DISCUSSION The parking meter district was established to ensure that a proper level of vehicular turnover would occur in the most congested areas of the city, particularly the Downtown. Parking meters, in general, are located, targeted and priced for short-term occupancy, usually under a one-hour period. As part of a comprehensive parking program, a dedicated level of parking enforcement is required in order to encourage proper meter usage by patrons. Currently, Section 1-18.4 of the Santa Aha Municipal Code authorizes the downtown development manager to issue citations. The proposed amendment to the ordinance will give the Executive Director of the Community Development Agency or his/her designee the authority to issue parking citations. This amendment is being made primarily to allow the Parking ~eter Technicians to issue parking citations. To enhance the parking meter program, two Parking Meter Technicians have been added to the Community Development Agency and will be directed primarily towards the enforcement component.

Parking enforcement vehicles need to be small enough to be maneuverable in the crowded Downtown area, yet highly visible and enclosed for safety of the driver.

With the new personnel resources and vehicles, there will be an estimated revenue increase of $250,000 annually.
