An administrative ordinance relating
to parking� facilities, establishing a City
Farking Commission.
. , w. . �
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. �Pu�rp�ose. In order to provide an effective
supply of public an vate parking facili.�ies serving Saint
Paul commercial axeas while retaining primary reliance on
private suppliers, the City Council finds it appropriate and
timely to centralize the public parking responsibilities within
city government and to provide a vehicle for input from private
parking providers and generators.
� , �
It is the intent of the Mayor and` City Council to encon.rage
the private construction and management of parking facilities
whenever possible and to cause the public construction and e�on-
omical management of needed parking when such cannot be� provided
by private enterprise; and to �nsure that all constrta.ction and
maintenance be in accordance with the Downtown Traffic Control
Plan and consistent with principles of energy conservation,
planning for ma.ss transit, and considerations of traffic and
safety.
It is the further intent of the Mayor and City Council to
establish a Parking Commission, composed primarily of persons
knowledgeable of private policies and management practices, to
participate in municipal decisions regarding the provision and
management of public parking. It is the expectation of the City
Council that said Commission will assist the City in developing
economically sound public parking programs which will be comple-
mentary to the private sector and beneficial to the entire city.

1. PUBLIC PARKII�TG IN ST. PAUL
The Czty of St. Paul ha� a long history of being con-
cer�:�d about the �upply of parking, both in the downtown and
outlying area�.
Prior to the late 1960� �, mo�t of the parking �tudie�
and re�ultin� recommendations dealt with the identification
of parking need� and recommended method� by which the private
�ector could meet tho�e need�. A� an as�iQt to the private
�ector, tax reduction� were propo�ed and �ecured, land wa�
a�sembled and cleared through the urban renewal program, and
various public program� deaigned t�o encourage private con-
struction were undertaken.
During the latter part of the 196ots and early 1�70' �,
it became apparent that �kyrocketing conQtruction co�t�,
high intere�t rate�, and the lo�� of favorable tax legi�latior,
created a �ituation which m�,de it uneconomical for the private
�ector to continue to provide the city '� nece��ary wupply
of parking.
Every parking study and analysis completed since 1970
has reco;r.mended that the city a��ume the role and obligation
of providing public parking to serve the need of the city ' �
commercial area4.
Two ma�or piecew of special State Legi�lation were
passed in 1973. One, provided the city with the authority
to can�truct parking lot� or ramp� and to a��e�� all or a
part of the con�truction and operating coQt to the benefited
property owner�.
_ 2 _
�.
��������
The �econd allowed the city to create Development
Di�trict� and u�e tax increment� to carry out variou�
pro�ram� of public improvement�. Thi� act �pecifically
ailow� for the development of parking facilitiew and e�tab-
li�hed pro�edure� whereby General Obligation Bond� can be i,-
�ued for the con�truction of tax free publicly owned park-
ing facilitie�. Thi, Development Di�trict Act contain� more
local authority than i� normally be�towed upon Public Park-
ing Authorities in other �tate�.
In addition to thi� special St. Paul legi�lation,
a number of statewide bi11� have been pa�.ed which confer
�ub�tantial legislative authority on the City to carry out
a meaningful parkino program.
To date thi� authority has only been u�ed to �timulate
�elected development propowal� in the downtown area, rather
than being u�ed a� a re�ource for the development of a
planned program of public parking.
Under the DeveZopment Di�trict act the city, in 197�,
�pproved a �500,000 bond program, tietting up a �izable fund
for the �tudy and de�ign of new parking facilitieti in the
Downtown Development District. To date li�tle of thi� fund
has been u�ed for its original intended purpo�e.
The Development Diwtrict act wa� utilized a second time
in 1976 to is�ue the nece�sary bond� for the con�truction of
a parking ramp in block 7A. (imr,iediately we�t of the Art�
and Science Building) � Additional u�e of thi� act i� con-
templated to finance the cor�struction of the proposed ramp
associated with the Radl�on Hotel on the block east of Dayton�.
_ � _
� ` ' � ���� ��
Unfortuna�ely, �he boundarie� of the Downtown Development
Di�trict are �uch that this i� not a viable method for
f inancing fringe area and other parking which w:ill be nec-
e��ary to insure the continued health of the Downtown area.
During the last three year�, the City Council al�o
app�inted two commi.ttees, one from the Highland Park Area,
and one fram the Payne Avenue Bu�ines� Community, to review
the parking needs of the�e area� and to make recommendation�
back to the City Council.
The�e committee�, while working diligently over this
time Upan, have had diff'icultie� in achieving their prime
goal of expand3.ng their parking ��applie�. To a large part
the�e diff iculties �eem to stem from the fact that there is
no a��igned staff that iw parking orientated and directly
re�pon�ible for a.si�ting the�e committee� and developing an
ongoing parking programo
2. CUR.RENT RESPONSIBILITY
Today the re�pon�ibilitie� for the provision of public
parking is grea�ly confu�ed and uncoordinated.
The City of St. Pau1 maintain� the public �treet meter�
an� isolated parking facilitiew at the City Market and at
the Midway Stadium, The Housing and Redevelopment Authority
through it� program provide� lots for temporary park�ng through-
out the downtown area. The Civic Center Authority operate�
and maintains a sizable ramp in con�unction with that facilit��.
Other facilitie� �uch a� Navy I.land seem to exi�t in an un-
coordinated relationship with all of the other facilitie�.
_ L� _
Q �
Thi� fragmentation has 1ed �o �everal studie� by �rie
City Planning De�artment, Barton-Aschman A�::ocia�e�, Inc, and
the Hou�ing and Redevelopmer.t Authority over the pa�t five
S�ear�, tiaith more �tudies_ planned by tr�e City Planning
Department during the nex� year. Tc date, none �i tne;,E
�tudie� have re�ul.ted in reccmmendation� to the City Council
which would allow for the total development or management o�`'
city parking. Some of the�e report.� tend to indicate th�
deQirability of developing an overall dot��ntown development
strategy prior to developing a parking expan�ion and marac�e-
ment program. Should this cour�e of �ctian be followed, it
could take year� before a actual parking prcagram could k;e
devel.oped and implemented.
Currently, propo�al� are being made to develop a p�cp��
mover �y�tem that would have, as a ba�ic ingredient, a �ub-
��antial �upply of fringe parking. Yet the re�pon�ibility
for financing and developing this fringe area parking ha�
not been a��igned to anyone in city government or it� relat��
a�;enc ies.
A great deal of the inertia and lack of defini�e direc-
tion �tems from the fact that no City depar�mer.t or agency
ha� be�n clearly asQigned re�pon�ibility for the develop-
ment and operation of a parking program.
Al�o, all of the currently completed �tudie� deal onls�
�vith parking in the central bu�ine�� district and tend to
ignore other parking need� scattered throughout the City of
St. Paul, i.e. Highland, Payne Avenue and Rice Street, etc.
The�e areas also need attention from a public parkirg �tar,d-
- 5 -
o ��'`�����
point but have been slow in receiving con�ideration beca���e
of fragmer.tation or lack of a��igne� respon.ibility.
A� further documen�ation of thia confusion, indiviaual
merchant: have been able to advance a11 kind� of parking
recommendation� directly to City �ouncil, but without cle�:-r
re,pon�i�ility in city government,Council ha� not been able
to receive competent profe��ional advice. Again it appear:
that the problem �tems from �he fact that the City ha� no�
reco�nized overall parking re�pon,�ibility througn �he a�:i�;n-
ment of the funetion to a �pecific City De�artm�nL ar t��_;e;;c;� ,
3. PUBLIC PARKTNG IS BIG BUSINE�S
Tize City of St. Paul i� cur.rently in the parking butii.r:��:�c
in a big way. Projected receipts �rom ��reet meters have
been as follow� :
1973 �355,000
197� 333,000
1975 3�-0,o00
1976 �00,o00
1977 350,000
The 1977 projection includes anticipated receipt� fro�
a larger number of parking meter� recently in�talled �.n the
downtawn area. Di�counting thiw fact, it i� intere�t:.n� f;o
note that thi� �ub�tantial sum of money i� yhowing a ,yearl�7
decrea�e at a time when inflation is increa�ing at rncord
level�.
Al�o, the City ' � patit b�adget indicates projected p�r.�.-
ing income from the City Market of $59,000 with expen^�s ot'
�5�,000. It i� obviou� that a sub�tantial part of thi�
income i� being u�ed to �ubtiidize the City MarkeU operatic:�,
- 6 -
.�.
The City ' � third public parking income i� from. Midway
Stadium trrhere the 1976 pro�ected income i� $10,000 and
admini�trative expensep of �2,350.
The above parking facilities generate revenue� oi
approximately $316,360. In addition, it i�, estimated that
receipt� from parking ticketti far exceed the co�t of pollc-
ing and �ervicing but �he exact arr.ount of the�e co�t, are
presently unknown.
• Initial analy�i� thu� pZace� total City ' � parking reven-
use in exce�s of $316,650 per year from public parking.
Thewe receipt� are being placed in the Cityt� General Fund,
and produce the equivalent of a� lea�t �ne mill of tax relief
for the City ' w taxpayer,
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority in it� 1a.t
report indicated that it gro��ed $377,200 from parking 1ot�
between October 1974 and October 1975. Direct expense�
agair..t this income wa� approximately $50,000 in the form
of direct staff co�t and operating expenses. The net park-
ing income ta the HRA wa� $327,200. Thi� money was partial:�y
diwtributed to the Ci��, County and School District� a� an
in lieu tax payment of $152,000, The balance was placed in
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority ' � general fund anu
used to underwrite it� general operating expen�e�. Currer,�
a�ties�ment af thi� activity indicated the amount of income i�
decreasing in proportion to the number of HRA owned lots and
the establitihment of lower than competitive rate� in .ome
lot:, such a� the lot on block A ad�acent to Dayton�.
- 7 -
., • ,��,Q�,�r�
n
Thirdly, the Civic Center in itw annual report dated
Apri1 1975, indicated that it had a grosw revenue of
$351,012 and operating expen�es of $162,415. The net income
of $188,597 is pledged toward the debt retirement of the
parking facility and the entire Civic Center.
In �ummary, the City of St. Paul, the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority and the Civic Center are currently ' �
receiving approximately �832,000 in opera�ing revenue each
year from public parking source�.
The above doe� not include potential revenue� which
could be derived from �everal of the City �s free parking
area� �uch as Navy and Harriet I�land, Health Center area, etc. ,
It �� a�aumed that if all �arking i� nlaced under a
central manaoament agency, the City'� net income from park-
ing could ea�ily exceed one million dollars per year.
It �hould be easily recognized that through prudent
management potential exi�t�, on a yearly basis, for the
development of parking programs and facilitieQ which could
allow the City to develop a wizable parking expansion program
or, a pay-as-you-go ba�is, or a program which could provide
"free" customer off-�treet parking through some form of
validation �ystem or a combination of both,
The City has many alternatives open to achieve the
funding of an overall parking program. The�e include:
1. A pay_a�-you-go program based upon current net operating
receipt�.
2, An accelerated program based upon bonding and pledged
current and projected parking receipts.
3. Tax increment financing in development di�trict arza�
- 8 -
.� ,.
�. D�velopment of large or fringe area parking program
based upon a��e�sments to benefiting property owner�.
5. ^1he u�e of pollution abatement bond� when such are
feasible.
6. U�e of Community Development and other a��te anc�
federal funds.
Beyond the que�tion of the most appropriate u�e of
�hese financing �ource� for new programs, there are a whole
�erieti of operating question� that should be delt with now.
These include such i�sue� as rate �tructure�, (current public
rate reduction may be �eopardizing priviate operators ), public
vw. private operation�, parking meter operation�, etc.
It iU felt that the re�ponsibility for the�e and �imilar
is�ue� should be lodged with city agencie� or department�
tha� t�iill have ultimate re�pansibility for their implemen-
tation. No �uch agency currently exi�t�; it i� the conclu�ion
of thi� study that there iu an immediate need for �uch an
agency and an independent, professional approach to the tiolving
of the entire city parking problem.
�+. NEED FOR PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
While it i� apparent tha� the City wi11 have to
play an increasing and dominate role in providing new park-
ing facilities, it i� al�o apparent that the majority of the
exiwting parking �upply is owned and managed by private enter-
pri�e. The development of a sound and meaningful public
management program must, therefore, involve and be respon�ive
to the concerns, needs and limitations of the private owner�
and operatar�, The development of a sound working relation-
ship bettaeen public and private parking interests, hold. the
key to a succes�ful program.
_ g _
. ,�i_��
�
It iw therefore recommended that the City ewtablish
a Parking Commi�sion to work with the re�ponsible City
Department� and agencies in developing parking plans and
program�.
5. LOCATION OF PARKING FUNCTION IN CITY GOVERNMENT
Con�iderable effort and thought haw been given to
the mo�t appropriate form and method of creating a respon�ible
publ3.c parking aoency in St. Paul.
The criteria for the es�ablishment of �uch an agency
included the following:
1. The ability to gather under its control the operating
responsibility for all publicly owned parking facilitie� .
2. Ability to recommend the issuanc� of bond� or the use
of current income� or other fund� available to the City
for the expanwion af the exi�ting parking �upply.
, 3. Ability to work with all other City Departments,
agencie� and authoritiea.
. 4. Ability �CO develop a direct work3ng relationship with
the private sector.
5. Ability to work with and gain approval of the Mayor and
City Council for worthwhile pro�ects.
6. Ability to develop and implement a public operating
policy for all existing public parking facilitie�
designed to obtain ma.ximum customer use without �eopard-
izing existing private parking f�.cilities.
7. Ability to develop a program for the expansion of the
City' s parking supply based upon the utilization of
- 10 -
present revenue� prior to considering bonding, tax
increment • financing, or other alternative�.
8, Ability to provide a��i�tance to �olve the parking
problems in any and all areas of the City with
con�ideration for outlining commercial areas and
independent commercial or industrial e�tabli�hmentw.
9. Ability to make �hi� agency reQpon�ible for all plan-
ning relating to parking and make this agzncy respons-
ible for obtaining co�p?.iance to any �tate or federal
regulations,
After con�ideration of the variou� alternative�, it i�
recommended that the City Council, by ordinance, create a
�pecial divi�ion within the.Department of Community Develop-
men�. Lodging the parking function at thiw level and location
in City governm2nt- would create an adminiQtrative companent
of sufficient ytature to accomplish its ob�ective� and provide
it with �nough fre�dom to �ucceyyfully work with an appointed
Parking Commisaion.
6. PROPO�ED PARKING AGENCY BUDGET
Sub�tantial �umQ of money are currently being expanded
by the City of St. Paul and its related agencies on the
administration and planning of parkin� program�.
The consolidation of these efforts under a single agency
i, expected to re�ult in a reduct3.on of these costs and a
savings to the public as a whole.
A� a means of funding the new agency, it i� contemplated
that the city would transfer �ame or all of the parking func-
tion� and budgets of exi�ting city departnent� to the new
- 11 -
.. r ���
��P�-�
agency. The�e tran�fer� could include the following:
- rund� curr�ntly pro�ramed for parking �tudie� by the
City Planning Department ,
- Fund� currzntly available for planning and de�i�n of
parking ramp� in th� Downtown Development Di�trict.
- Fund, currently programed �y the HRA for admini�tration
and planning of parking facilitie� .
- Fund� currently budgeted by the City for parking
admini�tration a��ociated with �treet meter�, the
City Narket, Midway Stadium, and similar parking
op�rations .
- Net reven�aes from current parking operation� .
Current accounting and budget practice� make it difficult
to e�timate the exact amount of fund� patentially available
from each of the above �ource� �ut they appear to �e �ub-
�tantially in �xcesa of the amount neces�ary to fund the
initial budget of the propo�ed parking agency.

Steering Committee and tlie Parking Sub-committee . He reported
that the Public Hearing on the downtown people mover , a pre-requisite
to submission of the City ' s application for engineering and planning
funds , was an orderly and positive hearing,. favorable to the applica-

He also announced that an architect will be selected in the next few
days for the� Capitol Mall Annex. �
PILLSBURY DECISION
The Pillsbury decision to remain in downtown Minneapolis and to be a
major tenant in a twin tower office complex was discussed by Bob Van Hoef ,
along witti some of ttie ramifications that it can have on the Saint Paul
program. He stated his amazement that riinneapolis can produce financial
corimitments in support of a project which is anticipated to add a
million square feet of additional space to downtown P�inneapolis , while
Saint Paul struggles with around 100 ,000 square feet of commitment .
� The Pillsbury commitment will have a serious impact on the City Center
program of Oxford Development . As a result , the Oxford developers
may concentrate more ori Saint Paul where the only mixed-use developmen.t
project may now be located.
PARKING COMrIITTEE
!� Louis Meyers , who has chaired the Operation ' 85 Parking Committee ,
/ reviewed the efforts of his committee , giving special credit to
Clarence Simonowicz , consultant , and Scott Davies , of the Briggs and
Morgan firm , for legal. assistance .
In the beginning , the committee establislied i�s objective to accomplish
• "free" parking for downtown users on a competitive basis with suburban
centers . The result of the co;nmittee ` s effort is a report and a
proposed ordinance . The ordinance provides for the establishment of
a City Parking Commission to review public parking activities , recommend
p�.ans and programs and relate ttiem to private parlcing efforts . It is
suggested the Commission be comprised of private citizens who are
involved and knowleclgeable of business and parking .
-� �- � --2-
��;��;�-� -
The proposed Parking Ordinance also provides for the appointment of
a Parking Administrator and the centralizatioii of all public parking
responsibilities and activities . The proposed Ordinance makes clear
tllat an expanded public parking program should not jeopardize existing
private parking facilities which will continue to be needed to serve
the downtown area. "
The report which accompanies and supports the proposed Parking
Ordinance points out that while the City is much involved in the
parking business (probably the largest supplier of parking_ in the
downtown area) that the public parking function is distributed in
many agencies and departments . Tliis has prohibited , in the past , �
any overall public parlcing strategy .
The report also indicates that public revenues from parking are
used for a variety of purposes other than parking . and , consequently ,
are not presently available to support an expanded parking program.
There was a period of questions and answers on the proposed program.
Chairman P�eyers reported that the Par�:ing Committee , after many
meetings , approved the report and proposed Ordinance .
MOTION
Louis Meyers moved , and Dick Radman seconded ,
THAT THE STEEP.ING COMrSITT�� APPROVE Tli� PARKING REPORT AND
PROPOSED ORDINANCE FOR "DISTRIBUTION TO THE OPERATION ' 85

Council President Robert Sylvester and
Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Saint Paul, Minnesota
Dear President Sylvester ancl Council Members:
SUBJECT: Proposal to Establish a City Parking Commission
Attached is an ordinance crea�ting a City Parking Commissian. This
ordinance is the result of work initiated by a committee of
Operation 85. The proposal has been reviewed and approved by
Operation 85, as cvell as the Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown
Council. Copies of the proposal and meeting minutes where the
proposal was endorsed are also attached.
�s you know, parking is a complex issue in the downtown area and
includes questions ranging from who should provide parking facilities,
and where, to what should be the rates for parking meters. It is the
intent of this ordinance to create an advisory commission composed of
seven members which will give guidance to the city and the private
sector as we attempt to find solutions to the parking problems in the
city. It is the intent of the ordinance to bring together the
resources in �the private sector who operate parking facilities or
have a direct concern with parking, those with a general interest in
solving parking problems, and city staff.
Within the administration, it is appropriate that this action be taken
to consolidate the responsibilities with respect to parking and parking
development, at the same time as the Department of PZanning and Economic
Development is being organized. It is my intention to assign the
responsibilities to a staff person -- a "Parkiny Administrator" -- in
that department and have the Parking Commission work closely with the
new department. While responsibilities will be newly consolidated,
no new staff will be added.

your prompt consideration and approval.

t parking facilities, establishing a City
Par ing Commission.
THE COUNCIL OF TH CITY OF SAINT PAUL DOES ORDAIN:
Section l. Pur e. In order to provide an effective
supply of public an pr vate parking facilities serving Saint
Paul commercial areas whi e retaining prima.ry reliance on
private suppliers, the Cit Council finds it appropriate and
timely to centralize the pu ic parking responsibilities within
city government and to provi a veh3.cle for input from private
parking providers and generato .
It is the imtent of the Mayo and City Council to encourage
the private construction and manage ent of parking facilities
whenever possible and to cause the p lic construction and econ-
omical management of needed parking wh n such cannot be provided
by private enterprise.
It is the further intent of the Ma.yor d City Council to
establish a Parking Commission, composed pri rily of persons
knowledgeable of private policies and managem t practices, to
participate in municipal decisions regarding th provision and
management of public parking. It is the expecta 'on of the City
Council that said Commission will assist the City 'n developing
economically sound public parking programs which wi 1 be comple-
mentary to the private sector and beneficial to the tire city.
