MAP board reviews parking-policy work, striping RFP, porta-potty vendor change and LPR rollout
Summary
Board members reviewed RPP mapping and onboarding policy next steps, asked staff to research a conditional use permit for new parking lots, and heard staff updates on a city-wide striping RFP, a lower-cost porta-potty vendor for BAR, and delivery of a second vehicle for a license-plate-reader (parking enforcement only).
At its June 24 meeting the Manitou Springs Mobility and Parking Board discussed several policy and operational items: an RPP awareness effort, an onboarding policy the board plans to take up next month, council direction to research conditional use permitting for new parking lots, and multiple staff procurement updates.
City Council liaison Nate said council had asked staff to research whether a conditional use permit should be required for any new parking lot; direction to staff was to provide additional research on the concept. Board members said they appreciated MAP’s previous input on related restroom/parking-lot proposals.
On internal policy, the chair requested the amended onboarding policy/manual be placed in the next meeting packet so the board could move toward a formal vote on standard operating procedures. For RPPs, staff (Felipe) said an interactive, color-coded online map of the nine RPP zones will show permit and guest-pass counts and other zone statistics to improve transparency before any proposal to change RPP rules.
In staff procurement updates, staff said a city-wide striping RFP closed July 3 and the winning contractor will be selected for a potential four-year contract (first two years locked). The city switched porta‑potty vendors for the BAR lot to JP Services, which staff said will reduce costs by roughly two-thirds compared with the previous contract. Staff also said a Subaru Solterra is being delivered to house a second license‑plate‑reader system intended for residential parking enforcement; staff emphasized the LPR will be used for parking enforcement only.
Board members asked staff to ensure Sunshine Act compliance for any repeated meetings or working groups and to follow up on the conditional‑use research and the onboarding policy packet for the next meeting.
