14.1  
REPORT - PARKING FEE SCHEDULE REVISIONS  
BACKGROUND: The Parking District currently offers free first hour  
parking in Garage 1 (7th St.) and Garage 12 (1st St.) and has done so  
since 2017 to encourage more vehicles to use our underutilized  
garages. In conversations with the Executive Director of the Downtown  
Action Organization (DAO), it was suggested that the District consider  
establishing a more consistent parking fee schedule to make it easier  
for businesses and the DAO to promote parking in the downtown  
garages. This includes offering the first hour free in all five parking  
garages.  
The Parking District has offered free weekend parking in the garages  
during the holidays beginning in 2017. This program has been  
successful in providing support to downtown merchants during the  
holiday season by offering ample free parking in the downtown and  
allowing for continuous of street parking.  
Staff plans to work with the DAO on marketing materials to promote  
these new garage fees and encourage the convenience of garage  
parking.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance Department  
that the Council, by resolution, approve changes to the Parking fee  
Schedule to provide in the five public parking garages effective July 1,  
2022: 1) first hour free parking ; and 2) free weekend parking Saturdays  
and Sundays from the first Saturday after Thanksgiving through New  
Year’s Day annually.

REPORT - PROPOSED CITY CHARTER AMENDMENTS  
BACKGROUND: Section 12 of the City Charter requires a review of the  
Charter not less than every ten years, with the review to be conducted  
by a committee to be appointed by the City Council. The last Charter  
review began in 2011 and resulted in proposed revisions placed on the  
November 2012 ballot. Ten years have now passed and, last August,  
2021, the Council directed the establishment of a new Charter Review  
Committee and the initiation of a new review.  
The Charter Review Committee met every other week for more than six  
months (with adjustments for holidays) and issued its final report on  
May 24, 2022. The Committee recommended that three ballot  
measures be placed on the ballot for the voters’ consideration in  
November 2022: (1) a ballot measure to amend Charter Section 4 to  
increase Council compensation; (2) a ballot measure to amend Charter  
Section 4 to reflect the City’s district-based election of Council  
members; and (3) a ballot measure to update and modernize the  
language of the Charter.  
The Committee also recommended that at least one additional  
measure, to expand voting rights in local elections to noncitizens, be  
further evaluated and researched for possible action in the future.  
Proposals for action on that recommendation will be brought to the  
Council at a later date.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Charter Review  
Committee that the Council, by motion, introduce three measures to be  
placed on the November 2022 ballot for the voter’s consideration: (1) a  
ballot measure to amend Charter Section 4 to increase Council  
compensation, by tying Mayor and Council compensation to a  
percentage of the City’s Area Median Income; (2) a ballot measure to  
amend Charter Section 4 to align with the City’s district-based election  
of Council members; and (3) a ballot measure to update and modernize  
the language of the Charter, including provisions to remove ambiguities,  
to provide additional flexibility in City operations, and to ensure gender  
and citizenship neutrality.
