Description of the Research and Development of the Street Sweeper Photo Enforcement Program
Summary
The Inspector General’s Office initiated an investigation into whether funds were wasted during the research and development of the street sweeper photo enforcement program, which would involve mounting cameras on the City’s street sweepers in order to automatically issue tickets for parked vehicles obstructing regularly scheduled street sweeping.
Executive Summary
During the investigation, the IGO interviewed current and former City employees involved in the development of program. The interviewees included a representative of the Department of Fleet Management responsible for procuring City vehicles and equipment, two representatives of the Department of Administrative Hearings (DAB) responsible for the adjudication of the parking violations issued via the street sweeper cameras, and a representative of the Mayor’s Office who chaired project development meetings and ultimately contacted the representatives of the various departments developing the project, as well as a vendor hired to carry out the project, and informed them that the project was being be put on hold.
