BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff received a request to modify the time period of the residential parking restrictions in the vicinity of PCP. In 1985, City Council approved the residential parking restrictions, after hearing concerns from the residents about parking problems. After reviewing several solutions, City Council approved a no -parking restriction during the following times: 8:00 to 9:00 AM 3:00 to 4:00 PM 3:00 to 4:00 AM Every day, from June 1 through March 31. Simultaneously, Council approved a residential parking permit program which allowed residents to park on street during these times. The intent of the parking restriction was to reflect the peak cannery season. However, at the time of approval, City Council arbitrarily established the parking duration from June 1 through March 31. Staff recently contacted PCP and they indicated the peak cannery season includes June, July, August, September, and the first week of October. Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to modify the parking restriction duration as needed. This will allow staff to modify the duration administratively if the peak season changes in the future. At this time, staff intends to modify the restriction duration to June 1 through October 15. A shorter time period will be less restrictive and reflects the intent of the restriction. If City Council approves this modification, staff will modify the signs. There will be no other changes to the restrictions. Residents will still be able to purchase residential permits for $5.50 for a 3 -calendar -year period allowing them to park their vehicles at all times in the restricted area. The permit cost is minimal and assists in funding the permit stickers, signs, and administration costs. FUNDING: Funding from Street Maintenance Account for sign modifications will cost approximately $200. Funding Available: Vicky MCAth' ina c I ector Richard C.

We would like to express our dissention to your propose,: amendmenLof Traffic Resolution 97-148, Section 3 We do not feel that is a good idea. What is happening now with the ordinance, is that people buy the City Permits, move their cars ar;,und between 8:00 to 9:00 A.M, and 3:00 to 4:OOP.M, and the rest of the time these cars are parked on the street for months at a time. And of course they are nev:_r parked in front of the individuals house, because they always like their porti,n cleaned by City Street Sweeper, so they park them in front of a neighbors house. If you shorten the length of time the Ordinance is in affect, it will just mean their cars will be parked for a longer period of Lime, without being moved, on all streets in this parking ordinance sL-reet.,area. Then in Lime, this portion of the Eastside will become a used junked car haven, and we'll go right back into the blighted area it used to be. We have lived in the same house since October 1953, and have witnessed many, many changes in this area, but we feel that this Ordina:;ce, just as it is, has by far benefitted this area the most. Thank You, for letting us voice our opinion, and trust ,ou will reconsider this amendment. Sincerely: eL� Arthur E. and Florence M.
