OFF SITE PARKING TASK FORCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
OVERVIEW
In December, 1997, the City Council established a term limited Off -Site Parking Task Force to
examine the off-site/on-street parking issues. The Task Force incorporated the opinions and
insights of representatives from different sectors of the community. From February through June
of 1998, the Task Force considered the following objectives:
♦ Identify the issues
♦ Consider the prohibition of oversized vehicles
♦ Consider the prohibition of extended parking (72 hours)
♦ Review existing laws
♦ Review surrounding cities' parking solutions/policies
♦ Recommend possible solutions for the identified problems
At the conclusion of the meetings, the Task Force forwarded its Final Report and several motions
for the City Council's consideration. The City Council received and reviewed the Task Forces
Final Report on July 21, 1998.
As directed by the City Council, staff presented a variety of options for five (5) of the motions at
the September 1, 1998, City Council Study Session. Based upon comments received at the Study
Session, staff was directed to provide expanded information on the options.
Staff has received additional information/input from the Sheriff s Department and City
Attorney's Office for the various motions and options. Also, for your reference, the September 1,
1998 City Council Study Session packet is enclosed (Attachment VII).
Motion I
"To recommend to the City Council that enforcement should be increased,
specifically to the violations discussed within the Task Force meetings."
Issue: The level of enforcement of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and City
Municipal Code regarding the parking of vehicles.
Summary: The Task Force focused on the level of enforcement of the existing parking
regulations by the Sheriff s Department. In 1997, 1,345 parking citations were issued.
The following are the top five 1997 cites: no current registration tabs; parking in excess of time
limit; no front plate; failure to obey parking signs; and parking in front of fire hydrant.
The current enforcement of parking is administered through the City's contract with the Los
Angeles County Sheriffs Department - Deputy Sheriffs & Community Services Officers
(CSO's). The Sheriff s Department has included the attached memo (Attachment I) on the options
discussed by the City Council and attached a job description for Deputies, CSO (Intern's) and
Parking Control Officer.
Options:
Redeployment of Community Service Officers - Currently, the City has two CSO's. Their
current work shifts are 6:00 a.m. to 2: 00 p.m. and noon to 8:00 p.m. The CSO's
responsibilities include:
39% of time spent on writing criminal reports (3 to 4 reports per shift);
26% of time spent on parking enforcement (writing tickets)
35% of time spent on miscellaneous work (assisting the sworn personnel)
The redeployment would result in an increase in parking citations; however, the
redeployment could cause a delay in response time to routine calls and could divert patrol
deputies away from their duties.
Currently write 60 citations per month (average, one CSO)
Increase 280% to 228 citations per month
No increase in expenditures
Revenue increase of $90,720 per year.
(Revenue increase is based upon an additional 168 tickets, at an average
ticket of $45.00)
Community Service Officer's Overtime - Create overtime shifts for the two CSO's to focus
on parking enforcement. The overtime shifts will be similar to the School Traffic
enforcement overtime.
Currently, a total of 11 CSO's are at the Walnut Station and 2 are assigned to Diamond
Bar. The overtime created could result in the CSO's becoming fatigued, and the ordering
of the CSO's to fill the slots, could be a problem.
The cost estimate would vary based upon the number of shifts per week and hours per
shift. An example would be five shifts per week, four over time hours per shift.
Currently write 60 citations per month (average)
Increase 140% to 144 citations issued per month
Increase in expenditures $21,500 per year
Revenue increase of $45,360 per year.
(Based upon an additional of 84 tickets, at an average ticket of $45.00)
Sheriff Parking Control Officer - The Sheriff s Department has a class specification of
Parking Control Officer, whose only duty is to enforce motor vehicle parking regulations.
The Parking Control Officer could be full-time or part-time.
The creation of a full-time position would result in an increase in the number of parking
citations by 280%.
The drawback to the Parking Control Officer is the limited job responsibility. If the
Parking Control Officer were to see a dangerous situation, he/she would only be able to
report the situation to the Sheriffs Station. He/She can not assist in traffic control, report
writing, etc.
New position
Increase of 280% to 228 citations issued per month
Increase in expenditures of $57,634/year (full time)
Revenue increase of $123,120 per year.
(Based upon 228 citations at an average ticket cost of $45.00)
Code Enforcement Officer's Citation Authority - At the September 1, 1998 Study Session,
staff presented the City Council with the option of creating citation authority for the Code
Enforcement Officer to issue parking citations. Based upon a survey of ten (10) cities
whose Code Enforcement Officer has citation authority, none of the cities authorizes the
Code Enforcement Officer to issue parking citations on public streets. In these cities, the
Code Enforcement Officer could issue parking citations on private property (i.e. vehicles
parking on lawn; inoperative vehicles; vehicles in the set back area).
2
Diamond Bar Public Service Officer - The City Council could create a classification of a
Public Service Officer. The Public Service Officer's (PSO's) duties would include, the
enforcement of all applicable parking regulations, both on public and private property.
The classification could be part-time or full-time employee.
As discussed previously, the Community Service Officer's currently spend 26% of their
time writing parking citations. A full-time or part-time Public Service Officer could
spend 100% of his/her time conducting parking enforcement.
New position
230 citations issued per month
Full-time employee would be $41,100 (does not include vehicle)
Revenue increase of $124,200 per year.
It should be noted that currently the City receives approximately $50,000 in parking fines and
that the above anticipated/projected fines will be depended upon the field conditions. In addition
the City's parking citation administrator's fees may increase.
Motion 2
"To recommend to the City Council to begin a public information campaign to raise public
awareness of existing laws; that the information would convey to the residents why these
laws are in existence; and that the City Council consider a postable insert into the next City
newsletter as an appropriate vehicle to accomplish this request."
Issue: To develop a public information/education program to educate the residents
about parking regulations.
Summary:. At the September 1, 1998 Study Session, staff presented five (5) options to
accomplish this goal. The City Council directed staff to implement all five motions which
include the following:
♦ Develop a pamphlet to be sent to all homes (City Newsletter or Windmill)
♦ Develop a Public Service Announcement (CATV)
♦ Prepare press releases to all newspapers
♦ Post information on the City on Line and the City's Internet Home Page
♦ Create an Information Hotline
The City publicized the November 7, 1998, Town Hall Meeting regarding Off -Site Parking
recommendations and Traffic Solutions.
Staff will implement a public information/education program when all the options are finalized.
4
Motion 3
"To recommend to the City Council that the Sheriffs Department be instructed to enforce
the present off-site parking laws."
"To recommend to the City Council that the Sheriffs Department provide detailed
information regarding citations and include the following items: time of day or night, day
of week -weekday or holiday, location -commercial or residential, part of the City, violation,
who wrote the ticket (CSO or Deputy), violation noted by an officer or called in by a
resident or other party, how many warnings were issued, action taken and when(figures by
the week and by the month), did the citations increase or decrease over a period of time, a
hot line for the City for accountability, cost in man-hours relating to the work involved,
maps of patrolled areas and routes that were taken as they drive through the City."
Issue: To have a detail/comprehensive analysis completed on all parking citations issued
for a specific period.
Summarv: Attached is a copy of a parking citation (Attachment II). The required data includes:
date, day, time, vehicle, location of violation, and violation. The Sheriff s Department has also
developed a check -list (Attachment 11I) for the additional requested information.
A survey of cities was conducted regarding the data collection. The Sheriff s Department
contacted nine (9) agencies. None of the surveyed agencies track parking citations at the level as
requested by the Task Force. Judicial Data Systems (JDS), the City's Parking Citation
Administrator, was contacted regarding the tracking of parking citations. JDS contracts with
over 100 agencies to administer parking citations. JDS does not have any agency that requests
similar additional information regarding parking citations.
The gathering of the requested information will take the Deputy or CSO's an additional three to
five minutes to fill out the form and the ticket. The additional time may impact the number of
citations the Deputy/CSO's can issue within the work shift.
Sheriffs Recommendation - Track the information currently on the attached citation.
Task Force Recommendation - Implement the Task Force Recommendation, prepare
copies of the check list, and distribute to all Deputies and CSO's to complete. The check-
list will be collected and analyzed by City staff.
5
Motion 5
"To recommend to the City Council to consider a dispensation/permit program for parking
unattached trailers and boats on city streets for a period of 24 hours."
Issue: To permit parking of unattached trailers and boats city streets for
loading/unloading purposes for a period of 24 hours and to assit residents who
live within a restricted parking area.
Summary: Staff presented City Council with four options. The Council requested that all four
options to be investigated.
Implement the City's Preferential Parking Program - The Diamond Bar Municipal Code,
Division 6 of Title 10 provides the authority for the City to create preferential parking
districts on appropriate streets. The Preferential Parking Program will enact parking
restrictions on certain or all streets and designate, preferential parking privileges to
residents or businesses in the area, through a permit program.
A Preferential Parking District is activated, by Ordinance, at the discretion of the City
Council, or upon receipt of a petition of a neighborhood. For example, the Diamond Bar
High School area could be designated as a Preferential Parking District. This designation
and implementation would allow residents to apply and receive annual or temporary
parking permits and be exempted from the one and two hour parking restrictions near the
High School.
Staff recommends the implementation of the Preferential Parking Program to
accommodate specific neighborhood needs.
Create an Annual and Temporary Parking Permit Program - As presented at the
September 1, 1998 Study Session, staff has developed an annual, temporary (up to five
days) and 24 hour permit program on a City wide basis. Attached is a draft Application
and Policy. (Attachment IV)
The Annual Permit would be for residents, in specific areas, where parking is restricted.
A Temporary Permit would apply for guest or a temporary situation which does not allow
the available parking area to meet the property owner/tenant's needs.
Staff recommends that the Annual and Temporary Parking Permit Program be
implemented through the Preferential Parking Program. The Preferential Parking
Program/Annual and Temporary Parking Permit Program would not be applicable to the
proposed prohibition of parking on street sweeping hours and days.
RI
The creation of an 24 -Hour permit program would authorize the parking of unattached
trailers or boats for the purpose of loading or unloading. This would not be applicable to a
prohibition regarding parking during street sweeping days. The City Council has
authority to create the 24-hour permit through CVC 22507(a). Staff would recommend
the creation of the 24-hour permit program.
Create a weight, width and length limit on all residential streets The parking of certain
oversized vehicles on City streets impairs visibility, unduly constricts driving lanes,
endangers children, and diminishes the supply of available parking spaces. The
prohibition of parking oversized vehicles on City streets advances the City's legitimate
interest in maintaining the safe flow of traffic on City streets.
Attached is a draft Ordinance (Attachment V) that creates the prohibition of parking of
any vehicle over 6,000 pounds, seven feet in width, and length of more than 25 feet. The
Ordinance would not apply to commercial vehicles making deliveries or pick-ups. The
proposed Ordinance would allow for the loading and unloading of large vehicles. The
proposed Ordinance would make DBMC Section 10. 16.160 irrelevant. Section 10.
16.160 is the restriction of parking commercial vehicles on certain public streets
weighing more, than 6,000 pounds between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The
DBMC Section 10. 16.490 regarding the prohibition of parking a vehicle over 6 foot high
within 100 feet of an intersection will still be applicable.
7
Motion 6
"To recommend to the City Council that no parking on street sweeping days be considered
as one alternative to the problems identified."
Issue: To enhance the effectiveness of the street sweeping services by prohibiting the
parking of vehicles on street sweeping days.
Summary: All residential streets are swept bi-weekly. The City has no restrictions regarding
parking on the streets during the street sweeping days. As a result, the street sweeper must go
around the parked vehicles and miss portions of curb and gutter. The prohibition of parking on
street sweeping days will assist in meeting the City's NPDES requirement.
Street sweeping is conducted to assist in the health, safety and community aesthetics. Currently,
the City is divided into seven (7) zones, which are swept on different days. At the September 1,
1998 Study Session, the Council requested to review a draft Resolution prohibiting parking on
street sweeping days.
Attached is the draft resolution and map regarding the zones (Attachment VI). The City would
post signs at all entrances to neighborhoods and cul de sacs stating the day and hours parking is
restricted. The approximate cost to install all signs would be approximately $136,000.
In a survey of surrounding cities, the parking penalty (fine) for parking on the streets during the
posted hours averages from $35.00 to $41.00.

SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE
DATE: September 29,1998
FILE NO.
FROM: RICHARD J. MARTINEZ,CAPTAI TO: TERRY BELANGER,
WALNUT REGIONAL STATION CITY MANAGER
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
SUBJECT: OFF-SITE PARKING TASK FORCE
The following is a response to certain questions from Council members at the workshop on September
1,1998:
1. Written "list of priorities" as requested by Council member O'Connor.
There is no specific written list, or other written guidelines or procedures that
numerically categorize the Sheriff's Department's response/position to certain law
enforcement matters. The general practice of the LASD is to focus/prioritize its
response to incidents depending upon the relative seriousness of the offense. For
example, an armed robbery in progress would take priority over a vandalism report or
a domestic violence call would take priority over a parking matter.
2. Job specifications for contract items.
See Attachment "A"
3. Number of crime reports per day by C.S.O.
An average of three to four reports were taken per day by a C.S.O.
W9
4. Time spent on crime reports versus time spent on parking enforcement.
39% of time spent on criminal reports.
26% of time spent on parking enforcement.
35% of time spent on miscellaneous work.(assist sworn personnel re: traffic/evidence, etc.)
5. Motion 1, Option 1
We estimate a 280% increase in the number of parking citations per month by C.S.O.;
from the current average of 60 per month. Potential negative effects of redeployment
of one of the C.S.O.s to parking enforcement only would include longer response times
to routine calls for service and would divert patrol deputies away from more important
duties.
6. Motion 1, Option 2:
We estimate a 140% increase in the number of parking citations per month; from the
current monthly average of 60. A foreseeable negative effect could be fatigue to the
limited amount of personnel available to work the overtime assignments. We currently
have eleven C.S.O. personnel assigned to the Walnut/San Dimas Station and two
currently assigned to the City of Diamond Bar.
7. Motion 1, Option 4:
We estimate a 280% increase in the number of parking citations per month; from the
current monthly average of 60. One of the potential negative effects of using the
Parking Control Officer (P.C.O.): they are not trained or equipped to handle other
duties, such as responding to routine crime report calls, etc. and, therefore, could not
be used to respond to various calls like a C.S.O., if demanded.
See Attachment "B"
8. Motion 3
We contacted nine different agencies, as small as the City of Arcadia and as large as
the City of Los Angeles, regarding the tracking of parking citations in the manner
proposed in Motion 3. None of those agencies track parking citations in any manner
whatsoever. The only way parking citations are identified is by individual citation
number. As to the request for a parking citation "check list', See Attachment "C".

hour permit" to provide a flexible permit process which serves the unique needs of various parking
situations. Anyone considering applying for a permit should review the permit descriptions below,

permit could result in a permit being declared null and void after it is issued. If there are any questions
regarding which type of permit is appropriate for a specific situation, contact the Permit Officer, at
(909) 396-5671.

restricted. The permit does not supersede parking restrictions on street sweeping days and/or trash

compliance with all of the conditions and restrictions set forth in this manual.

OFF SITE PARKING TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS
MOTION #3
PARKING TICKET ENFORCEMENT DATA
Current Status: Sheriffs Department writes the parking citations. The citations are left
on the vehicles and forwarded to the City's Parking Administrator for
payment processing.
Based upon review/investigation of the Sheriffs Department, if the City Council desires
to collect the data as described exactly in the motion, the officer would spend an
additional 3 to 5 minutes writing each citation. This would cause the Sheriffs
Department to fill out the additional data sheet required. Currently, the Sheriffs
Department is issuing approximately 100 citations per month. Based upon the
additional 3 to 5 minutes per citation, the recommended steps would average
approximately 8 man hours per month. This does not include the additional time to
analyze the data. As a result, there will be a decrease in the time available for
enforcement of the parking regulations, due to the filling out of the new form.
The information desired by the task force is:.. What time of day or night, what day of
week - weekday or holiday, where was the location - commercial or residential, what
part of the City was it in, what was the violation, who wrote the ticket/citation (CSO,
Sheriffs Department, Code Enforcement), was violation noted by an officer or was it
called in by a resident or other party, how many warnings were issued, what was the
action taken and when (figures by the week and by the month), did the citations increase
or decrease over a period of time..."
Options:
1) Sheriffs Recommendation Currently, the following information is written on the
citation: Time of Day; Date; Location - Address only; District (Map attached),
Violation; Who wrote the citation. Cost Estimate: Time to analyze the data.
Implementation: Sheriffs Department reviews the parking citations for the months of
October, November and December.
2) Task Force Recommendation Request the Sheriffs Department to create the
necessary additional form to gather all requested data. Cost Estimate: Additional 8
man hours per month, plus development/implementation cost. Implementation Sheriffs
Department reviews the parking citations for the months of October, November and
December.

BACKGROUND /ASSUMPTIONS
♦ The existing conditions analyses are based on current CMP counts at Diamond Bar / Grand
and the present geometric conditions.
♦ Future, long-range conditions are based on a general growth factor plus impacts of specific
future projects.
D The growth factor is one (1.0) percent per year to provide Year 2015 base volumes.
D The other specific projects included in the analyses are a list of current projects
obtained from a recent traffic study, the potential redevelopment through the
Economic Revitalization Plan, and the Easterly Industrial project in the City of
Industry.
D A potential "bypass" road was not included in the projections, but is considered as
a part of the improvements analyses.
D The effects of potential improvements to the S.R. 57 / 60 Freeways were not
necessarily addressed. Any net beneficial effects of improvements versus future
freeway traffic growth could be an added benefit to the study intersection.
NOTE: The intersection analyses reach a very high ICU value, which in reality will not
occur. Drivers are expected to begin diverting away from this intersection, as
congestion makes this a less desirable route.

POTENTIAL ISSUES
♦ Will a "problem" intersection slow the approval process for projects within Diamond Bar
(i.e. CEQA compliance)?
♦ Is the "cut -through" traffic a hindrance or help to local businesses?
♦ Should the "cut -through" traffic be "discouraged' through congestion or should efforts be
made to get this traffic through the City as quickly as possible to reduce the congestion
period?
♦ It appears that in order to fully mitigate Diamond Bar / Grand, some form of major
improvement is needed:
D Construction of the "bypass" road.
p Added major widenings of Diamond Bar / Grand well beyond the Alternative 3
concept.
p Potential grade separation of Diamond Bar / Grand.
RELATED ISSUES
♦ Shopping Center Access:
O Effects of "cut -through" traffic getting in / out of driveways.
O On-site design improvements could serve to improve access.
♦ Traffic Signal Timing:
O Cycle lengths are not overly long, but may appear to be to some of the side streets.
0 For a coordinated system, the "smaller" intersections also require the same cycle
lengths.
• i.e. If the "smaller" intersections run "free", the side streets can get a green
light more quickly, but more severe congestion on Grand would be expected.
• If queues form at the "smaller" intersections, there could be a metering effect
at Diamond Bar / Grand. Perhaps less queues at this location.
• There are / could be funding issues related to signal timing changes.
♦ Extended Turn Pockets at Intersections:
0 Potential cost factors.
0 Queue length problems and/or deceleration concern issues? Signal cycle lengths
could effect queue and deceleration issues.
0 If the extensions involve striping changes, then the modifications are much easier.

DIAMOND BAR CITY COUNCIL
TOWN HALL MEETING
NOVEMBER 7, 1998
9:00 a.m. to Noon
OFF SITE PARKING TASK FORCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
OVERVIEW
In December, 1997, the City Council established a term limited Off -Site Parking Task Force to
examine the off-site/on-street parking issues. The Task Force incorporated the opinions and
insights of representatives from different sectors of the community. From February through June
of 1998, the Task Force considered the following objectives:
♦ Identify the issues
♦ Consider the prohibition of oversized vehicles
♦ Consider the prohibition of extended parking (72 hours)
♦ Review existing laws
♦ Review surrounding cities' parking solutions/policies
♦ Recommend possible solutions for the identified problems
At the conclusion of the meetings, the Task Force forwarded its Final Report and several motions
for the City Council's consideration. The City Council received and reviewed the Task Forces
Final Report on July 21, 1998.
As directed by the City Council, staff presented a variety of options for five (5) of the motions at
the September 1, 1998, City Council Study Session. Based upon comments received at the Study
Session, staff was directed to provide expanded information on the options.
Staff has received additional information/input from the Sheriff s Department and City
Attorney's Office for the various motions and options. Also, for your reference, the September 1,
1998 City Council Study Session packet is enclosed (Attachment VII).
Motion I 1
�\ `s���
"To recommend to the City Council that enforcement should be increased,
specifically to the violations discussed within the Task Force meetings."
Issue: The level of enforcement of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and City
Municipal Code regarding the parking of vehicles.
Summarv: The Task Force focused on the level of enforcement of the existing parking
regulations by the Sheriff s Department. In 1997, 1,345 parking citations were issued.
The following are the top five 1997 cites: no current registration tabs; parking in excess of time
limit; no front plate; failure to obey parking signs; and parking in front of fire hydrant.
The current enforcement of parking is administered through the City's contract with the Los
Angeles County Sheriffs Department - Deputy Sheriffs & Community Services Officers
(CSO's). The Sheriff s Department has included the attached memo (Attachment I) on the options
discussed by the City Council and attached a job description for Deputies, CSO (Intern's) and
Parking Control Officer.
Options:
Redeployment of Community Service Officers - Currently, the City has two CSO's. Their
current work shifts are 6:00 a.m. to 2: 00 p.m. and noon to 8:00 p.m. The CSO's
responsibilities include:
39% of time spent on writing criminal reports (3 to 4 reports per shift);
26% of time spent on parking enforcement (writing tickets)
35% of time spent on miscellaneous work (assisting the sworn personnel)
The redeployment would result in an increase in parking citations; however, the
redeployment could cause a delay in response time to routine calls and could divert patrol
deputies away from their duties.
Currently write 60 citations per month (average, one CSO)
Increase 280% to 228 citations per month
No increase in expenditures
Revenue increase of $90,720 per year.
(Revenue increase is based upon an additional 168 tickets, at an average
ticket of $45.00)
Community Service Officer's Overtime - Create overtime shifts for the two CSO's to focus
on parking enforcement. The overtime shifts will be similar to the School Traffic
enforcement overtime.
Currently, a total of 11 CSO's are at the Walnut Station and 2 are assigned to Diamond
Bar. The overtime created could result in the CSO's becoming fatigued, and the ordering
of the CSO's to fill the slots, could be a problem.
The cost estimate would vary based upon the number of shifts per week and hours per
shift. An example would be five shifts per week, four over time hours per shift.
Currently write 60 citations per month (average)
Increase 140% to 144 citations issued per month
Increase in expenditures $21,500 per year
Revenue increase of $45,360 per year.
(Based upon an additional of 84 tickets, at an average ticket of $45.00)
Sheriff Parking Control Officer - The Sheriff s Department has a class specification of
Parking Control Officer, whose only duty is to enforce motor vehicle parking regulations.
The Parking Control Officer could be full-time or part-time.
The creation of a full-time position would result in an increase in the number of parking
citations by 280%.
The drawback to the Parking Control Officer is the limited job responsibility. If the
Parking Control Officer were to see a dangerous situation, he/she would only be able to
report the situation to the Sheriffs Station. He/She can not assist in traffic control, report
writing, etc.
New position
Increase of 280% to 228 citations issued per month
Increase in expenditures of $57,634/year (full time)
Revenue increase of $123,120 per year.
(Based upon 228 citations at an average ticket cost of $45.00)
Code Enforcement Officer's Citation Authority - At the September 1, 1998 Study Session,
staff presented the City Council with the option of creating citation authority for the Code
Enforcement Officer to issue parking citations. Based upon a survey of ten (10) cities
whose Code Enforcement Officer has citation authority, none of the cities authorizes the
Code Enforcement Officer to issue parking citations on public streets. In these cities, the
Code Enforcement Officer could issue parking citations on private property (i.e: vehicles
parking on lawn; inoperative vehicles; vehicles in the set back area).
2
Diamond Bar Public Service Officer - The City Council could create a classification of a
Public Service Officer. The Public Service Officer's (PSO's) duties would include, the
enforcement of all applicable parking regulations, both on public and private property.
The classification could be part-time or full-time employee.
As discussed previously, the Community Service Officer's currently spend 26% of their
time writing parking citations. A full-time or part-time Public Service Officer could
spend 100% of his/her time conducting parking enforcement.
New position
230 citations issued per month
Full-time employee would be $41,100 (does not include vehicle)
Revenue increase of $124,200 per year.
It should be noted that currently the City receives approximately $50,000 in parking fines and
that the above anticipated/projected fines will be depended upon the field conditions. In addition
the City's parking citation administrator's fees may increase.
Motion 2
"To recommend to the City Council to begin a public information campaign to raise public
awareness of existing laws; that the information would convey to the residents why these
laws are in existence; and that the City Council consider a postable insert into the next City
newsletter as an appropriate vehicle to accomplish this request."
Issue: To develop a public information/education program to educate the residents
about parking regulations.
Summary:. At the September 1, 1998 Study Session, staff presented five (5) options to
accomplish this goal. The City Council directed staff to implement all five motions which
include the following:
♦ Develop a pamphlet to be sent to all homes (City Newsletter or Windmill)
♦ Develop a Public Service Announcement (CATV)
♦ Prepare press releases to all newspapers
♦ Post information on the City on Line and the City's Internet Home Page
♦ Create an Information Hotline
The City publicized the November 7, 1998, Town Hall Meeting regarding Off -Site Parking
recommendations and Traffic Solutions.
Staff will implement a public information/education program when all the options are finalized.

Motion 3 � V) �.
"To recommend to the City Council t
hat the Sheriffs Department be instructed to enforce
the present off-site parking laws."
"To recommend to the City Council that the Sheriffs Department provide detailed
information regarding citations and include the following items: time of day or night, day
of week -weekday or holiday, location -commercial or residential, part of the City, violation,
who wrote the ticket (CSO or Deputy), violation noted by an officer or called in by a
resident or other party, how many warnings were issued, action taken and when(figures by
the week and by the month), did the citations increase or decrease over a period of time, a
hot line for the City for accountability, cost in man-hours relating to the work involved,
maps of patrolled areas and routes that were taken as they drive through the City."
Issue: To have a detail/comprehensive analysis completed on all parking citations issued
for a specific period.
S�rv_' Attached is a copy of a parking citation (Attachment II). The required data includes:
date, day, time, vehicle, location of violation, and violation. The Sheriff s Department has also
developed a check -list (Attachment III) for the additional requested information.
A survey of cities was conducted regarding the data collection. The Sheriff s Department
contacted nine (9) agencies. None of the surveyed agencies track parking citations at the level as
requested by the Task Force. Judicial Data Systems (JDS), the City's Parking Citation
Administrator, was contacted regarding the tracking of parking citations. JDS contracts with
over 100 agencies to administer parking citations. JDS does not have any agency that requests
similar additional information regarding parking citations.
The gathering of the requested information will take the Deputy or CSO's an additional three to
five minutes to fill out the form and the ticket. The additional time may i
citations the Deputy/CSO's can issue within the work shift. mpact the number of
Sheriffs Recommendation - Track the information currently on the attached citation.
Task Force Recommendation - Implement the Task Force Recommendation, prepare
copies of the check list, and distribute to all Deputies and CSO's to complete. The check-
list will be collected and analyzed by City staff.
5
Motion 5
"To recommend to the City Council to consider a dispensation/permit program for parking
unattached trailers and boats on city streets for a period of 24 hours."
Issue: To permit parking of unattached trailers and boats city streets for
loading/unloading purposes for a period of 24 hours and to assit residents who
live within a restricted parking area.
Summary: Staff presented City Council with four options. The Council requested that all four
options to be investigated.
Implement the City's Preferential Parking Program - The Diamond Bar Municipal Code,
Division 6 of Title 10 provides the authority for the City to create preferential parking
districts on appropriate streets. The Preferential Parking Program will enact parking
restrictions on certain or all streets and designate, preferential parking privileges to
residents or businesses in the area, through a permit program.
A Preferential Parking District is activated, by Ordinance, at the discretion of the City
Council, or upon receipt of a petition of a neighborhood. For example, the Diamond Bar
High School area could be designated as a Preferential Parking District. This designation
and implementation would allow residents to apply and receive annual or temporary
parking permits and be exempted from the one and two hour parking restrictions near the
High School.
Staff recommends the implementation of the Preferential Parking Program to
accommodate specific neighborhood needs.
Create an Annual and Temporary Parking Permit Program - As presented at the
September 1, 1998 Study Session, staff has developed an annual, temporary (up to five
days) and 24 hour permit program on a City wide basis. Attached is a draft Application
and Policy. (Attachment IV)
The Annual Permit would be for residents, in specific areas, where parking is restricted.
A Temporary Permit would apply for guest or a temporary situation which does not allow
the available parking area to meet the property owner/tenant's needs.
Staff recommends that the Annual and Temporary Parking Permit Program be
implemented through the Preferential Parking Program. The Preferential Parking
Program/Annual and Temporary Parking Permit Program would not be applicable to the
proposed prohibition of parking on street sweeping hours and days.
0
The creation of an -24 -Hour permit program would authorize the parking of unattached
trailers or boats for the purpose of loading or unloading. This would not be applicable to a
prohibition regarding parking during street sweeping days. The City Council has
authority to create the 24-hour permit through CVC 22507(a). Staff would recommend
the creation of the 24-hour permit program.
Create a weight, width and length limit on all residential streets - The parking of certain
oversized vehicles on City streets impairs visibility, unduly constricts driving lanes,
endangers children, and diminishes the supply of available parking spaces. The
prohibition of parking oversized vehicles on City streets advances the City's legitimate
interest in maintaining the safe flow of traffic on City streets.
Attached is a draft Ordinance (Attachment V) that creates the prohibition of parking
any vehicle over 6,000 pounds, seven feet in width, and length of more than 25 feet. The
Ordinance would not apply to commercial vehicles making deliveries or pick-ups. The
Proposed Ordinance would allow for the loading and unloading of large vehicles. The
Proposed Ordinance would make DBMC Section 10. 16.160 irrelevant_ Section 10.
16.160 is the restriction of parking commercial vehicles on certain public streets
weighing more, than 6,000 pounds between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The
DBMC Section 10. 16.490 regarding the prohibition of parking a vehicle over 6 foot high
within 100 feet of an intersection will still be applicable.
<\^(A`%
Motion 6 e 1�
"To recommend to the City Council that no parking on street sweeping days be considered
as one alternative to the problems identified."
Issue: To enhance the effectiveness of the street sweeping services by prohibiting the
parking of vehicles on street sweeping days.
Summary: All residential streets are swept bi-weekly. The City has no restrictions regarding
parking on the streets during the street sweeping days. As a result, the street sweeper must go
around the parked vehicles and miss portions of curb and gutter. The prohibition of parking on
street sweeping days will assist in meeting the City's NPDES requirement.
Street sweeping is conducted to assist in the health, safety and community aesthetics. Currently,
the City is divided into seven (7) zones, which are swept on different days. At the September 1,
1998 Study Session, the Council requested to review a draft Resolution prohibiting parking on
street sweeping days.
Attached is the draft resolution and map regarding the zones (Attachment VI). The City would
post signs at all entrances to neighborhoods and cul de sacs stating the day and hours parking is
restricted. The approximate cost to install all signs would be approximately $136,000.
In a survey of surrounding cities, the parking penalty (fine) for parking on the streets during the
posted hours averages from $35.00 to $41.00.

SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE
FROM: RICHARD J. MARTINEZ,CAPTAI
WALNUT REGIONAL STATION t*\
SUBJECT: OFF-SITE PARKING TASK FORCE
DATE: September 29,1998
FILE NO.
TO: TERRY BELANGER,
CITY MANAGER
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
The following is a response to certain questions from Council members at the workshop on September
1,1998:
1. Written "list of priorities" as requested by Council member O'Connor.
There is no specific written list, or other written guidelines or procedures that
numerically categorize the Sheriffs Department's response/position to certain law
enforcement matters. The general practice of the LASD is to focus/prioritize its
response to incidents depending upon the relative seriousness of the offense. For
example; an armed robbery in progress would take priority over a vandalism report or
a domestic violence call would take priority over a parking matter.
2. Job specifications for contract items.
See Attachment "A"
3. Number of crime reports per day by C.S.O.
An average of three to four reports were taken per day by a C.S.O.
4. Time spent on crime reports versus time spent on parking enforcement.
39% of time spent on criminal reports.
26% of time spent on parking enforcement.
35% of time spent on miscellaneous work.(assist sworn personnel re: traffic/evidence, etc.)
5. Motion 1, Option 1
We estimate a 280% increase in the number of parking citations per month by C.S.O.;
from the current average of 60 per month. Potential negative effects of redeployment
of one of the C.S.O.s to parking enforcement only would include longer response times
to routine calls for service and would divert patrol deputies away from more important
duties.
6. Motion 1, Option 2:
We estimate a 140% increase in the number of parking citations per month; from the
current monthly average of 60. A foreseeable negativr effect could be fatigue to the
limited amount of personnel available to work the overtime assignments. We currently
have eleven C.S.O. personnel assigned to the Walnut/San Dimas Station and two
currently assigned to the City of Diamond Bar.
7. Motion 1, Option 4:
We estimate a 280% increase in the number of parking citations per month; from the
current monthly average of 60. One of the potential negative effects of using the
Parking Control Officer (P.C.O.): they are not trained or equipped to handle other
duties, such as responding to routine crime report calls, etc. and, therefore, could not
be used to respond to various calls like a C.S.O., if demanded.
See Attachment "B"
8. Motion 3
We contacted nine different agencies, as small as the City of Arcadia and as large as
the City of Los Angeles, regarding the tracking of parking citations in the manner
proposed in Motion 3. None of those agencies track parking citations in any manner
whatsoever. The only way parking citations are identified is by individual citation
number. As to the request for a parking citation "check list", See Attachment "C".

MOTION #3
PARKING TICKET ENFORCEMENT DATA
Current Status: Sheriffs Department writes the parking citations. The citations are left
on the vehicles and forwarded to the City's Parking Administrator for
payment processing.
Based upon review/investigation of the Sheriffs Department, if the City Council desires
to collect the data as described exactly in the motion, the officer would spend an
additional 3 to 5 minutes writing each citation. This would cause the Sheriffs
Department to fill out the additional data sheet required. Currently, the Sheriffs
Department is issuing approximately 100 citations per month. Based upon the
additional 3 to 5 minutes per citation, the recommended steps would average
approximately 8 man hours per month. This does not include the additional time to
analyze the data. As a result, there will be a decrease in the time available for
enforcement of the parking regulations, due to the filling out of the new form.
The information desired by the task force is: .." What time of day or night, what day of
week - weekday or holiday, where was the location - commercial or residential, what
part of the City was it in, what was the violation, who wrote the ticket/citation (CSO,
Sheriffs Department, Code Enforcement), was violation noted by an officer or was it
called in by a resident or other party, how many warnings were issued, what was the
action taken and when (figures by the week and by the month), did the citations increase
or decrease over a period of time..."
