County approves cashless upgrade for downtown parking garage and a new fee
Summary
The Tippecanoe County Council approved a cashless upgrade for the downtown parking garage managed by Link Management and agreed to a standard parking fee (transcript reference: $24.07); the system will allow passes for businesses and remote gate control for events.
Tippecanoe County approved an upgrade to make the downtown parking garage a cashless facility and accepted a standard fee structure that council members described in the meeting as $24.07. "This is to upgrade the parking garage and we're going to a cashless facility," Paula said during the presentation.
Officials said the upgrade requires new hardware and software and will be managed by Link Management, which will provide 24-hour remote service for gate issues. The system will also allow restaurants and other businesses to issue passes or temporary free-hour promotions and can be remotely opened for community events such as the Fourth of July celebration or an arts fair.
A county representative described the new structure as a revenue-positive change and said the upgrades are expected to pay for themselves with increased efficiency and revenue.
The council approved the appropriation to purchase the equipment and implement the system by voice vote.
