DATE: June 28, 2004
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: June Yotsuya, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF ONE -YEAR PARKING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN GRACE COMMUNITY CHURCH AND
CITY OF SEAL BEACH
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
This Letter of Agreement is a one -year renewal of the contract between Grace Community
Church, 138 Eighth Street, and the City of Seal Beach for use of the Eighth Street City Hall
permit parking lot by members of the church.
DISCUSSION:
Since 1995, Grace Community Church and the City of Seal Beach have signed a sl ries of
parking renewal agreements that have allowed the church to use the Eighth Street City Hall
permit parking lot on Sundays only from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. From 1995 to 6/30/2003, the
church paid $40 each for 37 parking permits for the lot. However, City parking fees increased
over the years but the church parking agreement remained flat. Because of this situation, staff
changed the agreement last year to include an annual rate adjustment based on the CPI. In 2003,
the City used a calculated rate adjustment based on the current CPI ratio of 3.9% that reflected in
a rate increase from $40 per space to $41.56 per space. Using the current CPI ratio of 2.1%, the
new agreement will be $42.43 per space for 2004 -2005.
In addition to providing use of the City permit lot, previous agreements also provided ten (10)
guest permits at no cost for occasional use by church - designated visitors on a Monday through
Sunday basis. The current value of the guest permits is $14 each. Church visitors are not
allowed to park in the Eighth Street municipal lot during the week unless the car displays one of
the guest permits allotted to the church. In reviewing the renewal with the church representative,
staff discussed including the costs for the guest permits into the new agreement; however, the
church representative did not agree to the addition.
The tern of the renewal agreement is for one year commencing on July 1, 2004 and terminating
on June 30, 2005.
