a) ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 19-0099
b) WAIVE FORMAL BIDDING AND APPROVE
c) APPROPRIATE FUNDS
Way too many issues in one agenda item which will fundamentally change our parking meter management operations. Overall I'm in favor of any meter upgrades/policies that will collect more money. I think you need to address usage/retention of collected license plate data. Am against mid-year appropriations (our "finalized" formal budget process seems to be just a first draft). Interesting that "4G will be around for quite a while" since this is contrary to what the PPIC was told a while back.
