Mayor Reid told the council that an executive order remitting municipal fines, fees and costs, in effect from April 5 through Dec. 31, 2024, resulted in $884,504 in relief across 3,609 cases.

According to the mayor’s description, the order applies to municipal fees associated with most non-DUI traffic tickets, misdemeanor possession of marijuana and class C misdemeanors. Reid said eligibility was limited to fines and fees assessed before Jan. 1, 2014.

Reid framed the order as part of a broader approach to justice that aims to reduce long-term financial consequences for residents and to support behavior change rather than strictly punitive measures.

The council did not record additional votes tied to this report during the meeting; the mayor presented the figures as summary information about a 2024 initiative.
