Appendices and Parking Management Tooffiox The following set of appendices provides a range of documents designed to support and augment the contents of this parking management framework plan. The content includes sample operations manuals, annual report templates, white papers on technical topics, an extensive Parking Management Best Practices document, audit checklists, etc. One of the major themes identified in the Strategic Parking Management Plan is the need to "master the fundamentals" of managing a municipal parking program. To this end, we have provided several documents that provide a comprehensive overview of the various elements that must be addressed to have a successful program. Appendix XX, entitled: "The Characteristics of Effective Parking Programs" provides a comprehensive program approach that can be used as a framework for program development. We have also provided several very specific "tools" to help advance the San Marcos parking program in a number of operations focused areas. These tools range from a sample parking enforcement manual to a tool designed to critique and audit the existing enforcement program. Another example of an "operations focused tool" is a very detailed parking facility operations manual template. In every case, the goal of providing these sample documents is for the San Marcos parking program to use them as a basis and guide for creating similar documents specific to their operation. Finally, in anticipation that the City will authorize, recruit and hire a new Parking Manager we have included several "white papers" on a number of parking planning and management topics that will hopefully put the new manager on the path to success. Examples include: security, valet parking, in -lieu fees, tax increment financing, successful approaches to evaluating parking rates, etc. Another interesting and valuable appendix item is the Accredited Parking Organization program (APO) developed by the International Parking Institute. In several years, we strongly encourage the program to pursue accreditation through the IPI program. In the meantime, the APO manual and criteria matrix are another good source of program development information. It is our hope that these documents will provide valuable background information and practical tools to help advance and improve the San Marcos parking program as staff work to implement the primary recommendations contained in the Strategic Parking Management Plan. 4:D'te- t1"fie fu ll set of AppeImhces &, Pr� kY k ing Mlainageirneint 11'o l Kwlft ('teI"tllls we s"bll b61ng assel"tl"11I°filed.�1111he Hs�t below pIY,4:DvkAes a sal"tl"11pl�l Ing of t1he Iftei"tl"11s " o be pIY,4:Dv Appendix x Appendix x Appendix x Appendix x Appendix x Appendix x Appendix x j le 20 Characteristics of Effective Parking Management - White Paper Annual Parking Report Template International Parking Institute - APO Program Manual International Parking Institute - APO Matrix Final 2016 Developing a Retail Parking Support Strategy Generic Parking Facility Rules and Regulations Guidelines for Using Parking as an Economic Development Strategy
