The York City parking bureau told the budget hearing it expects modest revenue increases tied to longer operational hours and changes in a county contract, and that several structural repairs to city garages have been rescheduled to spring 2026.

Patrell Barnes and budget staff said transit-parking revenue is projected to be higher, reflecting extended operational hours and the approaching March 31 contract expiration for an outside drawer-parking agreement with the county. The bureau reported an increased $125,000 transit-parking projection tied to the change in hours and contract timing.

On expenses, staff said other contractual services rose modestly to reflect a new automated notification system and hosting charges for an upgrade; salary increases reflect a prior omission of PEO (parking-enforcement officer) costs that were consolidated into the parking bureau cost center for cleaner presentation.

Capital projects: structural and systems work planned for the King, Market and Philadelphia Street garages (concrete, electrical and plumbing upgrades) was reduced in the 2026 schedule and phased to begin in spring 2026, lowering immediate capital spending and spreading work across fiscal periods.

Permits and operations: staff clarified permit types for residential blocks near the college and for core/noncore meter districts, and confirmed no material change to residential-permit policy aside from annual fee and operational updates.

Ending: Budget staff said they will update specific capital timelines and parking revenue projections in the draft budget and supply any needed details on permit categories and residential districts.
