BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On May 29, 2020, Governor Newsom began modifying the State's stay-at-home order, allowing County's to authorize businesses to re -open, as long as State guidance is followed. The social distancing requirements heavily impact restaurant occupancy. Staff met with downtown merchants to discuss options to increase the viability of operations under the current order, at that time. In an effort to assist local restaurants in the City's downtown area with re -opening, while complying with the State's stay-at-home order, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-123 on June 9, 2020. This resolution approved a temporary downtown public parking stall dining standard plan, encroachment permit, and authorized expenditures relating, in an amount not to exceed $20,000. At the time the resolution was adopted, staff anticipated the parking stall barrier rentals would last through September 30, 2020. The State order allowing outside dining only is still in effect and the City continues to incur costs for the rental of the parking stall barriers. At this time, the total barrier rental costs are $25,840.00, exceeding the initial $20,000 authorization. Additional expenditures, if approved, would increase the authorized amount by $30,000, for a total not -to -exceed amount of $50,000, for parking stall barrier rentals in the downtown area, through at least June 30, 2021. Staff recommends authorizing expenditures for parking stall barrier rental, in an amount not to exceed $30,000. FISCAL IMPACT: Extended seating within the public right-of-way will to increase occupancy for restaurants, increase sales for local businesses, and tax revenue for the City; and assist in economic recovery as the City begins to reopen amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The estimated cost for the rental through June 30, 2021, or the termination of the City's emergency declaration (whichever comes first), is not expected to exceed a total amount of $50,000.
