REVENUE
NEW METERS AND RATE CHANGE
• Meter and Rate Change impact
• Expected to increased revenue from meters due to increased use and rate
• Rate change occurred in the summer of 2017
Meter Rentals
• The increased revenue from meter rentals is due to new construction projects at 500 East
College Ave and 254 East Beaver Ave.
• This income is not expected to continue after the 2018 budget cycle unless new projects go
online
Increased Rate
• Increases on-street parking from $1.00 per hour to $1.25 per hour started in the summer of
2017
• The rate increase is associated with a borrowing for upgrades throughout the Parking
Department as well as public spaces
Meter Violations
• Meter violations have decreased due to increased payment at meters
• Decrease in revenue expected due to compliance at new meters due to easier payment methods
• Improved collection process on violations and the process of transferring violations to the
magistrates office for quick processing

EXPENDITURES
SMART METER COSTS
Cost
• The associated costs with the new smart
meters will also continue in 2018
• Operating costs slightly increase due to the
selection of single space meters throughout
the majority of downtown
• Banking fees and wireless gateway fees
increase with the use of single space meters
because of credit card acceptance
• Parking meter’s housings scheduled to be
refurbished in 2018

pp. 133 - 139

9. 2018 OPERATING BUDGET | NOVEMBER 8, 2017
REVENUE
• Rate increases adopted in the 2017 Budget will impact
the 2018 Budget in a positive manner
• Council approved a rate increase that occurred on July 1, 2017 for the cost
of daily parking in surface lots and parking garages
• Garages and Surface Lots – The price increase in garages and the surface
lots has had the expected impact on revenue
• The Parking Fund will continue to benefit from the increase in the cost of
meter violations, which encourages patrons to pay at kiosks rather than risking
receipt of a violation

10. 2018 OPERATING BUDGET | NOVEMBER 8, 2017
EXPENDITURES
BANKING FEES
• Banking fees continue to be a large expense
• Parking processes over 500,000 credit card transactions annually
• The Department negotiated a lower rate from the vendor, Chase Payment Tech
• The PARCS system upgrade allows the Borough to stop storing credit card information on
our hosted server and to become PCI compliant with the garage equipment
INDIRECT COSTS
• Indirect Costs for the parking enterprise fund have increased by $213,000 since 2015
• This is due to a change in the allocation of interdepartmental costs associated with public
works, finance and information technology
DEBT SERVICE
• Total debt service for 2017 is $1.9 Million Dollars
• Representative of the payback schedule that the Parking Fund will face in future years
• Reflects the debt from parking upgrades and previous debt incurred with the construction
of Beaver Garage

• Install new PARCS equipment
• Perform sidewalk repairs at Pugh Street Garage
• Complete several structural repairs at Pugh Street Garage
