Maywood approves villagewide parking-permit program and raises fine to $45
Summary
The Village of Maywood approved a paid parking-permit program for residents (annual $200, biannual $100) and raised the parking fine from $35 to $45 to improve compliance; implementation details will be handled by police and public-works staff.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees voted to adopt a villagewide parking-permit program and to raise the municipal parking fine to $45.
Chief Valdimir Talley Jr. briefed trustees on MPD Proposal No. 18, which authorizes annual resident permits at $200 or biannual permits at $100 and seeks the fine increase to encourage compliance. Trustee N. Booker moved the permit program; Trustee M. Lightford seconded. The permit motion carried with all members present voting aye. A separate motion to increase the parking fine from $35 to $45, moved by Trustee M. Lightford and seconded by Trustee K. Wellington, also passed unanimously.
The board did not set a start date in the discussion recorded; Chief Talley provided a preliminary explanation of the request and asked staff to return with implementation details and enforcement procedures. The record notes the change is intended to support compliance rather than to target a particular neighborhood.
Trustees and staff framed the vote as administrative: no ordinance number or amended code language was referenced on the record. The board will consider operational rules and permit distribution during follow-up staff work and future agenda items.
