The automated parking citation system <br />streamlines and expedites the issuance and processing of parking citations. <br />Phoenix Group also handles all refunds related to parking penalties. <br /> <br />The additional funds of $125,000 are requested for the current agreement <br />term due to increased enforcement of parking violations, creating <br />addi tional processing acti vi ty. The proactive enforcement has greatly <br />enhanced revenue, with an increase of over $735,000 compared to FY 04-05. <br /> <br />Staff's evaluation has determined that the Phoenix Group has performed <br />satisfactorily and recommends renewing the agreement for another one-year <br />term, in an amount not to exceed $275,000. The extension of the contract <br />through the end of the 2007 calendar year will guarantee stability within <br />the processing, hearing, and collection procedures for our City's <br />citations. <br /> <br />250-1 <br />
