Summary

Public safety staff proposed updating the fine schedule and clarifying front-yard parking language; council introduced ordinance 881 and 882 to update the uniform traffic code and related parking regulations.

Public Safety Director Joe Shide presented proposed amendments to the uniform traffic code at the Feb. 23 meeting, including a standardized $25 parking citation to align with neighboring communities and clarified language regarding front-yard parking.

Shide said some front-yard parking provisions had migrated into zoning and were not clearly located in the parking enforcement section; the proposed change would create a consistent citation structure and define front-yard parking enforcement. Council moved and voted to introduce ordinance 881 (front-yard parking/fine schedule) and ordinance 882 (related amendments); both items were introductions only and will return for further consideration in two weeks.
