7. NEW BUSINESS
a. Update on Parking app – Keselburg
Updated signage has/will be installed in parking areas. A reminder that a PIN is
required to access the features of the app. A credit card is only required to pay
from the app.
b. Grant Street changed to diagonal parking
Parking Staff & RP3 coordinator worked with Streets to determine space gain.
After red curbs put in applicable areas at/around driveways, parking space gain
would be minimal if changed to diagonal. Occupancy for this area, even less
along Olive, was only 22%, with a max of 38%. RP3 standards is to be 70%
occupied. At this time, it is not beneficial to change to diagonal spaces.
8. WHAT ARE OUR PRIMARY GOALS?
a. Turnover and parking availability in all areas
b. Know where to go and what to do
c. Ability to park for varying lengths of time
d. Updates
CCPS Speed bump project
As of Friday, May 10th
, permit holders were notified of installation,
although slightly delayed. To be installed week of 05/13/2019.
City worked with Martin/Martin Engineering to determine proper/best
placement of shortened bolt sleeves to secure humps to garage floor.
This was due to tension cables that run the length of each floor at
CCPS.
Weather delay- the colder temperatures and moisture did not allow for
the epoxy used to ‘glue’ them in place.
• Off-hour Enforcement – Results from citation counts at each
garage for failure to initiate their sessions

e. License Plate Recognition (LPR) Fixed System
Parking staff planning site visit with Arvada to review their RTD Parking
Structure which currently utilizes fixed LPR system.
City structure LPR requirements would total; OTPS 4, FAPS 2, CCPS 6
f. FC Parking App
Parking staff have done spot checks and have found similar discrepancies.
Currently working with the vendor to verify accuracy of spots showing and
actual available. The agreement with the vendor, Civic Smart, is 95%
accuracy. In early February the vendor identified what they believed to be
the problem at that time - the need to recalibrate for the weather, replace
107 sensors, and repair/ reinstall a total of 9 gateways; all of which
occurred end of March/early-April. Once completed, validation occurred by
the vendor and the information was available mid- April. Parking staff have
since been reviewing reporting data and have performed periodic field
studies and found both block and space accuracy to be inaccurate.
Vendor contractor is currently in town, 05/13/2019 - he and Parking staff did
a field visit to a few blocks. The blocks were within the 95% accuracy level;
however, the actual space locations are inaccurate.
g. House Bill 19-1298 EV
Parking Services is currently working with the CAO to draft matching
language to traffic code. Details of HB19-298:
The bill authorizes the owner of a plug-in electric motor vehicle (EV)
charging station to install a sign that identifies the station. If the sign
is installed, a person is prohibited from:
• Parking in the space if the vehicle is not an electric vehicle;
and
• Using the dedicated charging station for parking if the electric
vehicle is not charging.
05/13/2018 – MINUTES Page 4
An electric vehicle is rebuttably presumed to not be charging if the
electric vehicle is parked in a charging station and is not electrically
connected to the charger for longer than 30 minutes. A person may
park an electric vehicle at a charging station after the electric vehicle
is fully charged in a parking lot:
• That serves a lodging business if the person is a client of the
lodging business and has parked the electric vehicle in the lot
to charge overnight;
• That serves an airport if the person is a client of the airport
and has parked the electric vehicle in the lot to charge when
traveling; or between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
h. City of Greeley parking update
Pay to Stay
• To stay longer than two hours, visitors can use Passport to
pay for additional time.
• Each hour after the first two hours is $2 with a maximum of
$10 per day.
Parking Services planning site visit with Greeley
CivicSmart- CFC system for on-street sensors
Passport- CFC app
i. Where to park
Parking Services is working with Operations Services to inventory City
owned/managed structures & surface lots
j. How can we implement change?
Ideas
• Pay to stay
• Cheaper garage parking than street parking – Hill asked why
are we waiting for data? Keselburg replied that it could be
done now, but it’s better to do it later when we have more
data.
• After we compile the data, we will begin to have pilot
programs around the City.
05/13/2018 – MINUTES Page 5
• Paid parking pilot – how do we choose where to pilot?
• Identify and communicate long-term (all day and/or all night)
parking
• Using app to easily find on-street parking without cc or pin -
