Amendment to Web-Based parking Citation System on Consent Calendar

As part of Monday’s shorter-than-usual consent calendar, the City Manager will vote to amend a contract with Data Ticket, Inc. $2,886,665.

This contract provides the City with a web-based Parking Citation and Permit Management System with real-time DMV integration, six electric vehicles with automated license plate reading hardware and software, handheld citation issuance devices, and integrates permit, citation and DMV payment information to share with parking enforcement officers in the field to maximize efficiency and minimize citations issued in error.

Data Ticket’s processing fees are dependent on the volume of citations issued, thus increasing when issuance increases. In the initial twelve-month period of the contract, from May 2020 to April 2021, the City issued 53,754 parking citations. 

In comparison to the last twelve months, from April 2023 to March 2024, the City issued 119.190 parking citations, which is an indication that parking activity has increased post-pandemic, therefore leading to increased processing and collections expenses. 

Since the implementation of the contract and the beginning of collections efforts, Data Ticket has assisted the City collect more than $3,236,476. Collection fees of 19% are applied when delinquent citations are collected, which has resulted in additional contract expenses of $614,930.
