Recommendation to request City Auditor to conduct a review of the City's 25 parking structures and lots to verify the number that collect cash and are not automated. For those lots and structures that are on a cash basis, the City Council requests a report documenting the controls that are currently in place to ensure all cash is being deposited securely and timely into the City's treasury and to make recommendations as warranted that will benefit the ongoing operation of our parking lots and structures. The City Council is further requesting information on the timetable regarding the City's plans to convert the cash lots into automated lots and any other information the City Auditor deems necessary to ensure the City's parking operations are protected from any potential fraud, waste, or abuse during this transition period.
Motion carries. 46. Communication from Councilwoman Price, Councilmember Supernormal Councilwoman Mongo recommendation to request the city auditor to conduct a review of the city's 25 parking structures and lots to verify the number that collect cash and are not automated. Councilwoman Price. Thank you. I'm asking for my colleagues support on this item. I'm not sure how many parking lots would actually fall into this, but based on some of our recent actions and some of the concerns that came to light, I think it's it's only prudent and responsible for us to have the city auditor take a look at what exposure we have, if there is any exposure to risk, and how we can eliminate or mitigate that. So that's really what this item is about. And I thank you in advance for your support. Thank you, Councilman Mongo. I would only add that I know lots is a word that can be interpreted in many ways, and I wanted to include any type of place where you're paying for parking such as Eldorado Park or the such, that have multiple places to park, but are also very risky in terms of cash collection and potential liability. Thank you. Mike. I want to also add, I actually love this item, especially because I want to just particularly Miss Dowd because I complained about it so many times. The. Cash collection that happens at Eldorado is ridiculous. And I hope maybe since I've been complaining, I don't know if it's changed since then, but I've been complaining about it for a few years and there's still absolutely no change. It's as simple as buying a little scanner for a phone so that we can take actual credit cards and debit. But if we can please specifically, I'm especially interested in the Eldorado Park cash debacle that happens. And when and when folks don't have cash, we then produce a line that goes out the park all the way down the street, and in fact, people turn away and we lose money because they don't want to get in line and because they you know, they have no they only have a card. So we basically turn away customers every weekend. And I see it happen every time I go catch Mongo. And I would only add that I've had extensive discussions with our new parking lot company that we just approved about Eldorado Park and their potential for offering us a public private partnership opportunity where they would be willing to implement anything. So perhaps dialog with them might be also helpful in this in the course of your study. Thank you. Thank you for inviting any public comment on this. Sir. Be careful, sir. At the senior center on Orange. We pay a yearly fee and pay in park. Shit. You okay? I'm fine. All right. Okay. Okay. That's your phone. Okay, there's a yes. Just grab a seat there for a little bit, sir. Okay, mate. There's a motion and a second. Please cast your votes. $17 fee. For the year. Motion carries. Thank you. We will now move on to the second second public comment period. Sir, are you doing okay? This is now the bad shoes. Okay, you're okay. But I know that you've been waiting all day to speak. Are you okay? It's important. It's bad. Okay. Okay. Any new business from the council? Vice Mayor Richardson.
