Amending San Francisco Transportation Code, Division II,
Temporary Street Closure Permits, amending Sections 305, 412, and 1009 to add
towing and storage administrative fees, the special event parking meter rate
for the South Embarcadero, Civic Center and Fillmore SFpark pilot
program areas, and the monthly rate for parking on SFMTA property to the
Transportation Code, and amending Section 910 to revise the SFMTA Parking
Permit requirements and associated parking privileges. GOAL
SFMTA’s Strategic Plan, Financial Capacity, which is to ensure financial
stability and effective resource allocation.
DESCRIPTION Modification 1 – Cost recovery increases to various fees and fines
included in the FY2011-2012 budget. These increases were considered during
hearings on March 30, 2010 and April 20, 2010 as part of the two-year budget
approval process. Transportation Code modifications were approved by the SFMTA
Board for FY2011 increases through formal amendment of the Transportation Code;
however, Transportation Code modifications were not drafted for the FY2012
budget year since these modifications do not go into effect until July 1, 2011.
The FY2012 modifications, which consist of updates to Sections 304 (Color Curb
Painting Fees) and 902 (Parking Permit Fees) are now being submitted as
amendments to the Transportation Code, and are summarized as follows:

· Base Permit - Processing 1,135

$200 $201 Boot
SFMTA Parking Permit Fee (Fee assessed
for City and other vehicles to park at parking meters under the jurisdiction
of the SFMTA without payment or for on-street reserved permit spaces assigned
to City Departments ): o Currently $924. The fee calculation would change to be based on the daily Parking Meter Use
Fee set forth in Section 312. The fee would be calculated by multiplying the
parking meter use fee by five days a week for fifty-two weeks per year. For
FY 2012, the annual permit fee will be $1,300.
Modification 2 – Additional cost recovery and other fee
and fine increases identified for FY 2012. In addition to the increases approved
during the FY2011-2012 budget cycle, the following cost recovery and other fee
and fine increases have been included for approval in support of the FY2012
budget. It is estimated that increasing these fees and fines will result in
the cost recovery of program expenditures in the FY2012 budget estimated at
$300,000 for the Special Collections Fee and additional revenue of $100,000 for
the increase in the Transit Fines:
Fee (assessed for previously uncollected citations that require additional
collections efforts): o Currently $30. The fee would increase to $40 on July 1, 2012.
· Transit Fine for Fare Evasion
and Passenger Misconduct
o Currently $75 for
the first offense. The fine would increase to $100 on July 1, 2012. This
increase is required as a deterrence since the Fast Pass A is increasing to
$72 as of July 1, 2011 which is $3 below the existing fine.
Modification 3 – Disabled Parking Fine Increases. In January 2010,
legislation AB 144 was signed into law to address the problem of disabled
parking placard abuse. AB 144 authorizes a civil penalty of not less
than $250 and not more than $1,000 for parking in a blue zone without a valid
license plate or placard, the misuse of a special license plate or placard, the
use of a counterfeit, forged, altered or mutilated placard or special license
plate and the use of a valid license plate or placard when it is displayed on a
vehicle that is not being used to transport. As part of the FY2011-2012
budget approval process, the SFMTA Board approved fine increases to three
violations (CVC 22511.57 A-C) to set the penalty at $1,000. However, SFMTA
staff is now requesting that the fine amounts, currently $750, be increased to $850
instead and go into effect on July 1, 2011. Recently, three additional
disabled parking violations (CVC 22507.8A-C) were identified as qualifying for
the same fine increase. If approved by the SFMTA Board, these three fine
amounts would increase from $303 to $850. A ten percent additional penalty
assessment ($85) will be imposed on all six violations pursuant to CVC section
40203.6. The SFMTA has chosen to set the penalty at $850 instead of $1,000
because the DMV cannot accommodate processing citation totals in excess of
three digits (i.e. $999), and to leave room for potential future penalty
increases. The approved FY2012 Budget includes $100,000 estimate for this fine
Modifications 4: Penalty Increases for Equipment Violations. As part of the
recent State Audit, equipment-related violations were identified as being
subject to the California Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule (CUBPS). CUBPS is
a list of fine amounts the State has set for violations in several categories
in order to have uniformity in penalty amounts. For equipment violations,
local jurisdictions who assess these fines must pay the State fifty percent of
the amounts collected. Therefore, fines for the violations below should be
increased to the amount set forth in CUBPS which is $114. Since the State
collects $57 for each citation listed, if citation amounts remained at their
current levels, this would have a continued negative impact to the FY2012
budget of approximately $500,000.

Modification 5: Listing in the Transportation Code of
rate, fee, fine, and charge amounts previously approved. Although these
amounts are usually listed on the SFMTA's, SFpark's or other websites,
it is important to list them in the Transportation Code, which is the official
codification of traffic and transit fees, fines, rates and charges for the
City. The following will be added:
Fee (Division II, Section 301, subsection c): Entering this fee into the
Transportation Code assumes passage by the SFMTA Board of the increase from the
current fee of $30, as noted in Modification 2 above.
· Boot Removal Fee (Division II,
Section 301, subsection d): This fee was approved as part of the FY2011-FY2012
budget approval process, as noted in Modification 1 above.
for Vehicle Towing (Division II, Section 305): The fee ($186.50) was
approved as part of the FY2011-2012 budget cycle, and does not include tow-car
operator assessed fees for performing towing services.
for Vehicle Storage (Division II, Section 305): The fee ($2.25 per day,
prorated the first day to $2 since the first four hours of storage are free)
has not been modified since its original passage as part of the FY2008 budget
cycle. · Special Event
Parking Meter Rate (Division II, Section 412): Between $0.25/hour and
$18.00/hour during, or up to four hours prior to special events in the South
Embarcadero, Civic Center and Fillmore SFpark Pilot Program Areas. This
parking meter rate range was approved in 2008 as part of the SFpark Pilot Program approval (Resolution 08-192).
· Monthly Rate to
Park on SFMTA Property (Section 1009): The monthly rate shall not exceed the
cost of a Municipal Railway/BART pass (Fast Pass A) plus ten dollars.
Modification 6: Revising the SFMTA Parking Permit requirements and
associated parking privileges. The SFMTA is revising the SFMTA Parking
Permit requirements to formally exclude maintenance, emergency response, and
any other vehicle whose primary purpose is not the sole transport of passengers
and are being used for official City business. The permit requirements
will apply only to passenger vehicles including sedans, sports utility vehicles
(SUVs), and minivans.
Modification 1: Since the fines, fees and rates for
these modifications were evaluated and approved as part of the FY2011-2012
budget review, and this action merely adds them to the Transportation Code, no
Modification 2: Not raising the Special Collections Fee
and the Transit Fine.
Modification 3: Since fine increases for CVC section
22511.57 A-C violations were evaluated and approved as part of the FY2011-2012
budget review, and this action now adds the fine to the Transportation Code but
at a new penalty amount, no alternatives were considered.
Modification 4: Alternative: Not raising the equipment
fines. Should the fines in this category not be raised, the SFMTA would still
owe the State $57 for every citation issued. Modifications 5 and 6: Both of these modifications are
done to list specific fees and rates already approved by the SFMTA Board. Since the items are informational, no alternatives were considered.
Modifications 1 and 3 do not affect the FY2012 budget,
since revenue items were already approved and reported as part of the
FY2011-2012 budget process. Approval of Modifications 2 and 4 enables the SFMTA to
recover costs involved in providing the associated services to the public and
to pay the State their portion of fines collected for equipment violations. There are no funding impacts for Modifications 5 and 6.
PUBLISHED NOTICE AND PUBLIC HEARING
Pursuant to Charter Section 16.112 and the Rules of
Order of the Board of Directors, advertisements were placed in the City’s
official newspaper to provide notice that the Board of Directors will hold a
public hearing on May 3, 2011 to consider the above modifications. In
compliance with these requirements, the advertisement ran in the San Francisco
Examiner for a five-day period beginning on April 13, 2011.
Increases to fees, rates, fines and charges are subject
to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The
Department of City Planning has determined that changes in various fines, fees, rates and charges, as itemized
in Attachment A to this Resolution, including increases to the parking citation
special collections fee, vehicle boot removal fee, fare evasion and passenger
misconduct penalties, equipment violation fines, disabled parking fines, color
curb painting fees, and parking permit fees for Special Traffic Permits,
Residential Area Parking Permits, Contractor Permits, Vanpool Permits, Carpool
Permits, SFMTA Parking Permits, Farmer's Market Parking Permits, and Temporary
Street Closure Permits are statutorily exempt from environmental review under
California Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA implementing guidelines,
Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations section 15273 because the
increases will be used to meet operating expenses including employee wage rates
and fringe benefits, or to purchase or lease supplies, equipment, or materials.
It is recommended that the SFMTA Board of Directors
approve the following modifications to Division II of the Transportation Code: Amending Sections 301, 302, 303, 304, 902, and 910 to increase the parking
Permit requirements and associated parking privileges. SAN FRANCISCO
