(Footnotes on Attachment A list the recent fee history.) City Council recommended no changes in the two seasonal permit categories: "Slip Holder Pass" and "Harbor Area Employee Pass." Both Administration and Council recommended to increase the "Vehicle with Trailer Pass" and the "Visitor Pass" each from $75 in 2011 to $100 for both 2012 and 2013 seasons. 125 Vehicle with Trailer or Visitor passes were sold in 2011 at $75. 125 times an additional $25 should bring a revenue increase of approximately $3,125. A 2011 Alaska Parking Survey lists Seward on the high side of daily rates and on the low side of seasonal passes compared to Alaskan communities from Sitka, Juneau and Petersburg to Whittier, Anchorage and Fairbanks. The work session further detailed the success of the Digital Payment Technologies automated, solar - powered, cell phone operated pay stations, the reduction of staff hours, the "Harbor Launch + Parking Combo," and the overall health of the Parking Fund. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures or Other Plans or Policies: ATTORNEY REVIEW: No FISCAL NOTE Council will approve the Parking Budget which is based upon $10 daily fees and $25 increases to the two, seasonal passes categories.
