(a) The purpose of this chapter is to provide for a pilot program that utilizes automated parking enforcement systems to record covered offenses and enforce parking regulations within the pilot area. The program shall be administered by the Department of Transportation and Department of Finance. The program shall be enforced through a system of administrative adjudication within the Department of Administrative Hearings. (b) The Mayor, the Chief Financial Officer, the Comptroller, and the Commissioner are each authorized, severally or jointly, to negotiate, execute, and deliver any and all agreements, contracts, cost reimbursement or revenue-sharing partnerships, or instruments (for purposes of this subsection, collectively referred to as “contractual arrangements”) as the executing officer shall deem necessary, advisable, or appropriate in connection with the implementation of the pilot program established under this chapter, and to take all additional actions as necessary or appropriate to carry out the pilot program. Should the Smart Street Pilot Program be extended or made permanent, each authorized officer specified in this subsection may, severally or jointly, extend any such contractual arrangement, as the executing officer shall deem necessary, advisable, or appropriate, until such time as a new contractual arrangement is duly entered into. (c) The Commissioner and the Traffic Compliance Administrator, in consultation with the Office of Emergency Management and Communications and the Department of Police, shall adopt rules as may be necessary for the proper administration and enforcement of this chapter. (d) Prior to the installation of an automated parking enforcement system, the Commissioner shall notify the alderman of the ward in which the automated parking enforcement system is to be installed and solicit a recommendation for the location of such installation based on the alderman's analysis of any relevant factors.
