· Technology Services believes all cameras and recording system will be fully operation
by the end of this month.
2) Smart Meter Program - Street Meters.
· Sensor not installed - pilot test project ongoing - no data or report yet. (Analysis to be
completed early July, decision soon after)
· Nothing to report on meter stickers.
· Based on a financial study, the City expects 40 percent credit card use in its first year
at a $0.75 rate. Currently, with several weeks of data, credit card use is approximately
26 percent. This figure continues to trend upward since installation, and City staff
expect that this number will increase as the summer brings additional visitors to
Belmont Shore.
3) Sidewalk Sealant.
· Met with and reviewed project with Director of PW.
· Director of PW is investigating liability and maintenance concerns.
4) BSBA Annual Report and Budget.
· Forwarded to City Council for Approval - date? (Resolution of Intention - 8/18; Public
Hearing - 9/15)
5) Elimination of Reverse Compounding in Parking Lot Meters.
· At last meeting motion was made to raise the south side parking meters to $0.50/hour
based on an assumption that north side meters are $0.50/hour - which is not correct.
All meters in public parking lots, including those on the north side, are $0.25/hour.
· As such, pursuant to the approved motion, compounding will be eliminated on the
south side meters, but not increase in parking rates will be made.
6) Purchase and Installation of 12 new Big Belly trash receptacles.
· Working on PO for project.
· No date yet for installation. (In the process of getting City Manager approval)
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: Members of the public are invited to address the
Commission on items of interest to the public within Commission jurisdiction. Each
speaker will be limited to three minutes unless that time is extended by the Chair.
