07-26-16 BOA Minutes July 26, 2016 Page 5 of 7 - 25% of fines and penalties past due, if paid - $0.50 per late notice sent by Passport - $1,000 per month for unlimited permits - Taking into account the expected savings in software and staff processing costs the net cost to the city is expected to be approximately $ 33,500 per year. However, if changes in rates and fines are implemented these costs will be more than recovered. The Passport system allows for the most efficient implementation of a pay by phone mobile app for parking and the necessary support software. As you are aware there are a number of subsequent parking program changes that staff will bring forward to discuss at future dates. The Passport system will accommodate any of the anticipated changes that may be considered. Recommendation is to approve the ordinance authorizing a contract with Passport for the implementation of a parking app, enforcement and payment software and a permit module. In response to Mayor Sanger’s question, the Board of Aldermen all commented that they are okay with the software app. Alderman Garnholz introduced Bill No. 6566, an Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement With Passport Inc. in Connection with a Parking Application, Enforcement and Payment Software and Permit Module to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Winings seconded.

The package includes a mobile app, enforcement and payment software, a module for parking permits, and full integration with our current parking kiosks (Parkeons). The mobile app is to be used by residents and visitors parking in Clayton and allows them to use their smartphone to pay for and extend parking sessions and to pay parking violations. In addition, Clayton merchants may participate in the app to validate customer parking. The enforcement and payment software is a necessary upgrade in order to be able to implement the app and still maintain efficient enforcement. The permit module will also allow residential zone parking permits to be issued virtually and by license plate and will allow the City to track the permits issued. Beginning in the fall of 2015 staff has been evaluating various apps and associated necessary software upgrades to enhance the parking experience in the City. Most mobile apps, enforcement and payment software, permit modules, and parking kiosks are completely separate components not provided by a single firm, and are frequently incompatible or have compatibility challenges. Such compatibility and integration challenges constituted most of the delay in our implementation of the app as originally planned. Staff has received proposals from several software providers and app companies, although most would require purchasing different components from various vendors to integrate together to try to meet our needs.

Such compatibility and integration challenges constituted most of the delay in our implementation of the app as originally planned. Staff has received proposals from several software providers and app companies, although most would require purchasing different components from various vendors to integrate together to try to meet our needs. Through our evaluation we have concluded that a system which already integrates all of these components allows for the most efficient parking system both from an operation and enforcement standpoint and, most importantly, will provide the residents and visitors with the best parking user interface. Staff is recommending a contract with Passport. Passport is a Delaware based company that has been in business since 2010. It has 65 employees and currently has over 1,000 installations across 47 states. The cities of Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit, and Boston are clients of Passport. 230 Passport clients are using systems similar to the one proposed in the attached contract. The business points of the attached contract are as follows: • Charges to mobile app users: - Passport will charge app users $0.10 per use as a convenience fee - City may add up to an additional $0.20 per use to help offset credit card processing fees. • Charges to the City by Passport: - $2.00 per citation paid
