Chief Rogers told council the city's new parking ticket form and fine schedule, previously approved by council, went into effect and was deployed in the field on Aug. 27. Council members asked whether police had refused to break up short‑term rental parties; Chief Rogers said he was not aware of any instances where the department refused to respond and that the department responds and takes action as appropriate.

Why it matters: Parking-ticket schedules affect enforcement, revenue and parking behavior in the city. Chief Rogers' update indicates the new fines are active and enforceable in the field.

Next steps: Council will continue oversight of parking enforcement through committee inquiries and public feedback.
