districts. Two challenging areas identified for analysis: Northeast and Eastside parking districts. Staff will do audit to count available street parking, driveways, and on -street parking. Audit would help to make suggestions to provide added parking such as for parks, that currently have restrictions. Would like to put out RFP for Citywide Parking Management Plan in June 2018. Chair Martinez stated districts can be very restrictive for on -street parking in arterials. Maybe updates can be done to consider allowing parking between 8:OOpm to 6:OOam when traffic is not as heavy. Mr. Galvez mentioned that possibly adjustments to thresholds of `one -size fits all' policy to help with parking. Committee member Sarmiento asks for creative ideas to help with overcrowding and create spaces. 5. Earthquake Preparedness and Seismic Retrofit City Hall (Strategic Plan No. 6, 1a, c and f; and 6m 2a and b) (PWA) City Manager Raul Godinez spoke with former PWA Director when he first learned that City Hall may have some vulnerability. Staff will assess using civil engineer procedures using standard seismic safety protocol for analyzing buildings. Recommending Tier 1 analysis to assess how vulnerable building is, order of magnitude of retrofit, and research FEMA hazard mitigation grants. Also looking into opportunity to create an EOC at City Hall which could open other funding avenues. William Galvez, Acting Executive Director: Presentation provided on Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings. American Society of Civic Engineers has a prescribed method for evaluating structures. Will issue Request for Proposals (RFP) to evaluate City Hall and take results to City Council for review and approval.

OCWD is proposing a 6% increase. MWD adopted on our Tier 1, increase of 3.4% of which we use 25% of our supply from MWD. Southern California Edison (SCE) has kept their service rates unchanged. New water rates will be added (pass-through) as adopted in rate study. Typical customer will see 4% increase which amounts to $3.90 per month (based on 15 units of water use). Next step: will provide 30 -day notice per Prop 218 and then implement new rate on July 1, 2018. Committee member Sarmiento commented on OCWD board meeting where letters signed by three member cities (Santa Ana, Fullerton, & Anaheim) are opposing the increase.
