Councilmember Lopez rescinded her previous motion and instead recommended <br /> continuing the item to a future meeting date. <br /> Mayor Amezcua expressed concerns regarding issuing parking permits to <br /> residents in the affected area. <br /> City Manager Nunez clarified that the recommendation from staff would be to <br /> remove all meters from in front of residential properties. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Lopez moved to continue Item No. 16 to bring it <br /> back in 30-days with parking meter information only, seconded by Mayor <br /> Amezcua. <br /> MINUTES: Councilmember Phan questioned the separation of parking meter and <br /> parking structure discussions, suggesting they be addressed together. She <br /> advocated for the Council to participate in the decision-making process alongside <br /> the City Manager. She requested amending the current motion to include the <br /> parking structures and requested a more detailed, comprehensive presentation. <br /> Councilmember Lopez expressed opposition to the proposed amendments to the <br /> motion. She stated that parking structures fall within the City Manager's purview <br /> and suggested a staff report for future Council review of parking meter issues only. <br /> Additionally, she requested detailed information on community outreach regarding <br /> the transition to digital meters. <br /> City Attorney Sonia Carvalho clarified that a 2013 resolution authorized the City <br /> Manager to establish and regulate city parking facilities and set rates. She advised <br /> that any new direction should include rescinding or amending this resolution. <br /> Councilmember Phan proposed a sub-motion to direct staff to return with all <br /> requested information, including detailed visuals and a draft resolution. <br /> Councilmember Bacerra seconded the sub-motion with a comment, directing staff <br /> to also prepare a resolution establishing parking rates for city-owned structures and <br /> reaffirming the City Manager's authority to modify rates after the third year. <br /> A discussion ensued regarding the recommendations to staff concerning the <br /> resolution and the City Manager's authority over parking structures. <br /> Councilmember Bacerra explained that the current situation requires Council <br /> involvement due to the inadequacy of existing rates. He supported Councilmember <br /> Phan's motion, agreeing that the discussions should occur concurrently and in <br /> public. <br /> CITY COUNCIL 18 MARCH 18, 2025 <br />
