Council begins first reading on parking fines update; boot fee discussion deferred
Summary
Council held first consideration of an ordinance updating Chapter 23 on parking fines, impoundment and immobilization; councilors questioned whether the fee for removing an immobilization device (boot) should be increased and staff said the current fee is $50 and the topic may be addressed later in an updated fee schedule.
The council considered first reading of an ordinance Nov. 17 that would amend Chapter 23 of the City Code governing parking fines, impoundment and immobilization. Council members raised questions about the fee charged to remove an immobilization device (boot) and whether a tiered fee schedule should apply for repeat offenders.
Staff (Marcy) confirmed the current removal fee is $50 and said any structural increases or tiered approach would likely be addressed when the city updates its fee schedule in May or June. Council asked staff to take a note to examine the boot fee as part of that larger fee schedule update.
The ordinance passed first consideration; no public comments were recorded on the item. Further fee details and any tiers will be considered later when fees are reviewed comprehensively.
