On the flip side, this w eekend ....

Someone from Ca rrigg's at Machine 9 is not happy w ith the machines. They put a note that says something like "no he lp
available". I guess someone went int o the store to ask fo r help and d idn't see an ambassado r.
Ambassador went in t o Carriggs and talked to t hem today.
The unhappy groups I'm aware of are Carrigg's, the coffee shop on south side around machine 7, and little w omen's
clothing shop in front of machine 2 (one block down from the park).

Regarding the meeting. I have a couple of things :

1) I think the parking kiosks are somewhat working, although something's need to be tweaked.
>They are too big
>Some need to be moved as they are directly in front of businesses front doors, and others are not very well
positioned in general
> I talked to one of the 'Ambassadors' today, and suggested that he talk to the businesses and inform them
of how they work, so that we can help our clients. They really are pretty easy to use. I opened an account on
my phone on the Parkmobile app, and now can add a customers car if I would like to pay for their parking for
them. It is a way that we as business owners can give a small token to our customers and be able to track it
for our expenses and taxes.
2) At first I didn't like the issue of license plates as a way to track the spaces. Although I personally think
1

people should be able to remember their own license plate number, I don't think anyone remembers their
rental cars plate. But, the license plate number is on the key chain of every rental car! For this reason, I don't
mind the license plates being used.
Have a great weekend, and maybe I will see you at the tree lighting, IF it's not raining!!!

Dear Steve,
Hi Steve,
Mike and Nick are CCed on this email along with your two Sales reps Carmen and Claire. Before we can migrate you , Mike has to
accept the new terms & conditions first. Carmen will be meeting with you next week to discuss this. Once that has been done then Mike
has to login to IRIS, click Settings> Request Migration, enter a contact email address to be used for migration status updates and
click Upgrade to submit the migration request. I will contact you to setup a day during the work week (Mon - Fri 1am PST) for the

Hi Steve
This is just a follow up from my visit last week.
It was nice to meet you guys, but disappointing that we could not get the machines installed and operational due to the
site prep status.
Keep us posted on your progress and if we can assist in any way or answer any questions.
Attached to this email are the "Coupon Templates" for importing your coupons to EMS/Iris .
I suggest you practice with a few small, sample imports, to get the hang of the setup format required.
Regarding IRIS Migration, please contact
patrick.graham@digitalpaytech.com when you are ready to Migrate Fully to the IRIS System.
Please provide Patrick with some advance notice as he will need to fit you into his migration schedule workload.
Your project manager Ryan Baker is copied on this email and is available to assist where needed once the pads are
ready.

FW : Carmel Machines

The controversy has started and I'm in PR mode quietly trying to rein in the outspoken. Through Face book I'm seeing
disco ntent w ith the machines. It seems Pepe fee ls the machines are out of character. I would suggest looking into
wooden enclosu res or something. I'm also dea ling with some other outspoken residents whose voices can carry far if I
don't present the actual facts so I'm doing that too ... see below.

Subject: Carmel Machines

Hi Pepe,
I saw Sherry DeDampierre face book and the responses to her frustration with the machines. I think your frustration is
the way they look? I agree they probably should be covered with a wooden enclosure and I know that's something the
city will most likely due in the next few months. But I hope you understand and agree with the concept of controlling the
parking inventory to best meet the needs of the community. Your voice is important and influential and as this program
is rolled out its important misinformation is not passed along. Steve.
Sherry,
The City of Carmel has a parking distribution problem . There is too much congestion in the heart of down town (Ocean
Ave.) and most of the parkers are the staff of the businesses. Some restaurants have 50 people a shift working. When
they park on Ocean Avenue they are taking away an important spot for a someone who wants to spend money in the
village. When tourists and locals come to town they want a pleasant experience where parking is easy to find and where
they can quickly get out of their car and visit the stores/restaurants etc. A better experience leads to positive publicity
and higher spend rates in the businesses.
There were a number of public meetings and workshops held for the public and from those the residents and business
owners said they wanted AMEX to be accepted and an incremental pay system. The incremental pay system allows a
person to pay for each 15 minutes instead of the full hour. The city listened and we've programmed the machines to
accept AMEX and its set up for incremental payment. Additionally, the city is leaving every green corner 20 min spot
open.
Side note: I went to the town of Willow Glen last week and I became very upset with the downtown because I couldn't
find parking. The parking was all free, I drove around street after street in search of an empty spot. As a tourist to the
area I expected to pay some nominal fee for parking and I was there to spend money at a restaurant. If I could have
1

pulled right up to a spot my feelings about this nice little area would be different today. Instead I'm frustrated and don't
really want to go back there. I watch this same situation happen all the time in Carmel. People driving in circles is
maddening. It produces more traffic congestion and its bad for the environment.
The new parking program is not a money grab as some suggest. It's an inventory management control system to
improve vehicle flow. To help the workers of the stores, the city has turned off the machines at the Sunset Center North
Lot off. This produces 130 free parking spots just 2 blocks off Ocean Avenue . There is also free parking at the Vista
Lobos parking lot just above the police station.
Since 2005 Carmel has had similar looking machines in place at the Sunset Center North Lot and the Tour Bus Zone on
Junipero next to the Carmel Plaza and no one has made an issue of them . It's in the plan if the program continues for
the city to probably design a beautiful wooden enclosure for these new machines. Right now it's a pilot program and
everything is a work in progress.

My suggestion would to be to just add the trial meters to the EMS account. Then we can board them on Iris to be able
to log into it and see Iris in all it's glory.
This would allow them to be migrated in the as a whole in the future (or during the trial).

For IRIS, yes we need the Ts and Cs done.

If you want the current units on IRIS too then we probably need to get Patrick in the loop to kick off the boarding and
migration process, or do you want to run the trial units on a separate instance of EMS/IRIS?
If you go down that route be aware they won't be able to merger data later.

collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Accordingly if any rental
payment hereunder is not received by LESSOR from LESSEE within ten (1 0) days from
the date it becomes due, LESSEE shall immediately pay to LESSOR, without prior notice
or demand, a late charge of five percent (5%) of the then-gross monthly rental. LESSOR
and LESSEE agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and
expenses and is fair compensation to LESSOR for its losses sustained by reason of
LESSEE's failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for the
payment of a late charge be deemed to grant to LESSEE a grace period or extension of
time within which to pay any rental due hereunder or prevent LESSOR from exercising
any right or remedy available to LESSOR upon LESSEE's failure to pay such rental
when due, including the right to terminate this Lease.
3.3
If any rental remains delinquent for a period in excess of thirty (30) days,
then, in addition to the late charge provided hereinabove, LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR
interest on any rental that is not paid when due at the lesser ofeighteen percent (18%) per

thirtieth (30th) day following the date such amount became due, until paid.

on an occurrence basis, such policy with the coverage required herein shall continue in

Each insurance policy shall prov~de an endorsement naming CITY, its officers, agents,
employees and volunteers as Additional Insured and shall further provide that such

The failure by LESSEE to make any payment of rent or any other

payment required to by made by LESSEE hereunder, as and when

after written notice thereof from LESSSOR to LESSEE. In the

event that LESSOR serves LESSEE with a Notice to Pay Rent or
Quit pursuant to applicable unlawful detainer statues, such Notice
to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by this
subparagraph.
c.

12.

The failure by LESSEE to observe or perform any of the covenants,

conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed
by LESSEE, other than described in subparagraph b. above, where
such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof from LESSOR to LESSEE; provided,
however, that ifthe nature of LESSEE's default is such that more
than thirty (30) days is reasonably required for its cure, then
LESSEE shall not be deemed to be in default if LESSEE
commences such cure within said thirty-(30)-day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

No Waiver Implied.

12.1 The continuation by LESSOR of the tenancy of the LESSEE following a

breach of the terms hereofby LESSEE shall in no event be considered a waiver by
LESSOR of any subsequent breach by LESSEE or of the benefits of any of the provisions
thereof or in any way subject LESSOR to legal disability.
13.

Eminent Domain.

13.1 If any part of the premises shall be taken or condemned for a public or
quasi-public use, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of occupation hereunder,
LESSOR shall have the sole option to terminate this Lease as pertaining to the entire
Premises as of the date when title to the part so condemned vests in the condemnor, but
this Lease shall as to the parts so take, continue in full force and effect except that the
rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so that LESSEE shall be required to pay for the
remainder of the term only such portion of such rent as the value of the part remaining
after condemnation bears to the value of the entire Premises at the date of condemnation.
If the entire Premises is taken or condemned, or if such part thereof be taken or
condemned which renders, in the reasonable judgment of both LESSOR and LESSEE,
that portion of the Premises remaining unusable for the uses herein described, this Lease

or condemned, all compensation to be awarded upon such condemnation or taking shall
be paid to LESSOR

Audit.

14.1 On January 1 and July 1 of each year during the term of this Lease or any
renewal or extension hereof, a representative from LESSOR and a representative from
LESSEE shall meet for an audit and review of the parking operation at the request of

LESSOR. Any adjustments to the monthly rental shall be paid within thirty (30) days
from the completion of the audit.
14.2 In addition, within ten (10) days after the end of each Lease-year,
commencing with 1 January 2005 and ending with the tenth (lOth) day of the month
following the last month of the Lease term, LESSEE shall furnish LESSOR with a
statement to be certified as correct by LESSEE or the employee of LESSEE authorized so
to certify, which sets forth LESSEE's gross parking revenue for the year just concluded.
With each annual statement, LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR the amount of any additional
percentage rent which is payable to LESSOR, considering any installments of percentage
rent paid by LESSEE to LESSOR during the previous Lease-year or partial Lease-year,
as appropriate. If the annual statement shows that during the previous Lease-year,
LESSEE paid more percentage rent than it was obligated to pay under the terms of this
Lease, the amount of such overpayment shall be applied to the next installment or
installments of minimum rent due or, if such overpayment was in the last year of the
Lease term, LESSOR shall refund to LESSEE the full amount of such overpayment
within thirty (30) days of LESSOR's receipt ofthe statement.
Once with respect to each Lease-Year, and within three (3) years after its end, whether
during or after the term of this Lease, LESSOR may cause an audit of LESSEE's
business by an independent accountant of LESSOR's own selection, and if LESSEE's
annual statement for such Lease-year is found to be more than two percent (2%) less than
the amount of LESSEE's actual gross parking revenue for the period covered by such
statement, LESSEE shall immediately pay the cost of such audit as well as any additional
percentage rent shown to be payable by LESSEE, together with interest thereon from the
original due date at the default rate specified in Paragraph 12 hereof; otherwise, the cost
of such an audit shall be paid by LESSOR. If LESSEE fails to provide to LESSOR any
annual statements at the time and in the manner herein specified, such failure shall
constitute a default under this Lease and LESSOR shall have the right, in addition to any
other rights or remedies it might have hereunder: 1) to require LESSEE to pay an
administrative fee of five percent (5%) of the minimum monthly rent set forth in
Paragraph 3 hereof for each such default: and 2) to conduct an audit to determine such
revenues, and LESSEE shall immediately reimburse LESSOR for the cost of such audit
upon written demand by LESSOR. If any annual statement is found to be more than six
percent (6%) less than the amount of LESSEE's gross revenue shown by such audit, such
understatement shall be deemed willful and LESSOR may terminate this Lease upon
written notice given at any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the audit by
LESSOR. If at any time LESSEE causes an audit of LESSEE's business at Premises to
be made by an independent accountant, LESSEE shall furnish LESSOR a copy of the
report of such audit at no cost to LESSOR within ten (10) days from LESSEE's receipt of
such audit report.
14.3 The acceptance by LESSOR of any monies paid to LESSOR by LESSEE
as percentage rent for Premises as shown by any annual statement furnished by LESSEE
shall not be an admission of the accuracy of such statement, or of the sufficiency of the
amount of percentage rent payments, but LESSOR shall be entitled at any time within

three (3) years from the end of the Lease-year for which any such percentage rent
payments have been made to question the sufficiency of the amount paid and/or the
accuracy of the statement or statements furnished by LESSEE to justify the amount.
LESSEE shall, for each period of three (3) years, including the three (3) years, following
the end of the term of this Lease, keep safe and intact all of the records, books, and
accounts relevant to the gross parking revenue generated on Premises and shall, upon
request, make such records available to LESSOR, LESSOR's auditor, representative or
agent for examination at any reasonable time during such period.
14.4 LESSEE shall keep full and detailed accounts and exercise such controls
as may be necessary for proper financial management under this Agreement; the
accounting and control systems shall be satisfactory to LESSOR. LESSOR and
LESSOR' s auditor shall be afforded access to LESSEE's records, books, correspondence
and other data relating to this Agreement. LESSEE shall preserve these records, books,
correspondence and other data relating to this Agreement for a period of three (3) years
after final payment, or for such longer period as may be required by law. In addition,
LESSEE agrees to make said records, books, correspondence and other data relating to
this Agreement available to LESSOR as LESSOR's principal place of business upon 72
hours written notice.

additions to Premises as LESSOR may deem necessary or desirable. During the last one

mortgage or hypothecate this Lease, or any interest in this Lease, nor permit the use of
Premises by any person or persons other than LESSEE, nor sublet Premises or any part
thereof. However, in the event that LESSEE desires to sell, transfer, assign, sublet,
mortgage or hypothecate this Lease or any interest therein, the parties hereto agree that it
shall be reasonable for LESSOR' s consent thereto, if any, to be predicated, in part, upon
the financial and professional qualifications of the proposed successor in interest as well
as the proposed successor's willingness to pay additional rent in an amount then
designated by LESSOR to be the then-fair market rental for similar space in the vicinity
of Premises and it shall be reasonable that such consent shall be subject to a document
preparation fee of not less than one thousand dollars ($1 ,000). Consent to any of the
aforementioned acts shall not operate as a waiver of LESSOR's right to terminate this
Lease in the event of a sale, transfer, assignment or sublease of Premises.
18.

Hold-Over Tenant.

18.1 It is covenanted that there shall be no renewal of this Lease, except upon
execution of a written agreement, and the fact that LESSEE may continue in possession
of Premises without the written consent of LESSOR, shall not operate to renew this
Lease. If LESSEE should hold over after the expiration ofthe term hereof without the
written consent of LESSOR, LESSEE shall be deemed to be a tenant at sufferance. This
provision for hold-over tenancy is not to be construed as limiting the rights or remedies
otherwise available to LESSOR to remove LESSEE, or to limit the rights of LESSOR or
LESSEE to resolve any dispute relating to rental for any option period. In the event of a
holdover, the rent will be the then-current base rent plus five hundred dollars ($500) per
month.
19.

Capital Improvements.

either party shall be negotiated in good faith at the time of any renewal date of this Lease
