The City Council delayed a vote on whether or not to shift from a five-day parking enforcement to a seven-day parking enforcement to its September 10 meeting, according to city spokeswoman Elisa Cox.
The item had been on the Council's Tuesday meeting agenda.
The City agreed to a contract to enforce its overnight parking rules with a company called Inter-Con in April, but "later noted" that the contract was for just five days a week rather than seven, according to the city's staff report.
The options laid out for the Council for Tuesday's meeting were to either move to seven days a week via Inter-Con, keep the existing five day contract or hire additional police cadets to do the extra enforcement.
The city is averaging about four tickets a day but staff believes it could average 16 with the full-time enforcement, according to the staff report. With that level of enforcement, staff estimates the city could bring in about $149,000 in annual revenue.
Inter-Con also handles parking enforcement in Pasadena, Alhambra, South Pasadena, San Gabriel, La Verne, Glendora and Covina. The company hires and trains its own personnel.
Discussion of whether Inter-Con is too aggressive in writing tickets came up back in 2009 when the City of Pasadena was discussing whether or not to renew their contract.
