The Town Commission voted Aug. 20 to synchronize most parking fines across town at $75, while retaining a $100 fine for handicap-parking violations.
Key points: Town attorney Ryan Knight pointed to an existing town parking code (section 30‑42) that already makes signs enforceable where official signs prohibit parking. Commissioners discussed that some neighborhood signs have unofficial stickers or ad‑hoc resident additions that complicate enforcement; staff agreed to replace or standardize signs so enforcement is consistent and to include the ordinance citation on new signs.
Vote: Commissioner Anna Butler moved to set a uniform parking citation amount (excluding handicap citations) to $75; the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: Consistent fines and official signage help police enforce parking regulations and reduce confusion. The change also aligns the town’s fine schedule and makes enforcement equitable across categories.
Next steps: Public works will inventory official parking signs, replace unofficial stickers or non‑town signs with standardized town signage that includes the ordinance citation, and coordinate with police on enforcement procedures.
