The Jefferson City Council on Monday night approved a measure 8-2 that would allow a private company to oversee its parking operations.

The city approved a five-year contract with PCI Municipal Services LLC. The total contract costs $4,844,312, with $645,000 being spent in its first year.  

Meeting documents indicate the city is looking to improve utilizing its existing parking as it loses the Madison Street garage, which is being demolished along with a number of buildings on a city block as the city aims to open a conference center downtown.
