AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH PASSPORT LABS, INC. TO REMOVE EXCLUSIVITY CLAUSE

11-11-2025 BOA Minutes November 11, 2025 Page 8 of 14 City Manager Gipson reported that staff is requesting approval of an amendment to the Software License and Service Agreement (the "Agreement") with Passport Labs, Inc. (formerly PassportParking, Inc.), originally executed on August 6, 2016, and previously amended on October 27, 2020.
