The following is up for approval on the Santa Monica City Council agenda this evening. The Council should postpone approval of the addition on parking meters on streets that border residential neighborhoods without seeking and receiving input from the residential neighbors in each affected area. The arbitrary addition of yet more parking meters without resident approval is yet another example of the staff ignoring the wishes of the community. I urge the City Council to require neighborhood council and bordering resident notification and approval before installation. The ordinance is: 3-F: Purchase and Install Additional Parking Meters – recommendation to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a second modification to Contract No. 9496 (CCS) with IPS Group, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $323,000 for the purchase and installation of 350 additional parking meters with ground sensors in various locations throughout the City, and in the amount not to exceed $93,800 annually for on-going operating costs to the current contract. This will result in a five-year amended contract with a new total amount not to exceed $10,296,950 for installation, maintenance, and operations of parking meters with future funding contingent on Council approval. Email the City Council now!
