“Do we want to allocate any funds to this, to that plan? I think that, I mean, I would prioritize this. I mean, I would ask my colleagues to look into it, but I think it's really important for our city.”

“You have Sunset and you have the perpendicular streets as well. So don't forget about those. We have 58th, 58th Court, and then 57th Court. So just make sure we don't forget those. Some of those will be. Some of them will be on the south side. I would say on the east side. The ones that don't touch what you're saying.”

“Mayor, I don't know if I completely understand the math and all that yet. Neither, so I'm just. Okay, yeah, because what I'm seeing is the cap hit of $800,000 and the max $1.6 million. I don't know how it changes with the millage, especially on the GOB, whatever. I don't understand it yet, so I'll just reserve and I'm going to go research. I don't know.”

“Thank you for the presentation I much appreciate it what is the typical installation for the hardware on the sensors how do you install that?”
City Commission · Jun 9, 2026

“And what's the distance between sensors on a long road, for example? How often do you want to have them, like any five, 10 spots?”

“AND THE WAY YOU DEPLOY IN THESE SPECIFIC CITIES IS JUST AN API YOU ATTACH TO THEIR PLATFORM AND IT'S ONLY SPECIFIC IN THOSE AREAS?”

“And maybe after this, maybe you can send us through somehow a demo of how the GUI actually works through the platform, how easy it is to find. And then obviously, you know, if we do decide to move forward with this, the ability to market this is going to be pretty big. I'm not really sure on the ROI yet, and I really kind of want to study that, but I would want to understand the go-to-market strategy and how do we get more people adapting to this. I just wanted to see what it looks like and how we can adapt it. I appreciate it.”

“The hardware is individually on each parking. Is that what it was like a small beacon?”
City Commission · Jun 9, 2026

“But if you want individual spaces allocation, you would need to put it on each spot, right? Each parking spot?”

“And do you have a cost structure on this? I don't remember seeing that in the presentation.”

“So, okay. Yeah. I mean, we do have a lot of parking spots. So, I mean, we allocate 1,200 to 1,500 spots. You know, order of magnitude, we want to understand, like, what that would look like. I understand the first year. I mean, I just don't understand the cost structure. But if you can give us an example, that would be great to understand that.”

“Yeah, sorry. Go for it. I was going to say, the last question I had was that you need to download the app that you guys have? Or is it fully integrated with what people are already using for parking?”

“I would say, Mayor, that I struggle with the ROI right now. I know it's a city of pleasant living type of thing where we can make facilities, and I love it. I think we should add it just to the discussions as we continue with budget. I just don't know where the priority lies this year coming up, but we can discuss it.”

“I'd rather look at some more information. I requested some information. GUI, understand how the interconnections are. The second one, Joppa, I just asked, the integrations, if it's paid by phone or not, versus the Joppa app and how that works. I just want to see that, because if we're not going to have people using it, it's kind of a waste of time.”

“Well, I think we are. I think we requested for some information. Okay, great. Fair enough.”

“So when I toured the facilities and we reviewed a lot of the things that were being discussed and I met with the management group and did a tour, the facility looks great. The hospital is going to be fantastic. I can't wait for you guys to open. But we did speak about those three things, right? So the enclosures and the louvers have been taken care of. The front piping system has been taken care of and the east side corridor has not. So an eight foot tree, which you want to stand up again, that's not a lot, right? And what we spoke about when I spoke with you and the team was that we were…”

“Director, it would have been something that we're trying to do as much mature landscaping as we can. Is it something feasible that we can require? And I'm not telling you to throw these trees away, so just hear me out for a second. On the west side, we have a fence wall that lines and is neighbors with the apartment buildings. We don't have any hedge or landscaping on that particular fence. Is that accurate? Correct. Okay. Is it feasible? I'm just here trying to amend what my colleague wants here. Is it feasible for us to put those eight footers and kind of spread it across the back and fill…”
