Requested Action: Order
Title Order
Appointing Constables for the Year 2018 - Republic Parking
Summary
Map/Lot: N/A
The City of Bangor is set to implement a new parking enforcement system for the Downtown Parking
Management District. The new enforcement process will consist of a vehicle with cameras that are
equipped with license plate recognition (LPR) technology. As the car patrols the Downtown Parking
Management District, the system will notify the driver of a potential violation. The driver will then
determine if there is, in fact, a violation and decide whether a ticket is warranted or not.
The City has contracted with Republic Parking to provide management services for the new on street
parking enforcement. We have had a positive relationship with Republic Parking for years as they
have managed our off-street parking. Additionally, they manage dozens of other LPR systems in
various cities throughout the United States so this seemed like a natural fit.
State law states that an LPR system may use only information entered by a law enforcement officer.
It also states that constables are considered law enforcement officers. City ordinance allows the
Bangor City Council to appoint constables.
Staff recommends that the City Council appoint Republic Parking employees Parke Clemons and
Maurita Anthony as constables to act on behalf of the City while enforcing parking regulations.
