B. 1993 TDS Agreement for Processing of Parking Citations (page B-1)
C. City of Rancho Palos Verdes Ordinance No. 296 (page C-1)
BACKGROUND:
On November 23, 1993, the cities of Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, and
Rolling Hills entered into an agreement with Turbo Data Systems, Inc. (TDS) to perform
Parking Citation Administrative services (Attachment B). The decision to contract parking
citation administrative services resulted from a 1992 bill, Assembly Bill No. 408 (AB 408),
which decriminalized parking citations, removed processing parking citations from the
courts’ responsibility, and established an “administrative adjudication” system for these
1
CITYOF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
offenses. In addition, AB 408 extensively revised most of the California Vehicle Code
provisions related to issuing, processing, and collecting parking citations. As a result of
AB 408, cities could no longer rely on the courts for parking citation service s and were
required to assume this responsibility.
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes was in a similar situation as Rolling Hills and Rolling
Hill Estates, in which they did not have the personnel or expertise to take on this new
responsibility. Therefore, the three Peninsula cities partnered and entered into a joint
professional services agreement with TDS to provide these services on their behalf. Since
three cities entered into one contract, a lead agency was required. The City of Rolling
Hills Estates became the lead agency and liaison between the three Peninsula cities and
TDS.
On December 23, 1993, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes memorialized AB 408 and
added it to its Municipal Code Chapter 10.28 to title 10 called Parking Citation Procedures
(Attachment C).
DISCUSSION:
Over the past few years, it has come to the attention of the three Peninsula cities,
particularly Rolling Hills Estates, who currently is the lead agency, that nearly all the
parking citations issued and appealed were for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. This
can primarily be attributed to Rancho Palos Verdes being the largest city on the Peninsula
and having more regulated public parking spaces including at the various trailheads to
the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. The two tables below reflect parking citations issued
and appealed for 2020 and 2021 (to date) among all three Peninsula cities.
Parking Citations Issued
City 2020 2021
Rolling Hills 0 24
Rolling Hills Estates 58 1
Rancho Palos Verdes 2,205 2,528
Parking Citations Appealed
City 2020 2021
Rolling Hills 0 0
Rolling Hills Estates 7 1
Rancho Palos Verdes 96 37
In light of this, the amount of administration work performed by Rolling Hills Estates did
not equate to the number of parking citations issued and appealed by its agency. As a
result, the cities of Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, and Rolling Hills Estates agreed
that the contract should be amended to identify the City of Rancho Palos Verdes as the
lead agency and liaison between the three Peninsula cities and TDS.
2
Rancho Palos Verdes Staff began discussing amending the TDS contract with legal
counsel, and it was determined that it was outdated and did not align with the current
contract language and approval by TDS and all three cities. In addition, TDS needed to
provide a list of current “Scope of Services” and “Fees” for transparency purposes and to
ensure that all three agencies are aware of costs associated with the contract.
Thus, the City Council is being asked to approve a new Professional Services Agreement
with TDS and the cities of Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, and Rancho Palos Verdes
for the processing of parking citations (Attachment A) and to identify Rancho Palos
Verdes as the lead agency and liaison between the cities. The City Attorneys from Rolling
Hills, Rolling Hills Etates and Rancho Palos Verdes have reviewed and approved the
attached Professional Services Agreement.
If accepted, the transition of lead agency from Rolling Hills Estates to Rancho Palos
Verdes will be effective January 1, 2022. It should be noted that the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes will not charge an administrative fee to the cities of Rolling Hills Estates and
Rolling Hills primarily because parking citation services with these two cities is anticipated
to continue to be minimal.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Professional Services Agreement
(Attachment A) for the processing of parking citations.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for the
City Council’s consideration:
1. Do not approve the Professional Services Agreement with Turbo Data Systems,
Inc. and direct Staff to issue a request for proposals.
2. Direct Staff to decline becoming the lead agency and to renegotiate with the three
Peninsula cities.
3. Direct Staff to enter into a Professional Services Agreement solely between
Rancho Palos Verdes and TDS, thereby not including the cities of Rolling Hills and
Rolling Hills Estates.
4. Take other action, as deemed appropriate.

L.Out of State Citations - TDS shall process citations for non-California license plates by entering the
citation information into the system database and reporting them along with all other citations on the
database with the standard reports. If they become delinquent, requests for registered owner
information will be sent to the appropriate out-of-state DMV. The Notice of Intent will be generated
to the registered owner and the fine amount requested. TDS will incur all costs for out of state name
retrieval, including out-of-state DMV fees and charges. TDS will receive payment from Agency based on
the amount of revenues collected from out-of-state citations after the Notice of Intent has been
issued. This amount will be billed monthly for the prior months' receipts (as determined from our
database and/or reports). Payments collected via credit card will also incur credit card fees.
M.IVR and Web Payment Systems - Payment by Credit Card - Through the Interactive Voice Response
(IVR) System, and through the pticket.com web site, we accept credit card payments via Visa,
MasterCard and Discover. The systems authorize each transaction while the caller is on the phone
or online. Agencies are given an authorization number or email confirmation to confirm their
charge. The IVR system and the pticket.com web payment system both automatically update the
citation database with the payment immediately. Credit Card monies are paid to a Turbo Data
Systems bank account and are reconciled monthly. Each Agency receives their own credit card
postlog which shows in detail which citations were paid and for what amount, along with the deposit
slip from the bank or the ACH deposit email showing that these funds have been deposited into the
Agency’s account. Should there be any charge backs to a merchant account, the funds are pulled
directly from the Turbo Data master account and the citation will be reactivated, much like a
bounced check. The violator will be sent a notice and will then proceed to DMV hold. TDS will
provide all services regarding reconciliation, reactivation of charge backs, etc. Agency will not be
involved in the daily processing.
N.Administrative Adjudication Processing - TDS will provide for the processing of requests for
contesting citations, allowing for Agency processing of administrative reviews, tracking and
monitoring all relevant dates on an automated system, mailing timely notification to respondents
regarding the status of their claims, and scheduling of administrative hearings. All Administrative
Adjudication information entered into the system is done in real time and is linked to existing database
information to ensure proper tracking of relevant dates, mailing names and addresses and other
A-11

pertinent information. Administrative Review requests will be entered within 2 business days of receipt.
Adjudication documents will be stored for 2 years from their activity date and then shredded.
O.Paperless Appeals (eAppealsPRO & Scanning) – TDS will provide online appeal capability for the
public to appeal their citations online. TDS will provide the scanning of all mailed-in appeal
documents and electronic storage of those documents. TDS will provide an online application to
access the appeals, which will be searchable and sortable. TDS will keep an electronic history of
processed appeals for at least two years.
P.Online Inquiry Access for Agency's Staff - Access includes online access 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week for Agency personnel to inquire on Agency’s database. This access includes citation inquiry
(includes citation status, history status, administrative adjudication status, notes, etc.), the ability to
enter and view notes, post dismissals/payments, view daily deposits made at TDS’ facility and view
daily file transfers sent from the handheld ticket writer software and received at TDS’ facility. TDS’
technical staff will provide support. TDS will provide a real-time secured high-speed connection to
the citation database through the Agency's Internet connection.
Q.Additional Notices– TDS will mail Other Correspondence as required for processing.
