Details
The sources read are agendas and, where posted, minutes; discussion detail is limited to what they record.
Enacted 22-0: the amendment to section 29-53 on oversized and commercial vehicles in residential, park and cemetery zones (consistent size and weight standards, specific prohibited vehicles, exceptions for deliveries, utility and municipal work and personal passenger vehicles), and the new Article IX on Automated Parking Control Systems (cameras and sensors, officer review before a citation, notice and appeal procedures, system testing, and privacy protections).
The Passport Labs agreement was taken up for committee action only (no public hearing) after a first discussion at an earlier meeting. The current ticketing vendor's agreement is about to expire, and the new system would allow electronic tickets. Because the equipment can also support towing and booting, Richard Furlow moved, with the administration's agreement, an amendment adding an effective clause that the equipment will not be used for towing or booting until it returns to the committee for approval. A second amendment, moved by a committee member, replaced the up-to-five-year term with three years at an estimated $6 million, with renewals at $110,000 a year, so the order states term and cost; terms may still be amended before second reading. Approved favorably as amended on voice votes.
First readings: Legislation items including the parking ordinances, the civil citation ordinance and the juice bar ordinance (Parking Ordinances and Automated Enforcement, Civil Citation Enforcement Ordinance, Juice Bar Event Ordinance).
Ordinances: oversized and commercial vehicle parking in residential, park or cemetery zones (sec. 29-53), a new Article IX on Automated Parking Control Systems, and a juice bar event process (sec. 14-6).
