8. Solutions, Resolutions and Lessons Learned from Seawall Parking GLO continued position of no acceptance of ‘enforcement costs’ as legitimate BUF. All other expenses (mostly) accepted as legitimate BUF – program costs self contained. Program generated $300,000 to the City in revenues. Call Center was necessary to handle volume of in coming calls through the pay by phone system. Call center helped increase revenue tremendously. Ambassadors are ‘mobile meters’. Pay by Phone alone is not feasible. Must be complemented with alternate payment methods. Cash payments still a problem. Seawall divided into 4 zones. Needed more ambassadors for 7 mile stretch of seawall. Envisioned as P/T, Seasonal labor- but service mandates a core of F/T positions
