Agenda item 608-2026 (Transportation): staff presentation. The agenda's fiscal note says there is no implementation cost to the City, with citation fees covering a revenue-share contract and Passport processing at $4.90 per citation; its example of 50 units yields about $158,775 a year in net revenue. The cost-share percentage would be set in contract negotiations.
