Agenda Item # 1
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
January 9, 2007
Agenda Report # 71
TO: Mayor and Councilors
SUBJECT: RiverCenter Parking - Student Day Rate
INITIATED BY: Department of Transportation/METRA
Recommendation: Approval is request to reduce the monthly parking lease
for Day Students at the RiverCenter's parking deck to $15 Monday-Friday.
Background: Columbus State University is expecting 300 additional
students that will have parking needs in Uptown as a result of the Music and
the new Arts Program. These students will be non-housing students and will
need to park in the parking deck to attend classes. In an effort to assist
CSU students and provide some level of incentive not to park on the street, a
reduced monthly parking lease is necessary. Students taking advantage of the
reduced day rate will enter into a monthly lease agreement with METRA (see
attached).
Analysis: The Department of Transportation/METRA will work with CSU
staff to introduce the students to Uptown Parking and give them an opportunity
to make the necessary arrangements to get signed up for the monthly parking.
January 8-12, 2007 will be free to all CSU students with a valid student I.D.
card.
Financial Considerations: The proposed day student rate will be $15 per month
with a one time refundable card fee of $15.
Legal Considerations: None.
Recommendations/Actions: Approve the Day Student Monthly rate for parking in
the RiverCenter Parking Deck.to $15 Monday-Friday.
