PARENT, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 48801 July 16, 1984 Mrs. Beverlie Beck Common Council President 4th Floor County -City Bldg. South Bend, IN 46601 Dear Council President Beck: 219/284.9483 I have filed the enclosed ordinance for first reading of the July 23, 1984 Council meeting. This ordinance upon passage will amend the existing monthly parking rates for the Colfax and Jefferson Street Parking Garages. The Board of Public Works passed this ordinance in the form of Resolution 15 -1984 at their meeting Monday, July 16, 1984. Currently the Colfax Garage has a monthly parking fee of $30.00 per month. The Jefferson Street Parking Garage has a monthly fee of $35.00 per month. This ordinance while leaving all current, individual, hourly, daily and monthly fees intact, will enable us to negotiate volume discount rates based on a range of vehicles as laid out in Section IV of the ordinance. For 5 through 19 vehicles we will charge $27.00 a month, 20 through 49 vehicles, $24.00 per month, 50 through 99 vehicles, $20.00 per month, and 100 vehicles and over, $15.00 each per month. The filing of this ordinance allows us to address several inquirers we have had recently reference volume parking contracts in the Colfax Garage. Currently Memorial Hospital has requested 125 to 200 parking places for a period of about 2 years in the Colfax Garage. These spaces will allow them to provide parking for parking lost due to construction and expansion of Memorial Hospital. At the same time we have had inquiries from several other potential customers based on volume use of the garage in the range of under 50 cars. I believe volume discounted charges are equitable and fair because I will only have to issue 1 bill per month, whether it be for 5 people or for 100 people, as opposed to individual statements. As that savings represents a lower cost for me, it seems reasonable to pass on a portion of it to the user.
