Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Commission Members
FROM: Laurae Clark, Treasurer
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Delinquent Parking Ticket Collection Contract with Municipal Service
Bureau.
MEETING DATE: May 11, 2009
RECOMMENDATION: Approve City Manager’s signature on agreement for parking ticket
collection services with Municipal Service Bureau.
BACKGROUND: The city has about 15-20% of parking citations that go uncollected after
tickets, delinquent notices and municipal infractions have been issued. Often times this is a
result of being unable to locate the customer due to an old address on file with the Department of
Motor Vehicle. We are hoping that the Municipal Service Bureau (MSB) will be able to more
successfully track down and collect some of these tickets. The Municipal Court currently has a
contract with them for collection their delinquent accounts and highly recommended them to us.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Increase in the collection of delinquent parking tickets. The City will
receive 100% of the outstanding ticket amount collected by MSB. MSB will add a collection fee
of $30.00 per item collected to cover their costs.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
