   1.   City of Vancouver Parking Policy       File:  5650/5653-2/5654

        Before Council were two Administrative Reports, both dated  June 7,
   1995, as follows:

        (i)  Operation of City-owned Off-Street Parking Facilities

        (ii) On-Street Parking Control Equipment

        Also  before Council was  a memorandum dated July  6, 1995 from Mr.
   Brent  MacGregor, Deputy  City Engineer,  responding  to recommendations
   submitted by the Parking Corporation of Vancouver.

        Mr.  Brent MacGregor,  Deputy City  Engineer, briefly  reviewed the
   recommendations contained in the two  Administrative Reports, as well as
   those contained in his memorandum dated July 6, 1995.

        Mr.   Brian  Lees,   President  and   Managing   Director,  Parking
   Corporation  of  Vancouver,  advised  Council  the  Parking  Corporation
   supports  the  recommendations  contained   in  the  two  Administrative
   Reports, but  has submitted additional  recommendations in an  effort to
   raise the  standards of public service on City facilities and  raise net
   revenues,  accountability   and  future  utility  of   the  parking  for
   transportation demand management.   Mr. Lees also  encouraged Council to
   adopt  the   Parking   Corporation's  recommendations   concerning   the


   consolidation  of City-owned parking  stalls currently remaining outside
   the  operation of  the  Parking Corporation.    Alternatively, Mr.  Lees
   suggested Council  consider regulating the rates  and business practices
   of  private operators of City  parking facilities in  order to eliminate
   the advantage they currently hold over the Parking Corporation.

   MOVED by Cllr. Kennedy,
        THAT  the  recommendation of  the  General  Manager of  Engineering
   Services,  as contained in the Administrative Report dated June 7, 1995,
   entitled "Operation of  City Owned Off-Street  Parking Facilities",  and
   quoted below, be approved:

        THAT  Council  authorize the  General  Manager  of Engineering
        Services and the Director  of Legal Services to enter  into an
        updated operating agreement for the City's  off-street parking
        facilities consolidating, where possible, those facilities now
        operated by the Parking Corporation of Vancouver.

             best  value  for the  citizens  of the  City.   Currently
             electronic parking meters provide the best value with the
             potential for future use of debit card technologies.

        B.   THAT  the  General  Manager  of  Engineering  Services in
             consultation with the Director of Permits & Licenses  and
             Director of  Finance  evaluate  the  options  for  an  In

        C.   THAT  consultant be retained to assist staff in reviewing
             the security of Vancouver's parking meter operations  and

        In  an  Administrative  Report dated  June  16,  1995, the  General
   Manager of  Engineering Services,  in  consultation with  the  Associate
   Director of Planning -  Central Area and  Director - Office of  Cultural
   Affairs,  requested  Council's  approval  to  proceed  with  public  art
   selected  for  the  Davie  Street  end,  as  the  work  is  a  different
   interpretation of the  concept identified  for Davie Street  end in  the
   approved design guidelines, and encroaches into the view corridor.

        The General Manager of Engineering Services submitted the following
   for consideration:

             selected  for Davie  Street in  Roundhouse Neighbourhood,

        B.   THAT staff instruct  the developer to  prepare a  revised
             Davie  Street  end  and adjacent  shoreline  design which
             references the art  work and addresses  any urban  design
             concerns resulting from its installation.

                                      OR

             pergola, and confirm current views and  walkway policies,
             acknowledging that this will  preclude the current public
