  • What: Amend the agreement with Modaxo Traffic Management Inc. for parking citation system software, hardware and related services, extending the term, not to exceed $5,279,143 over the amended term (up to March 31, 2028), including authority to pay up to $1,347,328 in outstanding invoices, and waiving the competitive multi-step solicitation (Finance Department, file 27-0122).
  • Where it stands: Council adopted the resolution on the October 20 consent calendar (item S6.22) with a supplemental version dated October 15.
  • Open question: At committee on October 13 the recommendation was amended to a shorter extension to June 30, 2027 on the same terms, with direction to return to Council as soon as possible with other vendor options, privacy protections to avoid collecting data, and payment of the outstanding invoice. The October 20 minutes list the original title (March 31, 2028; $5,279,143) and do not say whether those amendments were carried into the adopted text. Check the October 15 supplemental legislation.

2026-10-20 City Council

Adopted on the consent calendar (item S6.22) as an urgency-added item with supplemental legislation.

2026-10-13 Finance & Management Committee

Committee amended the staff recommendation (extension to June 30, 2027, vendor options to come back to Council, privacy protections against data collection, pay the outstanding invoice) and forwarded it, 3 to 0.

  • At the committee, staff described the extension as a bridge to an RFP planned for November, with options back in December or January. Members objected to the vendor's 30% collection fee and raised license plate data privacy; the term was shortened to June 30, 2027. Parking revenue supported is about $29.7 million.
