The Parking Services Program is organized into two divisions: Police Parking Enforcement and Public Works Parking Administration/Maintenance. The following is a description of the services provided by each division.

Parking Enforcement & Management This division is managed by the Police Department. It has five enforcement officers and three clerical staff who are responsible for the processing of over 56,000 parking citations issued per year and for the collection, processing and disposition of parking citations and fines. During the summer months, two additional temporary enforcement officers are hired.

 The officers enforce all parking regulations, remove traffic hazards, monitor abandoned vehicles, and oversee the department's "boot" program.  (The "boot" is a locking device attached to the tire of a vehicle belonging to habitual parking offenders who have five or more un-paid parking tickets.)

All parking personnel are equipped and trained to provide immediate field support during major incidents, disasters and traffic/crowd control situations. For Parking Enforcement and Management related questions, please call (949) 497-0355.

Parking Maintenance

This division is managed by the Public Works Department. It has three full time employees who maintain over 2,100 meters each year. This includes installation and replacement as well as the daily collection of coins. The staff also manages the two-hour parking permit machines in two City parking lots as well as four change machines. Maintenance of meters and parking permit machines in the six City-owned public parking lots and the Glenneyre Parking Garage is the responsibility of this division.  For Parking Maintenance questions, please call (949) 497-0450.
