7. Also consider LPR for more effective and efficient enforcement of the

remaining on and offstreet timelimited spaces.

8. If LPR is implemented prior to the installation of meters, it is

recommended to defer on the decision on meters for a few years for

adequate time to assess the effectiveness of LPR.

9. Have Genetec (AutoVu) and Tannery Creek Systems (autoChalk)

demonstrate their systems to the city prior to receiving bids.
