Committee recommends $5,000 capital budget change to replace police parking meters; staff say full replacement may cost ~$5,600
Summary
Staff reported that older meter models and supporting software require replacement; the finance committee moved to recommend council approve a $5,000 capital budget change for new meters so work can proceed ahead of the winter season.
Committee members reviewed a memo describing meter-software support issues and the need to replace about 25–26 meters because the tool to service older interior meters is no longer available. Staff explained the change is driven by the software/hardware life cycle and estimated the meter replacement at roughly $5,600 for the set of needed units.
Committee member (speaker 2) moved to recommend council approve a $5,000 capital budget change for meters for the police department; another member seconded the recommendation. Chair (speaker 1) noted, “Once we, if the City Council passes it, then they'll have just enough time to get those meters by Thanksgiving,” and staff will include the change in the next council package.
