Unlike some cities, our parking officers have to do a lot of other things as well, like direct traffic.

If an operator is involved in a second avoidable accident within 12 months, they are required to receive an additional 16 hours of training. Operators who have had three collisions or more within the last 12 months, avoidable or unavoidable, may be required to attend our five-day, 40-hour Refresher Training class depending on the nature of the accidents.

I think it was an important and a very constructive dialogue. The operators talked about how they felt, that they felt they had all been impugned, that the integrity of everyone working there (had been hurt.) The mayor made it very clear that it was not his intention.
