Item No. 13-259
Date: July 22, 2013
Item/Subject: Order, Amending Management Agreement with Republic Parking System, Inc. — Downtown
Parking Enforcement
Responsible Department: Community & Economic Development
Commentary:
This order would authorize the City Manager to execute a Management Agreement between the City and
Republic Parking System, Inc. This five year Agreement would expand the scope of services Republic provides
to include the management of on -street parking enforcement in the Downtown Parking Management District.
Other terms and conditions would remain substantially the same as those of the City's current agreement with
Republic Parking, which expires in September.
As part of its new duties, Republic would be responsible for issuing citations for violations of all parking
ordinances in effect in the Downtown Parking Management District. Republic would collect and process citation
payments, pursue collection of unpaid citations, and acquire and maintain necessary equipment and software.
Republic would also continue to operate the Pickering Square Parking Garage and eleven downtown surface
lots. In return, Republic would receive an annual management fee of $12,000 and 5.5% of budgeted revenues.
Operating costs would be billed on actual costs incurred.
The City would retain a Police Department administrative position and assign it to Republic Parking. Four part-
time parking enforcement positions would be eliminated. The Business and Economic Development Committee
recommended approval of the new duties for Republic on June 25 by a 4-1 vote.
