Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of the lease renewal of 23 unreserved parking spaces with REEF/Lanier Parking for employees of the District Clerk’s Office at 1019 Congress and 1401 Congress Parking Garages for the period of October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, at an approximate total cost of $22,020.
end
Background and Discussion:
The available parking spaces are limited in the Downtown Courthouse Complex and not having approval to provide these twenty-three (23) unreserved parking spaces will continue to increase the difficulty in finding secured parking for full-time personnel.
v Eight (8) unreserved parking spaces at 1019 Congress Street, Houston, TX 77002 Parking Garage are $70.00/each. The estimated monthly cost is $560 and $6,720 annually.
v Fifteen (15) unreserved parking spaces at 1401 Congress Street, Houston, TX 77002 Parking Garage are $85.00/each. The estimated monthly cost is $1,275 and $15,300 annually.
Expected Impact:
The expected cost will impact Fiscal Year 2027 General Fund 1000 approved budget.
Alternative Options:
The alternative option is not to provide paid parking to full-time personnel.
