restriction. also i don t think we mentioned in the presentation that we re going to change the requirements to 4 percent. we re starting to prepare for new requirements we believe to be coming to us any way. we have heard some concern in the feedback if we increase blue zones but can t implement the rest of these recommendations then instead of effectively increasing the general parking supply, we re decreasing it. correct. that s something that we ll be cautious of as we develop the transmission plan for increasing the number of blue zones and as we implement it. it s not an overnight thing, we are not issuing all these new spots as of this vote, it s something you are anticipating doing and as you are doing that you will also be working with the state so we will have this multi pronged approach when the new things come in. and we will continue to bring new legislation on the board. other communities around california, moving in this direction? so when we go to th
should be paying the equal amount as everybody else. we may not be there yet but i think this is a great step in the right direction and i appreciate the thautdful comments from everyone and the thoughtful amendment in light of the low income considerations. i think it s a challenging thing to address because of the administrative feasibility but we re looking to staff to help us out with that and i appreciate the help of staff with that. thank you, director. the last point you made and mr. hale made easier, it is not an easy thing to do, to determine who is a low income person with disabilities. i understand that but i still think it s a worthwhile goal and i think since we have time to do that, i guess the rest of the amendment i would offer is that we direct staff to develop some kind, develop options for us to consider about how to make it more equitable for the low income persons with disability. so that s an amendment, julie can come up with better legal language i m
advance all of these as a body. that said, there is value in enforcement and to that end we did already shift a little bit more resource into the placard detail.. with regard to and that s something we ll monitor the effectiveness of, as carla suggested, it is very time consuming and labor intensive, but feedback we heard from people concerned about these recommendations is that you really should try to increase enforcement, to educate people about enforcement, before you do some of these other things. so i think it s a reasonable step forward. with regard to increased blue zones, two things. one is what we committed to doing is creating the equivalent to what we have for the public right of way in terms of an ad a transmission plan, a path for how we would get to an increased number of blue zones, how we would prioritize them, define them. the committee recommended we work with the mayor s office on disability on looking at how we restrict locations for blue zones which we
software, this provides a software platform that would really revolutionize my staff s ability to be effective in the functions that it has to do every day as the staff report referenced, it would eliminate a lot of the paper-based work we do including faxes and data entry. it would make our multiple spreadsheets and data bases with permit holder information actually talk to each other in a useful way, create online reporting opportunities for companies and i think relieve the administrative burden for what a lot of companies go through in order to provide weekly reports to us. it would also give us some tremendous analytical capacity with respect to the taxi fleet and it would make our field enforcement more effective so we hope to enjoy many of the benefits of this software. as you are likely to hear during comment on this item, the on board devices may not be required for the purpose of implementing the eta system, which is why we have structured the agreement to make the
it s not an overnight thing, we are not issuing all these new spots as of this vote, it s something you are anticipating doing and as you are doing that you will also be working with the state so we will have this multi pronged approach when the new things come in. and we will continue to bring new legislation on the board. other communities around california, moving in this direction? so when we go to the legislation, others are supporting this? i ll let bob take a crack at this one. there s a lot of interest in what we re doing and local governments tend to always support local control, right? on november 8, lisa foster and myself gave a presentation to the california public parking association. we were the last session on the last day and we had the place pretty much filled, that s how much interest there was. separate from that, we had the director of parking enforcement from the city of richmond come up, give us a card. people from los angeles, the point is
