body
Summary
Summary
Per section 7.b of the Judicial Council’s Court Public Parking Management Policy, which became effective August 21, 2015, the council will consider and act on any parking-related issue based on recommendations made by council staff. Real Estate and Facilities Management staff proposes a parking rate increase across the parking contract, and a transition from free to paid parking at the Superior Court of Orange County’s Harbor Justice Center. The branch facility management program will benefit from these approvals in the form of collection of an estimated $194,000 ($388,000 revenue times an average 50% efficiency return rate) from the rate increase and $204,000 from the Harbor Justice Center annually, with this revenue then being directly available for statewide facility operations and maintenance. The funding is required for continued operation and maintenance of the branch facility portfolio of over 500 facilities in excess of 20 million square feet.
