patrons.

FY2019 DISCUSSION

The FY2019 Adopted Budget includes an increase of 6 APs and 6.00 FTEs from the 2018 Budget due to the
conversion of an administrative assistant position to 1 AP and 1.00 FTE and the addition of 5 APs and 5.00 FTEs to
the West 7 Street neighborhood parking expansion to cover over 200 parking spaces, including 24 pay-stations
th
and 60 meters. The positions include three parking compliance technicians, one traffic services worker and one
senior administrative assistant.

There is an anticipated increase of $20k in lease revenue in FY2019.

The Adopted Budget increases by $328k in general operating and maintenance expenses due to an increase in
administrative cost allocation, other contractual services, bank charges, facility repair and maintenance and
supplies.

HORIZON ISSUES

Near Southside & Magnolia District
• Work is currently underway through the Near Southside organization and stakeholders in the Magnolia
area for a parking and traffic study which has significant short to medium term implications for
commercial loading, metered parking and residential permit parking programs in that area.

Expansion in the Residential Permit Parking program
• Multiple neighborhoods around TCU/University District are interested in the path forward to obtain RPP
designation.

Technology implementation to drive process improvements and innovation and reduce process time
• License Plate Readers – Improve tracking of parking compliance at parking lots and on-street locations
and those vehicles with a high number of outstanding citations.
• Automated Reservation System & Guidance System – Provide technology to guide drivers to available
parking locations and as well as reserving a space in city parking lots and garages.
• Automate Taylor Street Garage – Install parking gates to the Taylor Street garage to control access and
improve security within the garage.
• Improve parking control equipment and system across the WRMC parking assets which will enable the
WRMC campus to be integrated with the Dickies arena.
• E-Ticket Writer – Conversion of the current citation writing from manual ticket process to an electronic
ticket writer which will provide improved accuracy and process time.

Parking Citation Benchmarking & Fee Increase
• Benchmarking of major Texas cities parking related citation amounts and using this data to assess current
Fort Worth citation standards – cooperative effort with Municipal Court; the last time this was performed
was in FY2009.
