4.1 Public Hearing PJ Dhoot gave a Power Point presentation on the 9920-9936 Broadmoor Drive Permit Parking extension.

The following are options for the TAC to consider:
The committee discussed the parking situation at Cal High on weekends and observed that the Cal High parking lot was underutilized. There was discussion that the extension of Broadmoor parking hours will push parking onto other streets so staff may have to look into permit parking extension on other streets. Lisa Bobadilla said that City Council considers parking extension on a case by case basis. She also stated that staff will review the Cal High parking situation after the completion of construction at Cal High. Lisa Bobadilla also stated that staff could offer other Broadmoor residents the extension of permit parking hours at the December meeting but will be handled separately from the current request. Additionally, any request for parking extension would have to go through the process of Public Hearing.

Mr. Koenig indicated that the parking lot at Cal High is closed when there are no scheduled events on weekends. He staff to verify the school policy. Mr. Koenig stated that people not utilizing the Cal High parking lot has nothing to do with the Cal High construction. Mr. Koenig stressed the importance of an aggressive police enforcement especially on weekends. He added that if people know that they will get a parking ticket, the word will get around and it will have an impact.
