds allocated to this project to cover the cost of either option. The initial cost associated with pole placement is approximately $20,000.00. Recommendation I have attached the ordinance amendment for your consideration. I am requesting your approval and subsequent recommendation to the City Council for their consideration and approval. cc: Jenny Larson, Budget Director Dave Heiar, Economic Development Director 2 OFFICIAL PUBLICATION ORDINANCE NO. 49-12 AMENDING CITY OF DUBUQUE CODE OF ORDINANCES TITLE 9 MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC, CHAP - TER 14 PARKING, SECTION 9-14- 321.666 MUNICIPAL PARKING METER DISTRICT ESTABLISHED BY EXPANDING THE DOWNTOWN METER DISTRICT.

Final approval of this ordinance change would have a direct impact on members of our association; as well as many Dubuque firefighters. Of particular issue with the proposed change is the inclusion of White Street from 5a' to l la' and 8a' Street from White to Washington. In a memorandum to the council from City Manager Michael Van Milligen, he cited one reason for the change is to "create the turn -over that is so critical to retail success in the downtown area ". We would contend that including the above mentioned areas has no direct link to retail success as there is limited availability for retail stores to exist. This is further pointed out as follows: 600 Block of White Street —There are minimal retail establishments on the west side of the street. The east side of the street is a large parking lot owned by Fischer Companies. 700 Block of White Street —There is a large parking lot on the west side of the street owned by Dubuque County. On the east side of the street sits a large building occupied in part by the United States Postal Service. In addition to having no public access off White Street, this building has a large parking lot for use on the east side. 800 block of White Street — There is a parking lot owned by Dubuque County and the backside of Hendrick's Feed (with no public access points) on the west side. On the east side is a parking lot for private businesses. Additionally the only retail in this block is Jan's Sewtique. Presently there is a two hour parking restriction directly in front of the business to allow for a flow of customer parking. e Street from White to Jackson — There is a parking lot for private businesses on the north side of the street. On the south side there is the Post Office building and parking lot. As stated earlier the proposed changes will have a direct impact on the members of our association. The installation of meters, many of which are presumed to be two hours or less, creates many problems. Officers are often assigned to territories around the city which would prohibit them from returning to their vehicles to pay for additional time on the meter. It must also be taken into account that officers are routinely handling a number of calls for service and cannot be expected to leave a call in order to add time to the meter. This would also apply to employees of the Fire Department under similar circumstances. We respectfully ask that you consider the information provided to you and vote against the changes as they are currently proposed. Respectfully Submitted, Board of Directors for the Dubuque Police Protective Association Travis Kramer, President • Chris Gorrell, Vice President Becky Stieber, Treasurer • Kurt Rosenthal, Secretary • Tom Pregler, Welfare Chair I move to receive and file the communications and further move that the requirement that a proposed Ordinance be considered and voted on for passage at two Council meetings prior to the meeting at which is to be finally passed be suspended. (Motion B) LYGIV=IIT i1 I move final consideration and passage of the Ordinance. (Motion A) If Motion B does not pass: I move to receive and file the communications and I move first (second or third) consideration of the Ordinance. (Motion A)
