FROM THE PARKING FACILITIES FUND, FUND BALANCE
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance establishes Project Account PF1702, budgets and appropriates funds in the
amount of $180,000 for Parking Ticket System.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
It was identified, in 2017, that the City of Pueblo’s current, antiquated parking enforcement
software system is on the verge of a fatal failure and is not compatible with the new accounting
software Munis Tyler. The current parking enforcement software system includes handheld
citation writing devices and back office software that is approximately 15 years old. The outdated
hardware and software is highly inefficient and requires several levels of manual intervention
download citation data into the Municipal Court system requiring several unnecessary manhours
daily. A fatal crash of the system will require paper citations be issued and administered through
Municipal Court.
Through the competitive bid process, the City of Pueblo has selected a vendor to help the City
completely replace the current parking enforcement system. The new system will include
handheld citation writing devices and software, License Plate Reading (LPR) technology, internet
(cloud) support that is fully integrated with Municipal Court software, multiple pay stations for
Municipal Parking facilities and on street metered parking. The project will be presented to City
Council at a later date.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds will be transferred from the Parking Facilities Fund, fund balance.
