6. PARKING PERMIT MANAGEMENT AND CITATION PROCESSING
SERVICES
The Tustin Police Department is committed to a partnership with our business
and residential community to provide the highest level of service based on trust
and transparency. The Tustin Police Department solicited proposals from
qualified vendors to provide a parking management system that encompasses
the City's preferential permit parking and citation management program and
integrates with the City's current enforcement system. The goal of an integrated
parking management system is to provide a seamless, efficient, customer-
friendly and cost-effective operation.
In terms of citation processing services, the vendor will process parking citations
issued within the City, which will include citation tracking, payment acceptance,
appeals processing, and collections. The use of a qualified vendor will continue
to strengthen our relationship with the community through increased trust and
confidence. The Police Department has utilized the current vendor for
approximately 31 years. During this time, technology has advanced and there
are handheld computerized citation issuing equipment, printers, and customized
citation forms used for enforcement. This technology includes real-time software
that allows the customer to pay for a citation shortly after its issuance and a
color camera for evidential photographs. This will serve as another layer of
efficiency and provide unparalleled, customer-friendly service by providing a
more detailed and accurate account of the events.
In addition to the citation processing services, the City's preferential permit
parking, which is currently being managed by the Police Department, has been
growing since its inception. An updated and web-based on-line permitting
system would improve customer service, convenience, and efficiency. The
system, managed by the vendor and overseen by the Police Department, would
allow for on-line permit applications, renewals, and guest passes to be applied
for and fulfilled immediately.
Staff has conducted extensive research into options for parking permit
management and citation processing services with the goal of finding an
integrated option. Through the Request for Proposal (RFP) process and
research into seven (7) different vendors, the decision was narrowed down to
three (3) vendors offering solutions for both parking permit management and
citation their hardware and software, it citation processing services from
Department.
It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Murray and seconded by Councilmember
City Council February 7, 2017
