DISCUSSION The Community Redevelopment Agency (Agency) owns the public metered surface parking lot located at the northeast corner of 3rd and Bush Streets. The parking lot holds a total of 63 parking spaces and services the general downtown area and the Artist Lofts. With years of continuous use, the parking lot is in need of capital repairs that include resurfacing, new landscaping, upgrading the irrigation system, enhancing the operational equipment and upgrading the lighting. The Agency is proposing improvements to the parking lot in efforts to make the parking lot more inviting and to provide a safer environment by upgrading the existing lighting to comply with current codes. Once completed, these improvements will enhance the surface quality and visual appearance of the parking lot. At the same time the improvements are done at the 3rd and Bush Streets parking lot, the Agency is seeking to upgrade the equipment by removing the individual parking meters and installing a single pay station that will service the entire parking lot. The pay station will allow patrons the capability of paying the parking meter fees via coin or credit card. Neither the new equipment nor landscape and irrigation upgrades are included as part of the City's Parking Lot and Parks Improvement Project. Therefore, the landscape and irrigation upgrades will be contracted for separately. The upgraded equipment will be purchased and maintained by Parking Concepts Inc., the current contract administrator for the City's parking structures in the Downtown. 5-1 Cooperative Agreement - Parking Lot Improvements May 16, 2011 Page 2 The City is in the process of renovating several parking lots at various park site locations.
