Parking Meter Revenue Fund L� ' CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Va" INTER -DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION HUNTINGTON BEACH V To Mayor and City Council From Jim B. Engle Acting Direc r Community Services Subject Warner/Percy Launch Ramp Date April 10, 1990 Parking Meters At the April 2 council meeting, Councilman Bannister raised the issue of the maximum parking time allowed by the meters at the two launch ramp parking lots. I indicated at that time that the meters were day use, but that I didn't know if they were eight or twelve hour maximum. The meters had a maximum parking time of twelve hours prior to the fee being increased to 750 in July, 1989. Currently, the parking meters allow for six hours maximum parking time without insertion of additional coins due to mechanical limitations of the meters. We have received no public complaints relating to the six hour maximum. This may be because people wishing to stay at sea longer have the option of using Sunset Aquatic Park. We shall continue to evaluate the situation through the spring and summer. If public opinion indicates that a longer duration is needed, we will recommend to Council that the hourly rate be reduced from 750 to 50G. This will enable us to make the necessary adjustments in the meters to revert to the twelve hour maximum. Should Council decide to make this change, it can be accomplished at no extra cost because the original parts were retained when the meters were modified for the fee increase. JBE:cs cc: Michael T.
