Title

Resolution to Amend the Burns Park Residential Parking District - Woodlawn Avenue and Appropriate General Fund Unobligated Fund Balance ($2,000.00) (8 Votes Required)

Memorandum

Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to amend the Burns Park Residential Parking Permit (RPP) District to include parcels on Woodlawn Avenue; from 1109 Woodlawn Avenue through 1230 Woodlawn Avenue.

 

Streets or sections of street currently signed for “no parking” or other restrictions will remain the same.  The inclusion of a street signed for “no parking” in the District allows residents fronting that street to be eligible to participate, obtain a permit and park on another RPP Designated street within the Burns Park RPP District.

 

The following properties on this block have signed the petition: 1109, 1111, 1114, 1115, 1116, 1222, and 1230 Woodlawn Ave.  Staff has verified that over 60% (7/8 addresses = 88%) approve of this amendment.

 

Funding for the required signage installation was not included in the 2020 General Fund Operations and Maintenance Budget; therefore, it is necessary to appropriate the funding for the work.  The estimate for the cost of signage installation is $2,000.00.  An annual increase in residential parking permit revenue is estimated to be $800.000.
