apperantly th ecity paid $23 000 a month before getting that reduction. Total to this date the city has paid more than one million dollars in support fees. One may wonder how much they paid to get that parking garage constructed.

But it wasn't simply a "reduction." The city formerly paid $23,000 to have the garage fully operated, and now pays $5500 for the right to use the software and operate the garage itself.
