Waukesha board approves Passport amendment to link parking-ramp ALPR cameras; $18,000 setup, $6,000 annual fee
Summary
The board approved a contract amendment to integrate ALPR cameras in two parking ramps with the Passport parking system; staff cited a one-time $18,000 engineering cost and a discounted $6,000 annual subscription to be covered from CIP funds initially.
City staff presented a contract amendment with Passport to integrate the city’s automatic license-plate-reader (ALPR) camera feed with Passport’s parking-permit and enforcement platform for two ramps. "There is an initial cost to set up the enforcement system to work with our camera system as well as a yearly maintenance fee," Brandon said, identifying an $18,000 setup fee and a discounted $6,000-per-year subscription (staff said the standard rate is $12,000).
Staff said CIP funds would cover the initial engineering and subscription costs; once Passport collects roughly six months of citation data it can estimate ongoing costs and those charges could be passed through to end users if the council chooses to do so. Brandon said the system would flag plates that leave ramps without payment and the city's parking supervisor would review flagged plates before Passport issues invoices.
Council members confirmed Passport is the police department's existing ticketing and permitting contract; one member asked what the ramp nonpayment fee would be, and staff believed the fee is $20 per occurrence. A motion to approve the amendment was moved, seconded and passed (recorded as a 3–0 vote in the transcript for this item).
