Title

Amending various sections of Chapter 12 and Section 1.08(3)(a) of the Madison General Ordinances to allow paid parking test areas and to update sections relating to parking meters to reflect modern parking meter technology and improve ease of administration.

Body

DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS:    This ordinance would allow the Parking Division Manager, with approval from and under the authority of the Transportation Commission, to run test programs for new technology and systems around paid parking. This amendment also updates language around parking meters to reflect current and foreseeable trends in technology. Section 12.147 on the misuse of parking meters has been expanded to include software and electronic tampering, as well as to include kiosks and similar or related equipment within that section. It also amends Section 12.148 to allow fees from paid parking to go to the general parking division fund rather than funds being restricted to uses related to installation, operation, inspection, and regulation of parking meters and spaces.
