1. Rate at transaction closing date for Oakland Zone 4 reflects an average rate based on 260 spaces at $0.50 / hour and 176 spaces in Schenley Plaza at $1.00 / hr for the first 4 hours and $2.00 / hr for each additional hour thereafter.
(c) Assuming an average rate of inflation, no rate increases will be required by this transaction until January 1, 2017. For the life of any debt associated with this transaction, the board of the Authority will increase rates so as to comply with all bond covenants. If no rate adjustment ordinance is so adopted, then the rates for the immediately preceding period shall remain in effect.
