City reports monthly parking revenue and enforcement gains; compliance appears to be improving

Shannon, the city parking staff member, reported April and May parking figures and said compliance is improving after recent program changes and education. The presentation covered paid‑parking revenue, permit and overnight reservation income, and enforcement totals for the two months.

Key figures reported by staff: Shannon said “we had 991 tickets written in April. We had, almost 1,200... written in May,” and reported enforcement revenue of about $23,000 and $28,000 for those months respectively. She also said permit and overnight reservation revenue for April was “about $5,000.” The transcript includes other numeric lines that were unclear (for example revenue totals reported as "173" and "245,000" and later as "$1.73" and "$2.80"); staff figures above are presented as reported on the record and some items were ambiguous in the recording.

Shannon said the data show a compliance improvement compared with the prior year and attributed that to education and program changes including kiosk deployment. Committee members asked when the Glacier lot came online; Shannon said it opened in December after light poles were installed.

Committee questions focused on how kiosk and vendor integrations work, whether simplified pricing last year affected revenue (Shannon said no), and how many stalls exist citywide (staff said the exact stall count is available but was not recited on the record). Staff agreed to provide segmented revenue by vehicle ZIP code if possible and to investigate any ParkMobile/kiosk connectivity glitches reported by residents.

No policy or budget decision resulted from the report; the item was presented for committee information and follow‑up.
