RE: DISCUSSION OF PARKING TICKETS TOPIC: (23,35,,,PARKING TICKETS,PARKING, PARKING ORDINANCE) Stephen discussed parking tickets. He did not have the Ordinance ready but would like to review the tickets with the council. Because we are about out of tickets he would like a motion to proceed with the new fees for the new tickets prior to passing the Ordinance. He had a copy of the ticket from Leesburg, Virginia. He had gone over it with the Police Department and they all feel like the fees are very reasonable. The Handicapped Parking ticket was just reset a couple of months ago and they felt we should leave it as it is. He listed the Violation and Penalty: Overtime Parking $10.00 Parking on a Sidewalk 15.OD Parking in Front of a Driveway 15.00 Parking within 20 feet of an intersection 15.00 Parking with 15 feet of a fire hydrant 25.00 Parking on a crosswalk 15.00 Par)cing on a yellow line 15.00 Handicapped parking only 30.00 Parking in a Fire Lane 25.00 !~ f 42 Parking without authorization 15.00 Parking on wrong side of street 15.00 Parking within 15 feet of a fire or rescue station 25.00 Parking in a no parking zone 15.00 Parking Commercial Vehicle in residential zone in excess of two hours 15.00 Other They are proposing that this ordinance would take it out of the Criminal Code and put it in the Civil Code. Stephen explained if you do not pay the penalty within the first 15 days it would double: if you do not pay within 30 days it would triple; if you do not pay it with 45 days it would be turned over to Civil Collection which is the process we are using right now. Discussion on speeding in school zones. Stephen told the council that would have to be addressed in a separate Ordinance and treated under a Criminal Code. A motion was made by Kay Beck that we accept the recommendation as proposed by Stephen for violations and penalties as listed by Stephen and direct Police Department to get the tickets made up; to also direct Stephen to draft the ordinance.
