City of Glendale Page 7 Printed on 5/9/2016 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final April 12,2016 A motion was made by Councilmember Chavira,seconded by Vice Mayor Hugh, that this agenda item be approved.The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 7- Mayor Weiers, Vice Mayor Hugh, Councilmember Aldama, Councilmember Chavira, Councilmember Malnar, Councilmember Tolmachoff, and Councilmember Turner 24. 16-129 ORDINANCE 2984: CITY CODE CHAPTER 24 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT RELATING TO PARKING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY Staff Contact: Jack Friedline, Director, Public Works ORDINANCE NO. 2984 NEW SERIES, WAS READ BY NUMBER AND TITLE ONLY, IT BEING AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AMENDING GLENDALE CITY CODE CHAPTER 24(MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC), ARTICLE IV (SPECIFIC PARKING PROHIBITIONS), SECTION 24-53 RELATING TO PARKING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY. Mr. Friedline said this is a request for approval of an Ordinance amending the Chapter 24 of the City Code concerning parking on public property. Currently, only front in parking is allowed at some city facilities, and this prohibits back in parking. He said studies show no significant difference between front in and back in parking. He said staff recommends revising the Ordinance to allow backing up into 90 degree angle parking while leaving the restriction in place for diagonal parking. There are minimal expenditures for this item and those costs would include removing signs located at City Hall, Bank of America Building and Thunderbird Park. Councilmember Turner said he has parked both head in and back in. There might be damage to walls or parking structures when back into a parking space. He spoke about license plates required only on the back of vehicles and the plates cannot be easily read by the police. He said taillights and backup lights are on the vehicle to give the public a warning the vehicle will be backing up. He mentioned several safety issues for vehicles backing into parking spots. He also spoke about the cost of mounting a backup camera on a vehicle for safety reasons. He feels the city is losing safety by allowing back in parking. Councilmember Malnar asked what parking locations would be affected by this item. Mr. Friedline said only the City Hall Building; the Bank of America parking garage and the parking area near Thunderbird Paseo Park would be affected by this Ordinance. Councilmember Malnar said removing the restriction would allow patrons to back in or park front in at these locations. Mr. Friedline said patrons would be able to park either way. Councilmember Aldama asked for clarification where this parking change would occur. Mr. Friedline said the front end only restriction would be lifted at the City Hall garage, the Bank of America garage and Thunderbird Paseo Park. Councilmember Aldama asked in the entire city, if those were the only places patrons couldn't back in park. Mr. Friedline said those are the only places where back in restrictions are in place. Councilmember Aldama said everywhere else patrons can choose to back in. City of Glendale Page 8 Printed on 5/9/2018 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final April 12,2016 Mr. Friedline said that was correct. Councilmember Aldama asked how this served the residents of Glendale. Mr. Friedline said this item was first brought up as a Council Item of Special Interest and was primarily focused on the City Hall garage. He said Transportation staff could not come up with any differences in damages or danger in backing into a parking space. He explained those who felt comfortable backing in, probably would, but most people will still park front end in. He said the Police Department did not have a preference for parking at these locations. Councilmember Aldama asked if this item went to any of the boards and commissions. Mr. Friedline said this did not go to a board or commission. Councilmember Aldama asked if vehicles that back out are safer than those that pull out front first. Mr. Friedline said Transportation staff made no mention of which backing out choice was safer. Vice Mayor Hugh said he backs into his own driveway because he feels it is much safer after doing his own research. He said patrons should have the choice to do what they feel is safer. Mayor Weiers said Councilmember Turner had valid points. He said almost every car today runs with the headlights on and he is not sure if tail lights are brighter than headlights. He said if a driver is pulling out, the driver is able to see oncoming traffic better. He said UPS and FedEx companies encourage their drivers to back into parking spaces because it is safer. He said this has been researched and can be found on the internet. If these large, successful companies expect their drivers to back in whenever possible, it should be a good indication that practice is safer. He said if a vehicle is backed in, it encourages police officers to get out of their cars and do more investigative research on license plates. He supports this item and feels it is safer. He said this would be worth trying. Councilmember Turner asked if the Ordinance applies to all publicly owned property with parking, and it does not specifically reference any parking garages or locations. Mr. Bailey said the way the Ordinance is written has to do with publicly owned property, and will not apply to private parking. It applies to libraries and parks, wherever there is publicly owned property. Councilmember Turner said then it isn't just a couple of locations. He suggested those concerned should be aware of the blind spot and use a backup camera. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked how they would identify a car that pulled through into an adjoining parking space rather than backed in. She explained sometimes pulling forward through to a space so the vehicle faces out is easier. Mr. Friedline said he didn't think that determination could be made. He said everyone knows the backing in prohibition is not enforced. City of Glendale Page 9 Printed on 5/9/2016 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final April 12,2016 Councilmember Tolmachoff said someone could be cited for backing in, when they pulled through. Mr. Bailey said there is a challenge in the situation presented by Councilmember Tolmachoff. He said it may appear a person backed in and that is why this becomes very difficult in large parking areas, except when there is a curb so a vehicle could not pull all the way through. He said enforcement would depend on how the parking lot was marked. Councilmember Malnar said it is even more important to pass this Ordinance because the public would not be happy at all that they could not back into a parking space. He believed there are safety advantages to passing this Ordinance. Councilmember Aldama said he trusted guidance from staff and said if there was more information from staff he could probably support this item. He said he did not know what brought this issue up and would have liked to see input from a board or commission. A motion was made by Councilmember Malnar,seconded by Councilmember Tolmachoff,that this agenda item be approved.The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 4- Mayor Weiers, Vice Mayor Hugh, Councilmember Malnar, and Councilmember Tolmachoff Nay: 3- Councilmember Aldama, Councilmember Chavira, and Councilmember Turner REQUEST FOR FUTURE WORKSHOP AND EXECUTIVE SESSION A motion was made by Vice Mayor Hugh,seconded by Councilmember Turner,to hold a Special Budget Workshop on Tuesday,April 19,2016 at 9:00 a.m.in the City Council Chambers. It was further moved to vacate the next regularly scheduled City Council Workshop on Tuesday,April 19,2016 at 1:30 p.m.in the City Council Chambers to be followed by an Executive Session pursuant to A.R.S. 38-431.03. It was finally moved to hold a Special Budget Workshop on Thursday, April 21,2016 at 9:00 a.m.in the City Council Chambers.The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 7- Mayor Weiers, Vice Mayor Hugh, Councilmember Aldama, Councilmember Chavira, Councilmember Malnar, Councilmember Tolmachoff, and Councilmember Turner COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS Councilmember Aldama said he was happy to hear the Police and Fire Chiefs were guiding their employees in serving the city. He also thanked staff and looked forward to hearing more about the compensation study that was recently completed. Councilmember Aldama also thanked Superintendent Camperstan from the Glendale Union High School District for his work educating children. He said he hoped Emma Torres would come back and serve the community. He also invited all Glendale children and their families to join him at the Second Annual Hook a Kid on Fishing event. He partnered with Arizona Game & Fish Department to stock the lake at Bonsall Park and Cabela's, who will be giving away a free fishing pole to a child every hour during the event. He said private funds were raised to give away free fishing licenses to children ages 10 to 17. The event will be held April 16, 2016 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Bonsall Park, 59th Avenue and Bethany Home. City of Glendale Page 10 Printed on 5/9/2016 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final April 12,2016 Councilmember Chavira thanked the audience members who came out for the meeting to support Heroes Park. He said the Council is working very hard on this issue. He reminded everyone to be nice. Councilmember Tolmachoff thanked the Sierra Verde 4th Grade for visiting City Hall last week, and said she could not have done it without the help of numerous city staff members. She said the kids enjoyed themselves. She thanked the Police Department and CAT Team, and Shred-It for donating trucks for the shred event that was held last Saturday. She said over 5,000 pounds of materials were shredded and the citizens were very happy. Councilmember Turner thanked the residents who came out and spoke about neighborhood development and Heroes Park. The Council is doing the best they can. He congratulated the residents who are graduating from Glendale University tomorrow night. He said it is a great program to learn more about the city from the inside. Vice Mayor Hugh said the Cactus District meeting last week was very successful and 150 people attended. He thanked the Parks Department staff for setting it up. He said a special drum line came out and performed. Mayor Weiers said Vice Mayor Hugh's event was very successful, and so was Councilmember Tolmachoff's shred event. He said Heroes Park is on the Council's mind and they want to get it done. The archery park is on its way to completion. He said the library is not a trailer and is much more modern than most people think. He said they are also addressing the- parking issues. He encouraged citizens to call their Councilmember or the Mayor's Office to answer any questions.
