Honorable Parking and Public Improvements Commission Chair and Commissioners THROUGH:

Adam Finestone, Acting Community Development Director
FROM:

Erik Zandvliet, T.E Traffic Engineer
SUBJECT:

Consider Proposed Code Amendments to Title 3 - Public Safety, Chapter 3.24 - Parking Meters and Newly Proposed Title 14 - Traffic, Chapter 14.42 - Paid Parking of the Manhattan Beach Municipal Code

DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION
_________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Parking and Public Improvements Commission pass a motion to recommend that the City Council consider and adopt the proposed code amendments to Title 3 - Public Safety, Chapter 3.24 - Parking Meters, and the newly proposed Title 14 - Traffic, Chapter

14.42 - Paid Parking sections of the Manhattan Beach Municipal Code (MBMC).

BACKGROUND:

The City currently operates over 1,275 single-space parking meters and 12 older model pay stations.

These systems are nearly at the end of their useful life, costly to maintain, and prone to technical issues.

On April 15, 2025, the City Council approved the Parking Technology Roadmap (see Attachments 1 and 2). This Roadmap provides the City with guidance on building a cohesive, effective parking technology ecosystem to improve efficiency and future-proof the City’s paid parking program. This Roadmap specifically focuses on replacing outdated parking payment technologies and assessing supporting solutions, including transitioning from existing single-space parking meter technology to a pay station and a mobile payment program using pay-by-plate technology. As part of their approval, City Council directed staff to proceed with specific Roadmap items related to transitioning the City’s parking payment infrastructure to pay-by-plate enforcement, pay station kiosks and mobile payment options.

On November 4, 2025, the City Council approved the City Parking Management Strategies and Toolkit, which outlined a comprehensive framework for enhancing parking operations and implementing new technology solutions within the City. Among the strategies identified was the transition to modern pay-by-plate pay stations and mobile payment platforms as part of a broader effort to streamline enforcement, improve customer convenience, and better manage parking

demand.

On February 17, 2026, the City Council approved a three-year agreement with ParkMobile, LLC, for the purchase, installation, and operation of parking pay stations and mobile parking payment system services. The pay stations and mobile payment system are scheduled to replace the current individual parking meter system in November.

On May 19, 2026, the City Council approved an agreement with EYEP Solutions for the purchase, implementation and operation of a mobile license plate recognition system for parking enforcement.

The system will assist the Police Department in the enforcement of parking violations of the new paid parking system that will use mobile license plate readers to monitor time-limit and paid parking regulations instead of the current manual method of chalking tires.

Although the Roadmap did not specifically address the City’s metered (paid) parking regulations, staff have determined that amendments to the Municipal Code are necessary to update the City’s regulatory framework related to metered parking. The new regulations proposed in this agenda item will authorize new parking payment methods, allow for new enforcement technologies, and ensure consistency between the Municipal Code and the operational framework contemplated by the Roadmap. For example, the public will be able to use a pay station or their mobile devices to pay for parking with electronic payments and make additional payments to extend a parking session up to the maximum posted time limit. Additionally, the Police Department will be able to use time-stamped license plate images instead of marking tires. The code changes will also allow for more flexible parking options depending on the date, day of week, season or location.

DISCUSSION:

Title 3, Chapter 3.24 of the Municipal Code, entitled Parking Meters, was written for traditional single-space parking meters and coin-based payment options. As such, it does not provide for the new mobile payment and enforcement technologies that have been approved by the City Council.

Additionally, Title 14 of the Municipal Code was identified as the most appropriate section for paid parking regulations, under the same title as other parking regulations. The intent of these amendments is not to make significant policy changes, but rather to align the Municipal Code with the direction already approved by the City Council, as outlined in the Roadmap.

Staff proposes to amend the MBMC Title 3 - PUBLIC SAFETY, Chapter 24 - PARKING METERS, Section 3.24 as follows:
· Rename Chapter 3.24 from “PARKING METERS” to “MERCHANT PARKING PERMITS” · Repeal Sections:
o 3.24.010 - Definitions.
o 3.24.020 - Penalty.
o 3.24.030 - Parking meter zones.
o 3.24.040 - Parking meter rates.
o 3.24.050 - Deposit of coin.
o 3.24.060 - Parking meter violations.
o 3.24.070 - Time limits.
o 3.24.080 - Use of substitute coins unlawful.
o 3.24.095 - Parking fund.
o 3.24.110 - Off-street parking meters.
o 3.24.120 - Issuance of payment of notice of parking violations. o 3.24.130 - Special rules and regulations.
o 3.24.140 - Parking in off-street public parking spaces. o 3.24.160 - Parking in publicly-owned or controlled parking lots.

MVMC Sections 3.24.170 through 3.24.174, related to the City’s long-established merchant parking permit program, will remain in Chapter 3.24, as reflected by the chapter’s name change. A red-line version of MBMC Chapter 3.24 is attached to this staff report as reference (Attachment 3).

Staff proposes to add a new chapter in MBMC Title 14 - TRAFFIC, entitled “Chapter 14.42 - PAID PARKING”. This chapter will include any previous metered parking regulations in MBMC Chapter

3.24 that still apply to the new paid parking system, as well as new regulations that are necessary to operate and enforce the approved parking technologies for mobile parking payments and license plate-based enforcement.

The proposed new sections in MBMC Chapter 14.42 are as follows:
· 14.42.010 - Paid Parking Zones.
· 14.42.020 - Paid Parking Rates.
· 14.42.030 - Payment Required.
· 14.42.040 - Paid Parking Violations.

Several definitions related to paid parking will also be added to MBMC Chapter 14.01-DEFINITIONS, including Operator, Paid Parking Device, Payment, Street and Vehicle. The proposed municipal code changes to MBMC Title 14-TRAFFIC, Chapters 14.01-DEFINITIONS and 14.42-PAID PARKING, are attached to this report (Attachment 4).

The proposed code language has been reviewed by all affected departments, including Public Works, Finance, Police, Community Development, and the City Attorney’s Office, to ensure that it covers all enforcement and implementation areas and is consistent with City practices.

Following the Commission meeting, next steps include introduction and first reading of the proposed Ordinance at the September 15, 2026, City Council meeting, with second reading and adoption of the Ordinance tentatively scheduled for the October 6, 2026, City Council Meeting. Should the City Council adopt the Ordinance, it will become effective in November to coincide with the implementation of the new parking and payment technology system.

PUBLIC OUTREACH:

In addition to the standard public noticing requirements through the City’s website and posted agendas at City Hall, the Manhattan Beach Public Library, and other City community centers, email notification of this meeting has been provided to the Downtown Business and Professional Association and the Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce to share with their members.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The City has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Class 1 - Existing Facilities Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA guidelines since the project proposes minor changes to parking regulations and provides for the replacement of parking meters with modernized parking kiosks and supporting payment technology. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.

SUBJECT:

Consideration of a Plan to Transition Parking Payment Infrastructure to Payment Kiosks and Mobile Pay Options (Unbudgeted) (Public Works Director Lee). (Estimated Time: 30 Mins.)

DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION
_________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council discuss and provide direction on a plan to transition parking payment infrastructure to payment kiosks and mobile pay options.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The proposed plan is estimated to cost approximately $3.09 million for implementation, which includes the purchase and installation of pay stations, signage, digital displays, and upgrades to the License Plate Recognition (LPR) system. Ongoing annual costs are estimated at $475,300, which includes software licensing, transaction fees, and warranty coverage.

Currently, the City is responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses related to parts and equipment replacements and transaction fees associated with parking meter credit card payments. The proposed plan includes warranty coverage for both the LPR system and pay stations, enabling the City to plan and manage future budgets more effectively. Additionally, the updated system offers opportunities to streamline transaction processing, potentially reducing per-transaction fees through more efficient payment methods. If directed by the City Council to proceed, a budget to support this plan will be included as part of the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget process.

On March 14, 2023, the City Council directed staff to place “Parking Meter and Kiosk Exploration” on the City Council Work Plan. This project involves updating the City’s parking payment infrastructure and moving away from single-space meters in appropriate parking areas.

The City currently operates 1,275 single-space meters and 12 pay stations. These systems have nearly reached the end of their useful life, are costly to maintain, and are prone to technical issues. To address these challenges, the City contracted with Dixon Resources Unlimited to develop a Parking Technology Roadmap (Roadmap) that identifies strategies to improve parking payment infrastructure and implement modernized systems. The Roadmap is included as an attachment to this report.

DISCUSSION:

Transitioning from single-space parking meters to centralized kiosks and mobile payment systems, as described in the Roadmap, offers several overarching benefits to the community by modernizing technology and streamlining parking operations. This shift will provide for better integration of parking systems, allowing for more efficient management of resources, improved data collection, and enhanced enforcement capabilities. By consolidating maintenance needs from nearly 1,300 individual meters to approximately 140 pay stations, the City will be able to allocate resources more effectively and reduce equipment downtime, creating a more reliable parking experience.

Additionally, the implementation of kiosks and mobile payment options will provide users with increased flexibility and convenience in completing parking transactions. These systems will reduce reliance on physical currency, streamline the payment process, and offer real-time information on parking availability, assisting drivers in locating open spaces more efficiently.

To support user security, the City will not utilize QR codes as part of the payment process.

Although QR codes are widely used in many digital transactions, the City does not currently use them and will not incorporate them into this new parking payment system. This approach is intended to minimize potential security concerns while supporting a reliable, accessible, and efficient parking experience for all users.

Key strategies from the Roadmap to improve parking payment infrastructure and implement modernized systems are described below.

Core Technology Update
All single-space meters would be replaced with approximately 140 new pay stations. These pay stations will include a combination of card-only and card-plus-coin models to maximize payment infrastructure accessibility. Additionally, app-based and text-to-pay solutions will be introduced to complement the pay stations, providing users with multiple payment options. The payment infrastructure simplifies maintenance and operational oversight, shifting from managing 1,300 individual meters to just 140 centralized pay stations. This reduces maintenance demands, improves equipment reliability, and lowers long-term operational costs. The integration of multiple payment platforms also supports more efficient revenue collection and enhanced enforcement capabilities through real-time data, ultimately maximizing parking availability and turnover.

Enhancements to Parking Enforcement
LPR technology would be expanded and integrated to enhance enforcement and data collection. Parking enforcement vehicles will be equipped with cameras capable of automatically scanning and reading license plates as they drive through parking areas. This system allows for real-time verification of parking sessions, whether paid via pay stations or mobile apps, by matching license plate numbers to active parking transactions in the database.

The technology significantly enhances enforcement capabilities by allowing officers to cover more ground efficiently and accurately, reducing the need for manual checks and minimizing human error. Additionally, the data collected through LPR helps the City analyze parking patterns, identify high-demand areas, and optimize enforcement schedules. By improving turnover and compliance through efficient enforcement, LPR contributes to maximizing parking availability, ensuring that more spaces are used effectively and equitably throughout the day.

Improved Signage
The City would also standardize regulatory and informational signage with unified branding to improve clarity and usability. This effort would benefit both users and the City by creating a more consistent and intuitive parking environment. For users, consistent signage reduces confusion about parking rules, payment methods, and time limits, making it easier to understand where and how to park legally. Improved clarity enhances the overall user experience, minimizes accidental violations, and supports smoother navigation throughout the parking system.

Furthermore, digital parking occupancy signs would be installed in appropriate parking lots to provide real-time information on garage and lot availability, enhancing both wayfinding and overall parking efficiency. For users, access to accurate, up-to-date occupancy data helps streamline the parking experience by reducing the time spent searching for available spaces, particularly in busy areas. This improves convenience, supports a more efficient arrival process, and can help alleviate traffic congestion caused by vehicles circulating in search of parking. For the City, these signs contribute to more effective management of parking resources and promote better distribution of demand across facilities.

Integrated Parking Management
Data collection and analysis would be enhanced using integrated tools for real-time insights into parking trends and operations. Operational processes will be updated to align with the shift from extensive physical hardware to more streamlined, technology-driven systems. With fewer devices to maintain and greater reliance on digital tools such as mobile payments and real-time data, the City would adjust its resource allocation and management approach to support efficient operation and maintenance of the modernized parking infrastructure.

Updates to Business Processes
The transition would also necessitate updates to maintenance and collection procedures, as well as an evaluation of staffing needs, including full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) and job duties for Meter Repair Workers.

Parking Management Study
In 2024, City staff contracted with Walker Consultants to conduct a comprehensive Citywide Parking Management Study focused on on-street and off-street public parking within its

Parking and Public Improvements Commission Meeting

commercial areas, including Downtown, the North End Business District, and other commercial zones. The study assesses existing parking supply and demand, evaluates current and anticipated parking needs, and analyzes potential parking and curbside management strategies. The goal is to develop a practical and actionable set of recommendations to support the efficient management of parking resources and multi-modal transportation access.

The transition of the City’s parking payment infrastructure to payment kiosks and mobile pay options as recommended in this report would enable the City to quickly deploy the parking strategies being developed in the current City Parking Management Study. Many of the anticipated parking strategies will require a smart parking meter system capable of mobile payments, flexible parking rate data analytics, and real-time monitoring and enforcement to better manage our parking supply. This smart system would be able to optimize parking operations and proactively respond to evolving parking needs, which would result in an improved overall user experience and more sustainable urban environment.

Next Steps
Staff recommends that the City move forward transitioning its parking payment infrastructure to payment kiosks and mobile pay options through a competitive RFP process. This process would ensure that the City evaluates multiple qualified vendors, identifies cost-effective and practical solutions, and selects technology that best meets the needs of the community. It would also include vendor demonstrations to assess system functionality, user interface design, and integration capabilities with existing and planned enforcement and data systems. Additionally, these demonstrations would allow the City to evaluate how the proposed equipment performs under local coastal conditions to ensure durability and reliability. If directed to proceed, a Coastal Development Permit must be approved prior to the award of any contract. Staff anticipates that the new payment infrastructure could be installed by the end of Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

prior to full implementation, the City will provide opportunities for stakeholders to review the selected equipment, participate in demonstrations, and offer feedback on the user experience.

This effort will ensure that the community is informed about the new parking payment technologies and can provide input on the transition, ultimately enhancing public trust and ensuring the smooth adoption of the new system.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the discussion and direction from City Council is not a “Project” as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA and no further environmental review is necessary. However, any plan to ultimately transition parking payment infrastructure to parking kiosks and mobile pay options may be subject to CEQA and will be analyzed prior to said activities being brought back to City Council for consideration.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report and determined that no additional legal analysis is necessary.

Technology Roadmap
The following section provides recommendations for replacing or enhancing the existing technology as well as non-technology implications for the program.

Pay Station Technology
The City currently utilizes a mix of single-space parking meters and multi-space pay stations for on-street and off-street parking payments. To promote an easy and customer-friendly parking experience, the City should select a new singular technology in the form of state-of-the-art pay stations with a pay -by-plate enforcement method. This specific format is the latest industry standard for efficiency and function.

This technology has proven more cost-effective and customer-friendly over the long term.

Savings are found through less on -street infrastructure, implementation costs, replacement parts, and maintenance service. Most vendors now provide ongoing services for a flat per-pay station fee, removing any per-transaction fees which add to the savings. Additional services are now available on pay stations, including customized branding, information screens, validations, alternative payment listings , and more. These services are found to not only enhance the customer's experience but also support the goals of local businesses and other stakeholders.

Pay stations may be configured to accept payment types that support the changing payment landscape. The majority of transactions will be a bank card purchase, however access to coin payment is still required and also supports a customer friendly approach. It is recommended that the City consider a mix of bank card only and bank card plus coin accepting pay stations.

Reducing the number of coin-accepting pay stations provides an operational and fiscal benefit by requiring less hardware maintenance and coin collecting and counting.

For the purposes of this plan, we have recommended a 50/50 split between pay station configurations. However, the actual number will need to be determined with the following considerations:
• Parking Lots or Garages: At least one coin accepting pay station will be needed in each parking lot or garage.
• On-Street: A customer should not be required to walk further than one block to make a coin payment. The City should make an effort to place the coin accepting pay station in the same location on each block.
• Signs or Postings: A sign or posting on or near a bank card only pay station should list the nearest coin accepting pay station.

The Pay Station systems will be utilized with the other technologies recommended in this report to create a cohesive and efficient parking technology program. Pay by plate supports an enhanced enforcement program through integrations that allow the LPR system to scan license plates to identify noncompliance. These integrations are industry standard and should be of no additional cost to the City.

To install new pay stations, the City should consider the following general guidelines for equipment placement.

Parking and Public Improvements Commission Meeting

4 January 2, 2025
• Parallel Parking Block – One pay station shall service 8 to 10 parallel parking stalls on a block face. The pay station should be located nearest to the center of the block. • Angled/Perpendicular Parking Block – One pay station shall service 15 to 20 angled or perpendicular stalls located on a block face. The pay station should be located nearest to the center of the block.
• Additional Pay Station per Block – Additional pay stations may be added to a block face with more than 10 parallel or 20 angled stalls. The additional pay station (s) will provide service for every additional group of 2 to 10 parallel parking stalls or 2 to 20 angled/perpendicular stalls on a block face. Each pay station should be located nearest to the center of each group of stalls.
• Corner Placement – Corner placement of pay stations may be considered depending on the storefront makeup, block length, and pedestrian traffic flow. • Street Crossing – A customer shall not have to cross traffic to access a pay station.

The following is an approximate count of pay stations the City will need to procure. It is also recommended to purchase an additional spare stock. These pay stations can be utilized to fill in any additional locations determined during implementation and as spare parts for ongoing operations. Purchasing additional pay stations in bulk is generally more cost-effective than individual or spare parts purchases.

During the procurement process, DIXON can work with the City to identify and map each pay station's specific location to refine the total number required. The following is the approximate total number of pay stations that will be needed.

The tasks and components associated with pay station implementation include:
 Pay Station solution procurement (City)
 Pay station hardware (Vendor)
 Pay station software and back-office configuration (Vendor)  Project Management (City and/or Consultant)
 Pay station installation (City or Vendor)
 Removal of existing meters and poles (City or Vendor)  Ongoing services (Vendor)
 Pay station maintenance (City)
Mobile Payment Applications
The industry has moved to an increasing digital technology ecosystem, which includes mobile payment application ( App) solutions. Cities across the globe have implemented app-based payments to provide an efficient way to pay via a smartphone, including surrounding municipalities such as Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Seal Beach. Using an app reduced the reliance on hardware, thus allowing the city to purchase fewer pay stations by supplementing this additional payment option. Apps are provided as a service from a vendor, requiring no City technology infrastructure and can support enhanced functionality such as validations.

The tasks and components associated with App implementation include:
 App Solution Procurement (City)
 App and back-office configuration (Vendor)
 Project Management (City and/or Consultant)
 Sign and sticker manufacturing (City or Vendor)
 Sign and sticker installation (City or Vendor)
 Ongoing Services and Transaction fee (City may pay this fee or pass along to the customer)
 Sign and sticker maintenance (City)

QR Code Scams
As the City moves towards implementing new technologies, it is imperative to consider QR code scamming which has become all too common, especially in a payment environment. The scam involves unauthorized individuals affixing QR codes to parking meters, pay stations and signage. Once a customer scans the QR code, they are guided to an app or site instructing them to enter their information. If the customer continues through the process, their information is captured and used for fraudulent activity.

It is recommended for the City not to use any physical QR codes for payment or marketing material. Additionally, advertising that the City does not use QR codes notifies customers not to use any QR codes they might find. As part of ongoing maintenance procedures, the City should include a regular physical check of assets to ensure no QR codes have been affixed or remove any that have been.

Mobile payment and related signage may supplement or replace a pay station installation, especially on block faces with 11 to 17 parallel parking stalls or 16 to 39 angled/perpendicular stalls. In this case, easily identifiable signage should be placed along the block face every 2 to 4 parallel parking stalls or 4 to 6 angles/perpendicular parking stalls.

It is standard practice for the vendor to provide the first round of signs and stickers at no cost to the City. The City would be responsible for installation of the signs and purchasing any subsequent signs or stickers. Alternatively, the City could request vendor pricing for sign installation.

To procure an App solution, DIXON recommends that the City include App services as an option along with pay stations in a singular RFP .

Along with the mobile payment application, most vendors also provide a text- to-pay option.

This functionality allows customers to pay by texting a listed number rather than downloading an app. Using text-to-pay further reduces the reliance on hardware and provides even more options for convenient payment and compliance.

The technology follows the same processes and procedures as app implementation. No City technology or hardware infrastructure is required beyond placing signs in the appropriate locations.

To procure a text-to-pay solution, DIXON recommends that the City include this as an option along with the pay station and the mobile app in a singular RFP .

Sensors
The City will also remove the parking occupancy sensors by removing the IPS single -space meters. It is recommended that sensors are entirely removed from the City’s operation. The marketed benefits of the technology still need to be proven and made more affordable in terms of installation and ongoing costs. The two major benefits of sensors can be replaced by new pay station technology.

This benefit of occupancy data can be replaced with mobile LPR cameras and implementation of the DIXON Data Suite® (more information can be found in the Data Analysis and Reporting section). The benefit of removing (resetting) the remaining time at the meter when a vehicle departs is replaced with pay station technology. With pay stations, revenue is secured by the vehicle (pay by plate), thus negating the need for any sensor reset functionally. As an added benefit to the customer, the City may consider allowing a customer to take their time with them, meaning they can move to a different parking spot within a specific zone to utilize their remaining purchased time.

License Plate Recognition (LPR)
Currently, the City utilizes LPR installed on three enforcement vehicles. The systems are used to query histor ical data and detect stolen vehicles . With the transition to a fully pay -by-plate pay station-based system, enforcement operations will need to be adjusted, providing more efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The LPR system will be integrated with the pay station, mobile payment, and text- to-pay vendor, allowing transaction data to be utilized for enforcement.

Additionally, the system can be used for digital chalking, time limit enforcement, stolen vehicle detection, permit enforcement, and data collection.

For most enforcement activities, an officer will drive the vehicle equipped with LPR through the enforcement areas, and the technology will assess potential violations . An additional integration may be possible between the LPR system and the citation issuance system, where the information of the noncompliant vehicle is transferred to the issuance handheld, thus speeding up the issuance process. Fixed LPR, where stationary cameras are placed at ingress and egress points of parking lots or garages, can also be considered to support enforcement and occupancy data collection.

To implement the new payment technology, the City should assess the functionality and quantity of vehicles with LPR to ensure they are adequate for the new program. Additional LPR units and functionality will be required as enforcement officers will rely heavily on the technology to assess compliance versus the current process of manually checking each single space parking meter. Adjustments to the current enforcement workflow and responsibilities will be required to support the new technology.

The City should conduct this procurement and implementation along the same timeline as the pay station technology due to its necessary involvement with the overall parking program.

However, a separate solicitation is recommended. The tasks and components associated with LPR implementation include:
 Assess the current and desired quantity of LPR units (City and/or Consultant)  LPR solution procurement (City)
 LPR hardware, configuration and installation (Vendor)
 Project Management (City and/or Consultant)
 Adjust enforcement workflow and responsibilities (City and/or Consultant)  Ongoing services (Vendor)
 LPR maintenance (City)
Data Collection and Analysis
Ongoing data collection and evaluation will be essential to ensuring the parking program adapts to fit the community's needs best. Data -driven decisions will enhance the success of parking management strategies, policies, and regulations by allowing the City to remain flexible in its approach. DIXON recommends that the City consider using LPR in conjunction with the DIXON Data Suite®. This solution is an efficient and cost- effective way to capture ongoing parking data collected during regular parking enforcement operations.

Data is automatically collected during patrols and automatically ingested into the DIXON Data Suite® through an integration with the LPR system. Data is processed and the City is provided key parking metrics such as the level of parking congestion, turnover rates, and repeat parking trends, which can be used to inform data-driven parking policies and regulations in the future.

This tool also assists in enforcement management by providing optimized enforcement routes and the ability to review enforcement efficiency and coverage. The DIXON Data Suite® can also support integrating transaction and citation data from the City’s chosen vendors that provide a comprehensive view of the entire parking program.

Digital Parking Occupancy Signs
The City may consider using Digital Parking Occupancy Sign s ( Digital Signs) to improve wayfinding to parking garages and lots. As general practice for municipal parking operations, on-street parking is optimized for short term visits to business, restaurants, and services located along the blocks of the avai lable parking. Whereas, off-street parking is optimized for longer- term stays. Digital Signs are utilized to indicate available off -street parking to customers, encouraging them to use the se facilities r ather than circling blocks in search of on -street parking.

The Digital Sign technology includes the following components:
• Cameras: Cameras are installed at parking facility entry and exits points to collect occupancy data.
• Facility Signs : Digital S igns are placed at the entry points to provide availability information.
• Remote Signs: Digital Signs are deployed in high visibility locations to direct customers to available off-street parking.
• Infrastructure: Power and communications infrastructure must be installed as part of the Digital Sign solution.
• Management System: A cloud hosted management will be provided for system management and reporting.

This solution would be best served at the following City facilities:
• Metlox Garage
• Civic Center Garage
• Lot 4
• Pier Lots
• El Porto Lot
• 26th and Ocean Lot
The City may consider conducting this procurement and implementation along the same timeline as the other technology, however a separate solicitation for this specific solution is recommended, allowing for selection for best in class of each . Should more time be needed, conducting the solicitation after the pay station procurement is recommended. The tasks and components associated with Digital Sign implementation include:
 Digital Sign procurement (City)
 Digital Sign hardware (Vendor)
 Digital Sign software and back-office configuration (Vendor)  Project Management (City and/or Consultant)
 Digital Sign installation (Vendor provided)
 Ongoing services (Vendor)
 Digital Sign maintenance (City)

Signs & Branding
Consistent and clear signs are critical to creating a
customer-friendly experience while encouraging
compliance. With the adoption of a pay station-only
infrastructure complemented by App and text- to-pay
services, the City will need to assess existing signage and create a plan to install additional signs addressing the new program features. There are three main types of signs to consider:
• Regulatory – These signs are required by law and
should follow the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) guidelines and California Vehicle
Code (CVC) . Information includes hours of
enforcement, time limits, no parking and more.

Currently, regulatory signs are installed on single -
space meter poles and individual sign poles
throughout the City.
• Informational – Informational signs, while not
currently existing, will need to be added to
accommodate the new payment platforms.

Information should include where /how to pay for parking (app, text to pay, and pay station) and other relevant parking information and may be branded to the look and feel of Manhattan Beach.
• Pay Station – A pay station should be accompanied by signs identifying the location as a place to pay. These signs and stickers placed on the pay station may also include alternative payment methods and may be branded for the City.

As part of the signage assessment and plan, the City should consider adopting a unified parking brand which improves the overall customer experience and on-street aesthetic by clearly designating public parking information. The branding can also be utilized on all public parking outreach materials for consistency. A parking brand is successful when it evokes a memorable and positive parking experience, drawing repeat visitors.

The following is an example of a branding package created for the City of Paso Robles, CA.

Figure 2. Paso Robles Branding Package
The tasks and components associated with signage assessment and planning include:
 Assessment of current sign package (City and/or Consultant)  Plan for new sign package (City and/or Consultant)
 Branding and designing of signs and marketing material (City and/or Consultant)  Manufacturing of signs and marketing materials (City and/or vendor)  Installation of signs and necessary poles (City and/or vendor)  Maintenance of signs and poles (City)
Demonstrations
As part of the procurement process, DIXON recommends that the City conduct interviews and demonstrations with vendors who meet the minimum qualifications. This should include requiring the vendor to bring their technology and provide a demonstration during the interview. The evaluation committee should take this opportunity to experience the technology as a customer and evaluate the functionality, collection process, and ease of maintenance.

Technology Vendor Contracting
As the City procures new technology partners, it is recommended that the following components be included in each contract based on industry best practices. • Service Level Agreements (SLA) - The City should include SLAs as part of each agreement, which are used to measure the vendor's performance during the term.

Recommended SLAs are being provided to the City as part of the scope of work for each technology.
• Data and Security Requirements – The City should include specifications for data and security requirements in each agreement, which ensure compliance with related laws and security and proper ownership of the City’s data. Recommended requirements have been provided to the City as part of the scope of work for each technology.

Parking and Public Improvements Commission Meeting
August 20, 2026

11 January 2, 2025
• Data Integration – The City should introduce and maintain data integration standards for all vendor agreements and contracts to establish operational consistency and future- proof the parking technology system . Incorporating these standards into any future contracts with technology vendors can allow the City to maintain authority in the data being collected and used by the vendor, ensure compliance with the City’s security and system requirements, streamline integration processes with other technology systems, and enable smoother transitions between vendors if the City chooses to terminate a vendor for any reason.
• Contract Term – The City should consider the length of each contract based on the technology provided. A base five (5) year term for most agreements is a generally accepted standard. Optional one (1) year extensions up to ten (10) years total may also be included, allowing the City flexibility to maintain an advantageous partnership. For technologies that require little capital to implement, such as mobile payments, a shorter base term of three (3) years with optional one (1) year extensions up to ten (10) years total is recommended.

Maintenance & Operations
The change of parking technology will have an impact on the maintenance and operation of the parking system. The City should prepare for these implications during the procurement process. The following are important aspects to consider:
• Collections: Changing from single space meter coin collection to pay station coin collection is of great benefit to the City as the process will require less person hours and equipment. Single space meters are generally collected on a specific route at regular intervals with collection canisters. Pay stations include a much larger coin vault allowing for less frequent collections and simply require a quick swap of an empty canister for a full one. As an initial standard, it should be expected to collect each coin accepting pay station every 2 – 3 weeks completed in dual custody. Thus, a new Collections Standard Operating Procedure will need to be created and implemented. • Maintenance: With the reduction of infrastructure, less person hours will also be needed for maintenance. In general, the City can expect fewer field response visits and less spare parts inventory to manage . All pay station vendor s provide a back-office maintenance module that will allow maintenance staff to actively monitor system health and receive notifications of outages requiring attention. At a minimum, each pay station should receive preventative maintenance every 90 days. The City will need to adjust the Maintenance Standard Operating Procedures to accommodate the new technology. • Signs: With the addition of digital and analog signs to support the new technology, their upkeep is important. Clear and available communication to customers is critical to enforcement operations and in maintaining a positive customer experience. The City will need to ensure sign observation and maintenance is included in the scope of maintenance staff work. At a minimum, signs should be observed every 6 months.

The City currently employees two technicians that manage meter maintenance and collections.

In comparison to similar parking meter operations, it would be expected to have three to four technicians to be responsible for the current workload while maintaining a system to industry standard level. With the new technology implementation, the City should consider the addition Parking and Public Improvements Commission Meeting
August 20, 2026
33 of 50

12 January 2, 2025
of 1 part-time (or full time) employee, for a total of three technicians. This individual should be hired prior to implementation in order to receive training from the vendor s as is standard for this type of procurement.

The following can be utilized to make an assessment of the quantity of technicians required:
• Basic Responsibilities: These are the standard responsibilities of parking operations technicians which include repair, replacement, preventative maintenance, revenue collections, and spare parts management.
• Distance: The time required to move between installed locations impacts th e amount of time a technician can actually complete the assigned work. • Coverage: Technicians should be available to address repair work during the majority of the operational hours and days. As an initial standard, technicians should be available to address a necessary repair within 1 operating day.
• Collection Frequency: Starting with every 2 – 3 weeks for each pay station, this may be adjusted based on actual usage once the program is launched. • Other responsibilities: This includes any additional assignments required by the City, such as sign observation and maintenance , responding to adjudication or customer reports, or administrative work.

Following is the estimated number of technician hours per month by responsibility.

Finally, the City should also consider what type of warranty support is required from the technology vendors. Industry standard is a 1 -year repair or replace parts warranty, where the City will ship (City cost) inoperable parts to the vendor for repair or replacement (vendor cost).

Vendors will offer an extended warranty to continue the same warranty service for the use ful life of the equipment. It is recommended that C ity maintains the extended warranties as long as possible. This will reduce the variable costs of replacement parts and staff time required to repair any inoperable parts.

The tasks and components associated with maintenance and operations include:
 Hire 1 additional technician (City)
 Adjust Collection Standard Operating Procedure (City and/or Consultant)  Adjust Maintenance Standard Operating Procedure (City and/or Consultant)  Assign Sign Observation and Repair scope of work to City staff (City)  Analyze the collection frequency (City and/or Consultant)  Analyze the required number of technicians (City and/or Consultant)  Maintain hardware warranty (City)

Additional Considerations
DIXON has included the following topics for City consideration . While these do not relate specifically to the Roadmap, they are important aspects of a comprehensive parking program.

The City may consider creating more long- term goals, including assessing these items for future enhancement.
• Revenue Collection and Reconciliation
o The City currently utilizes internal resources for parking meter revenue collection, counting, and reconciliation.
o Recommendation: When the City moves to a pay station-only system, collections will be less onerous and frequent. The internal staff time for these activities may be repurposed to other responsibilities. The City should consider outsourcing this responsibility to a local bank for safer and more secure cash counting. This should include creating standard operating procedures for the collection and counting process.
• Citation and Permit Management System
o The City currently utilizes a vendor for citation issuance and management and manually manages a limited number of permits.
o Recommendation: As new technology is deployed, the City should review the contract with the vendor to ensure it is advantageous and provides the necessary functionality for the future. The current (or future) vendor may also provide a permit management sys tem, creating efficiencies through digital plate-based permits and online features.
• Parking Steering Committee
o The City currently operates the parking program across multiple departments including Public Work, Finance, and Police.
o Recommendation: The City should consider creating a Parking Steering committee that incorporates individuals from each department that is involved with parking operations. Additionally, other stakeholders could be included from City management or community organization s. Bring ing together and collecting feedback from a focused group creates an approach that brings success through c ollaboration and eases the challenges of implementing changes.

machine has been installed and appropriate signs and instructions noticed in the affected areas, all regulations of this Chapter or any other law or regulation of the City shall be applicable.

In the event parking meters are established as provided in this chapter along the curb adjacent to any parking space in such zones, the provisions of this chapter shall govern parking in such parking space; provided, however, that in the event no parking meters are installed in any parking space within said parking meter zones, the maximum time for parking in any such space shall be that which is permitted or provided for under the provisions of this Code or any other law or regulation of the City.

3.24.040 Parking meter rates.

A. Specifications. Parking meters may be installed in all or any part of the parking meter zones. Each parking meter shall be of such type as to display a graduated time dial, a signal or indicator to show the available parking time, and a red indicator signal (bearing the legend "Violation" or "Expired") to indicate when there is no unexpired time on the meter.

B. On-Street Parking Meter Rates. One of the coin and coin time combinations provided by this subsection shall be clearly indicated on each parking meter; provided, however, that the City Manager, with the approval of the Council, from time to time may change the coin and coin time combination of any parking meter from any coin and coin time combination to any other coin and coin time combination in such places in parking meter zones as may be determined by the City Manager, with the approval of the Council, to be necessary to the regulation, control and inspection of parking vehicles to provide for the best interests of the City and the citizens thereof, as established by the City's Fee Schedule Resolution.

C. Meter Placement. Meters shall be placed upon the curb or in back of a bumper rail alongside of and next to parking spaces.

D. Parking Spaces. Parking spaces shall be of sufficient size to accommodate an automobile and shall indicate parallel or diagonal parking by painted lines on the pavement.

E. Off-Street Parking Meter Rates. With respect to parking spaces in off-street parking lots either owned or leased by the City, one of the coin and coin time combinations provided by this subsection shall be clearly indicated on each parking meter; provided, however, that the City Manager, with the approval of the Council, from time to time may change the coin and coin time combination of any parking meter from any coin and coin time combination listed to any other coin and coin time combination in such places in parking meter zones as may be determined by the City Manager, with the approval of the Council, to be necessary to the regulation, control and inspection of parking vehicles to provide for the best interests of the City and the citizens thereof, as established by the City's Fee Schedule Resolution.

3.24.050 Deposit of coin.

Whenever any vehicle is parked in any space for which use is controlled by a parking meter or timed permits, the owner, operator, manager or driver of the vehicle, upon entering the space shall immediately deposit the proper coin or currency of the United States of America into the appropriate meter or permit vending machine.

The parking space may then be used by the vehicle during the parking limit provided by the meter for the coin deposited or until the time imprinted on the face of the permit expires. Permits must be properly displayed on the dashboard so that the expiration information is clearly visible through the windshield on the driver's or left side of the vehicle.

3.24.060 Parking meter violations.

A. It shall be unlawful for any person to cause, allow, permit, or suffer any vehicle to be parked overtime or beyond the lawful period of time as provided in this chapter or to remain parked in any parking space while a signal showing legal parking is not displayed by the adjacent parking meter. Parking shall be restricted to the Parking and Public Improvements Commission Meeting
August 20, 2026
42 of 50

maximum time allowable by the deposit of the proper coin or combination of coins for each meter or for such maximum period of time as shall be posted on a sign on such meter. Parking in excess of the time limit indicated on the sign posted on such meter shall be a violation of the provisions of this chapter.

B. It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or allo w any vehicle to remain parked in any parking space for which use is controlled by timed permits and for which a valid timed permit has not been purchased.

C. It shall be unlawful to permit or allow any vehicle to remain parked or left standing in or at the same location, parking space or parking meter zone for a period longer than the posted time limit whether or not coins are deposited or a valid timed permit is displayed.

D. In order to clarify the provisions set forth in subsection (C) of this section, and to assist in the interpretation thereof, the Council hereby declares that it has in mind the correction of abuse of the parking regulations whereby vehicles have been permitted by persons parking the same to cause such vehicles to stand in the same location, parking space, or parking meter zone for successive parking periods upon the payment of the coin deposit as is required in the particular area. This practice, the Council feels, adversely affects the interests and interferes with the general convenience, comfort, and welfare of the public in that this practice does not afford all citizens reasonable access to the parking spaces available in the highly commercial districts. In order to give all persons equal opportunity, the Council finds it in the best interests of the public and the citizens of this community to adopt this regulation providing that in any twenty-four (24) hour period one parking space shall only be used by the same vehicle for the maximum time provided in said area as indicated by the sign posted on said parking meter.

It shall be unlawful to permit or suffer any vehicle to remain parked or left standing in or at the same location, parking space or parking meter zone for a longer period than is designated by the time period set forth on the sign posted on said parking meter whether or not coins are deposited for periods beyond that stated upon the sign posted upon said parking meter itself. The Chief of Police, or any duly constituted or authorized police or parking control officer, is hereby directed to issue, or cause to be issued a notice of parking violation for each such violation. The Chief of Police, or any authorized police or parking control officer is further directed to cite, or cause to be cited, each and every period during which such violations exists according to the time limit as posted.

3.24.070 Time limits.

The provisions of this chapter relating to the operation of parking meters shall be effective only between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. each day of the week, including Sundays and holidays except for those meters or designated lots where specific times of enforcement are posted.

3.24.080 Use of substitute coins unlawful.

It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking meter any slug, device or metallic substitute for a one cent (1¢), five cent (5¢), ten cent (10¢) or twenty-five cent (25¢) coin of the United States of America or to deface, injure, tamper with, open or wilfully break, destroy or impair the usefulness of any parking meter.

3.24.170 Merchant parking permits.

The City is authorized to issue merchant parking permits to owners and employees of businesses located in Parking and Business Improvement District Area B and the Downtown Business Improvement District.

3.24.172 Appeals.

Any person whose permit or permits have been revoked under Section 3.24.170 of this chapter may file an appeal with the Parking and Public Improvements Commission. The appeal must be filed in writing with the City Clerk within fifteen (15) business days after the date of the notice of revocation. The Parking and Public Improvements Commission shall hold a public hearing at which it may decide to deny the appeal and uphold the revocation, to rescind the revocation and restore the permits, to conditionally restore the permits, or to restore the permits and levy an administrative fine, in lieu of revocation, not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or such other action as the Commission shall deem just and equitable under the circumstances.
