Title
An ordinance relating to the operation of city-owned parking facilities.
Analysis
This ordinance removes the current code provision that the operations of all city-owned parking facilities be contracted to private contractors, and gives the commissioner of the department of public works the discretion to directly operate and provide all or part of parking services for city-owned parking facilities.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 309-61-1-a of the code is repealed and recreated to read:
309-61. Operation of Parking Facilities.

The operations of city-owned permanent parking structures and non-permit, non-metered city-owned surface parking lots may, solely at the discretion of the commissioner of public works, be managed by the city, or managed by a private contractor under contract with the city or through a lease agreement. Management contracts and lease agreements may be for part or all operations at a parking facility.
Part 2. Section 309-61-1-c of the code is amended to read:
c. All contracts for managing city permanent parking structures [[shall]]>>may<< specify that the management firm must contract for and provide mobile, uniformed security guard service in all of the structures. The security guards must drive in marked security vehicles which display a yellow/amber light on the top of the vehicle to be easily identifiable by parking patrons. The guards must patrol all ramps with the vehicle and must walk into and check each of the structures' stairwells during their tours of duty. Each guard must carry a portable radio with communication capabilities to at least one cashier per structure and to a 24 hour security base station for additional backup if required.
