development strategies, including downtown and campus development, business recruitment, and enhancing current businesses. (b) The demand for public parking. Over the last two years, the demand for public parking has increased. The City of Eugene downtown parking structures are at max capacity and most locations were frozen to new permit issuance in December, 2017. The City provides a total of 2,600 parking spaces in its six parking garages and on the City Hall surface lot. Approximately 350 people who have requested parking spaces at those facilities have been put on a waitlist due to the shortage of available spaces. Further, the demand for daily and hourly parking has also increased. The Overpark and Parcade garages, which represent close to 1,000 parking stalls, are at 90% occupancy on a daily basis. (c) The ability of the city to meet the financial obligations of existing or proposed parking facilities. The proposed fee amendment will provide resources to continue to address the $10 million backlog of parking structure maintenance (2016 Kimley-Horn). The Parking Services program has started addressing items in the deferred maintenance report, such as replacing both stairs in the Pearl Street garage, deep cleaning over 880,000 s.f. of parking deck surface in all the parking structures, and retrofitting lighting system to a modern LED system. The current budget will modernize five of the ten elevators in the Hult Center, Parcade, and Pearl Street Garages. The remaining elevators in the Overpark, Broadway North, and Broadway South garages are scheduled for modernization in fiscal year 2020 budget with the approval of the rate increases. The program is also expanding its parking structure security camera system in the Overpark and Parcade Garages this fiscal year. Addi t ional resources will allow the security camera system to expand to the other parking garages in fiscal year 2020. (d) When considering the charges for facilities in proximity to the Hult Center, the level of tax support the city provides to that center. The parking fee increases for the Hult Center and Parcade garages will not impact the level of tax support the City provides the Hult Center. Hult Center operations are funded with transient room tax revenue (40%), user fees (560/0), and miscellaneous revenue (4%). The fee increase is for parking during daytime work week hours to manage commuter and visitor parking demand. Hult Center performances typically occur in the evenings or on weekends, so the fee increase should have little or no impact on event parking. Event parking fees are collected for Hult Center events at the Hult Center and Parcade Garages and remain unchanged in this administrative order. The remaining City garages typically offer free parking in the evenings and weekends, as well as on-street meters after 6:00 PM.
