TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MARK B. JINKS, CITY MANAGER /s/
DOCKET TITLE:
TITLE
Consideration of a Resolution to Increase the Motor Coach Fee for FY 2020. [ROLL-CALL VOTE]
BODY
_________________________________________________________________
ISSUE: Resolution to increase the motor coach fee.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the Resolution (Attachment) as part of the FY 2020 Approved Budget. The new fees will be effective July 1, 2019.
DISCUSSION: The City currently administers a motor coach reservation system that allows people to purchase permits to park their buses at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial. Under the existing system, the City receives $8 of the $40 collected for overnight permits and no revenue from the $15 daily permit. This currently amounts to approximately $9,000 annually in City revenues. Under this proposal, the City would increase the City portion of the fees for daily and overnight permits each by $5, yielding an additional $6,000 in on-going General Fund revenues.
FISCAL IMPACT: Increasing the fees for motor coach permits will generate an additional $6,000 in General Fund revenue in FY 2020.
