STAFF REPORT
The Public Buildings Division is inputting data on the Parking Control
Enforcement Program into the City's computer. There are a tremendous amount
of unpaid citations from habitual offenders.
In order to purge the system of the large volume of outstanding
citations, Wayne Overstreet has proposed that an amnesty program be
implemented. Under this program, the $13.00 late charge would be waived,
as an incentive for persons with unpaid citations to come in and pay the
fine. This program would be in effect for a short period of time before
the "boots" are placed in service.
Advantages of an amnesty program are:
1. Purge Parking Enforcement Program of outstanding citations.
2. Generate immediate revenue (perhaps $50,000).
Disadvantages would be:
1. Penalize persons who comply by paying citations promptly.
We recommend that the proposed amnesty program be referred to the
Legislative Review Committee for consideration.
