From the minutes, not yet reviewedWhat it does
Changes City law (Chapter 19 of the City Code) to increase the parking fines for stopping, standing and parking violations.
- Passed with the routine items, in one vote, without discussion.
- The money, in the minutes' words: “It is now cheaper for someone to take a chance and stay all day at a metered on-street parking space instead of paying a total of $15.00 for the entire enforcement period.”
- Why it matters: City ordinances are local laws. Changing one changes the rules people and businesses must follow.
More from the minutes
- “The proposed parking fine increases (E / P) are shown below.”
- “With the proposed increases in the fine structure, the adjusted year end revenues could conceivably double.”
