Summary

The board recommended release of an RFP to replace the village's parking and citation management software and requested vendors include optional curb‑management and mobile/virtual‑meter capabilities; trustees clarified issuing the RFP is informational and does not itself enact paid parking.

Trustees recommended staff release an RFP to replace the village's parking and citation management system and to solicit vendor proposals that include optional curb‑management and mobile/virtual meter capabilities.

Trustee Stokgren moved the recommendation and Trustee Arndorffer seconded. Trustees corrected a calendar inconsistency in the draft — changing the proposals due date to December 5 — and voted to send the RFP to the board with that amendment.

Captain Santiago and staff emphasized that issuing the RFP does not adopt a paid‑parking policy or authorize meters; it simply seeks information and vendor solutions so the village can evaluate possible options. Staff said vendors commonly support both citation/permit management and mobile parking features, which is why the RFP asks for those capabilities to be described but does not commit the village to deploy them.

The board endorsed the RFP by voice vote (6–1), with one trustee recording a dissenting vote on proceeding at this time; staff will publish the corrected RFP and accept proposals in early December.
