districts. Two challenging areas identified for analysis: Northeast and Eastside parking <br />districts. Staff will do audit to count available street parking, driveways, and on -street parking. <br />Audit would help to make suggestions to provide added parking such as for parks, that <br />currently have restrictions. Would like to put out RFP for Citywide Parking Management Plan in <br />June 2018. <br />Chair Martinez stated districts can be very restrictive for on -street parking in arterials. Maybe <br />updates can be done to consider allowing parking between 8:OOpm to 6:OOam when traffic is <br />not as heavy. Mr. Galvez mentioned that possibly adjustments to thresholds of 'one -size fits all' <br />policy to help with parking. Committee member Sarmiento asks for creative ideas to help with <br />overcrowding and create spaces. <br />5. Earthquake Preparedness and Seismic Retrofit City Hall (Strategic Plan No. 6, 1a, c and <br />f; and 6m 2a and b) (PWA) <br />City Manager Raul Godinez spoke with former PWA Director when he first learned that City <br />Hall may have some vulnerability. Staff will assess using civil engineer procedures using <br />standard seismic safety protocol for analyzing buildings. Recommending Tier 1 analysis to <br />assess how vulnerable building is, order of magnitude of retrofit, and research FEMA hazard <br />mitigation grants. Also looking into opportunity to create an EOC at City Hall which could open <br />other funding avenues. <br />William Galvez, Acting Executive Director: Presentation provided on Seismic Evaluation and <br />Retrofit of Existing Buildings. American Society of Civic Engineers has a prescribed method for <br />evaluating structures. Will issue Request for Proposals (RFP) to evaluate City Hall and take <br />results to City Council for review and approval. <br />Update on the Water Rate "Pass-through" increase scheduled for July 2018 {Strategic <br />Plan 4,1) (PWA) <br />Nabil Saba, Water Resources Manager, provided presentation with background on water rates. <br />Water rates are supposed to be increased by both regional suppliers, Orange County Water <br />District (OCWD) and Metropolitan Water District (MWD). OCWD is proposing a 6% increase. <br />MWD adopted on our Tier 1, increase of 3.4% of which we use 25% of our supply from MWD. <br />Southern California Edison (SCE) has kept their service rates unchanged. New water rates will <br />be added (pass-through) as adopted in rate study. Typical customer will see 4% increase which <br />amounts to $3.90 per month (based on 15 units of water use). Next step: will provide 30 -day <br />notice per Prop 218 and then implement new rate on July 1, 2018. <br />Committee member Sarmiento commented on OCWD board meeting where letters signed by <br />three member cities (Santa Ana, Fullerton, & Anaheim) are opposing the increase. OCWD on <br />notice and ought to seek other alternatives; maybe revisiting capital improvements. Next <br />OCWD board and public meeting scheduled for April for discussion and vote. <br />ITEMS MOVED TO NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING <br />None <br />March 12, 2018 1 Economic Development, Infrastructure, Budget & Technology Minutes <br />
