SUMMARY
This Ordinance creates and funds the purchase of a parking enforcement vehicle.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND
The primary function of the Parking Enforcers is to enforce the time limit zones in our
commercial areas of the City. The areas range from Downtown, Mesa Junction, Bessemer,
Parkview and St. Mary Corwin Hospitals, and areas in between, where the turnover and
availability of on-street parking is critical to area businesses. Because of the distance covered a
vehicle is necessary. It is also critical that the Parking Enforcers can chalk tires from both sides
of the vehicle, hence a 1 seat vehicle with open access on each side. In addition, the proposed
vehicle will be fully electric powered and includes the cost of charging equipment.
The transfer of funds from the Parking Facilities Enterprise and the Parking Facilities Enterprise
Reserves will allow for this purchase and will replace an existing vehicle that is no longer
feasible to operate.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds for the project will be paid out of Project No. PE1401.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
Denying this Ordinance would result in the City of Pueblo being unable to proceed with the
purchase of the replacement enforcement vehicle. This will result in inefficiencies of parking
enforcement and will put a strain on the enforcement of parking regulations throughout the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of this Ordinance.
Attachments: None
