2025-27 NEW BUSINESS
A. Parking Enforcement Management System Public Safety
The police department is looking to switch over to a new parking enforcement
management system for paid parking to increase efficiency for our parking
enforcement officers and a more user-friendly experience for consumers.
Parking Enforcement has a contract with Passport Inc. to provide services for
people to purchase daily paid parking passes as well as pay any parking
citation. Their contract expires on 07/19/2025. We are looking into a new
parking enforcement system to increase efficiency and accuracy. T2 Systems
came in at the lowest bid compared to Passport and Aims Parking. T2 Systems
quoted $22,126 for the first year and a $10,764 annual cost for each year after
that.
T2 Systems also has a user-friendly app for customers to purchase paid parking
and a responsive customer service team. Using the T2 Systems would still allow
for annual parking passes to be purchased at kiosks. T2 Systems would add
additional options for people to purchase daily passes using an app, pay for
parking citations using an app, and parking enforcement to check parking
passes by reading license plates.
Timothy Kozal, Public Safety Director, explained the item and answered
questions.

Staff met with the City Attorneys to create a guideline for requests from
community organizations to be in attendance at the farmers market.
The Farmers Market receives requests from organizations to participate at the
farmers market to raise funds for their organization, bring awareness to their
organization, gather signatures for petitions, etc.
The City Attorneys reviewed our current guideline and suggested some
changes. Staff is suggesting groups must fill out the request to be at the market.
Three organizations will be allowed at the market at a time. The organization
may bring one - four foot table and two chairs and a 10x10 tent. The Market
Manager will place the organization between the picnic table area and food
trucks on Market Street. Organizations may attend up to three times per
season. Selling of items will be prohibited.
City Clerk Ann Marie Meisch and Renae Hessling, Farmers Market Staff,
explained the item and answered questions. This will be brought back to
Commission at the April 8th City Commission Meeting.
