- Presentation, discussion and possible action regarding Parking Control Officer (PCO) Deployment Plan. (Joy Houlihan, Deputy Director, Enforcement Division)
Joy Houlihan discussed enforcement and deployment of resources that she presented at the January 11, 2011 Policy and Governance (PAG) committee meeting. Information she presented included: smart deployment of field resources; utilizing technology and tools available; implementation of a more fluid and flexible staff; accountability; safety; and leadership development.
Ms. Houlihan stated that there are 265 Parking Control Officers (PCOs), who cover 78 beats and 27 areas of residential parking and 24 supervisors, on a 24/7 operation basis. During the weekends, staffing is reduced. Ms. Houlihan stated that there are periodic reviews of beats to look at staffing and to ensure there is “right sizing” providing coverage where needed. Issues the Enforcement Division has recognized are: policy inconsistencies and performance measures for accountability; work environment and office space needs; staff development and in-service training. Ms. Houlihan stated long-term recommendations are: deployment study needed to establish a collaborative cross department; to examine overlapping beat boundary areas; technology and staff resources.
Ms. Houlihan stated short-term recommendations include: improving internal communication; vacation time-off policy; overtime procedures; supervisor accountability; and tools and technique skills development program in the Enforcement Division. She stated that there is not a lot of turnover, but the Division has lost 21 staff members in the past year.
Ms. Houlihan stated that staff is evaluating yellow zone-split areas at four areas: 1) Post Street, 200 block, both sides; 2) California Street, 200 block; 3) Mason Street, 500 block; and 4) Ellis Street, 200 block, north side. Instead of the yellow block being enforced all day, this split zone area would become a towaway zone after 3:00 p.m.
