End
Overview
Overview
This is an agreement between the Village and the Park District for the continued intergovernmental use of parking facilities.
Body
Staff Recommendation
Approve the Resolution
Fiscal Impact
The annual Parking Fund budget provides for both the revenues that are anticipated to be received from this agreement as well as the expenditures associated with the operation of the Rehm Pool Parking Lot (“Rehm Lot”). On an annual basis, the Village generates permit sales from the Rehm Lot, based upon the total number of permits sold per quarter.
Background
On July 18, 2011 the Village Board authorized a Lease Agreement with the Park District of Oak Park for mutual use of parking lots.
Pursuant to the proposed agreement, the Village would continue to offer quarterly parking permits for sale at the Rehm Lot in exchange for free permit parking for Park District employees at the OPRF High School Parking Garage at 137 N Scoville, Village Parking Lot 61 at 36 North Blvd, and at the Village leased Lots 44 and 56 located on the Madison Highland Redevelopment site until such time as redevelopment occurs at that site.
The proposed Agreement provides for a five year term, subject to the following:
-The Park District is responsible for snow removal and maintenance at the Rehm Lot.
-The Village is responsible for snow removal and maintenance of Lots 44, 56 and 61 as well as at the OPRF High School Garage.
-The Agreement may be extended if both the Village and Park District so desire for up to an additional five years.
-The Village retains revenues from the sale of parking permits at the Rehm Lot.
-The Park District is not charged for parking permits provided to its employees for Lots 19, 44, 56 and 61.
-It is stated that parking in the OPRF High School Garage is restricted by the terms of the Intergovernmental Agreement between the Village and School District 200 that governs use of the Garage.
-It is provided in the Agreement that Lots 44 and 56 are the subject of proposed redevelopment and at such time as redevelopment occurs, the Park District agrees that employee permits will no longer be available at the Madison Highland site.
Alternatives
The Village Board could choose not to continue the Intergovernmental Agreement with the Park District and the permit holders would be relocated to other parking areas in the Village.
