Commission approves weekday $4 and weekend $4.50 beach parking, directs staff to pursue shorter increments and vendor data

Stantec presented parking revenue models and compared neighboring jurisdictions. Commissioners discussed the resident 20% ParkMobile discount and whether increments should be hourly, 30‑minute or 15‑minute. Carlos Best (parking operations manager) said the 20% resident discount is included in the modeling and is applied via plate registration in ParkMobile.

Following discussion about equity for residents and revenue impacts, commissioners reached consensus to set weekday parking at $4 and weekends at $4.50 and to pursue 30‑minute increment capability with ParkMobile; staff were asked to obtain usage analytics from ParkMobile and to report potential revenue impacts if increments change (e.g., from 60 to 30 or 15 minutes) before a final implementation change.
