BACKGROUND:
This report presents parking tag issuance for the first quarter of 1998. The number of
parking tags issued is reported separately for Parking Enforcement Officers, police
constables and Municipal Law Enforcement Officers.
Parking enforcement projections are only provided for Parking Enforcement staff managed
by the Parking Enforcement Unit. The 1998 projection of 2,300,000 remains unchanged
from the previous year.
Issuance by police constables and Municipal Law Enforcement Officers (MLEO) was
estimated based on factors likely to affect their work environment. MLEO issuance is
subject to fluctuation and the estimate was maintained at 221,000 marginally below 1997
actuals. Issuance estimates for police constables has been maintained at 40,000, based on
actual 1996 and 1997 levels.

First quarter issuance exceeds 1997 by five percent, largely due to improved issuance by
Parking Enforcement staff. A more detailed break-down of issuance follows. It should be
noted that the individual group totals will not reconcile with the above totals due to factors
encountered during processing .

The Parking Enforcement Unit has delivered higher issuance for each of the first three
months, when compared with 1997. The Unit's rate of issuance is marginally below the
levels required to meet its 1998 anticipated level. At this point staff feel confident that the
difference can be accommodated by year-end.

approximately 23 per cent compared with the same period last year. There are no immediate
reasons known for this change and staff will continue to monitor the trend.
