The County paid $7.50 per month per space for all 60 spaces. The County paid for at least 22 spaces which were not used during the time period of the report. At this rate, the County is wasting approximately $2,000 per year. Response (General Services): The Department disagrees in part with this finding. The County’s motivation for renting the parking spaces from the City was to help resolve the City’s concern regarding street parking for retail businesses in the downtown area, particularly within the area defined by Stephenson and Standley Streets to the south and north, and Main and Oak Streets to the east and west. The County is aware of the apparent underutilization of the parking spaces it pays rent for, and is working with the City, County Department Heads, and the Court Administrator to ensure that the parking spaces are fully utilized. If it is ultimately determined that the County and Courts could make do with fewer spaces, the County will work with the City to identify some number of spaces for use by Library patrons. In the meantime, it is our understanding that the City is contemplating restriping Lot C in order to increase the overall parking capacity. Response (Board of Supervisors): The Board agrees with the response provided by the Director of General Services. Response (Ukiah City Council): No legal response received by deadline.

Two street parking spaces are dedicated for Library patrons. No spaces in Lot C are dedicated for Library patrons.
