Parking
Trust Fund.[1]
[Added 11-10-2011 by L.L. No. 3-2011; amended 4-14-2016 by L.L. No. 3-2016]
(1)
Statement of intent. In order to more equitably distribute the costs
associated with providing public parking to meet existing uses as
well as new development or redevelopment of downtown properties, the
Village of Skaneateles hereby establishes a Parking Trust Fund. The
Parking Trust Fund shall be dedicated to the uses established herein.
(2)
Establishment of Off-Street Parking Trust Fund. There is hereby established
the Village of Skaneateles Off-Street Parking Trust Fund (hereafter
the "Parking Trust Fund" or "Fund"), to be administered by the Board
of Trustees exclusively for off-street parking purposes, including
the acquisition of land for such purposes, by purchase or lease, and
the construction of improvements incidental to such purposes. The
Fund may also be used, in the discretion of the Trustees, for such
additional purposes as are reasonably intended to ease the shortage
of public parking in the downtown area, to include the purchase or
lease of remote lots and supporting improvements and the purchase,
lease and/or operation of shuttle buses or other equipment reasonably
related to that purpose. Expenditures from the Fund need not be confined
to the immediate downtown area so long as such expenditures are likely
to have a beneficial effect on public parking in the downtown area.
The Fund may not be used for purposes that are not reasonably related
to the establishment of public parking in the downtown area and may
not be used for enforcement activity or other municipal operations,
but may be used for ordinary maintenance of parking facilities, striping
of parking spaces, lighting, and the purchase and maintenance of new
or replacement pay stations for the Central Municipal Lot or other
public parking areas of the village.
(3)
Effective
upon the adoption of this subsection, the Village shall annually apply
10% of the gross receipts of parking pay stations and parking passes
derived in the Central Municipal Lot and Fennell Street Lot to the
parking trust fund. Also effective upon the adoption of this subsection,
the Village shall annually apply 10% of the gross receipts of parking
pay stations and parking passes derived in the Central Municipal Lot
and Fennell Street Lot to General Fund Account A8510.42 for public
restrooms. The remainder of such gross annual receipts shall hereafter
be deposited to the general fund of the Village. Funds on deposit
in the parking trust fund as of the effective date of this subsection
shall be retained and used hereafter for the purposes authorized herein.
The Village shall also be authorized to receive contributions from
other parties, either of funds or in-kind contributions of land. Additionally,
the Village may, at the annual meeting, in the discretion of the Board
of Trustees, allocate funds to the parking trust fund, which fund
shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this article.
