The Fountain City Police/Personnel & Health/Safety Committee discussed updates to Ordinance #33 on Sept. 4 that would change fines related to parking restrictions and nuisance or junked motor vehicles.
Committee members agreed to increase all existing $15 fines to $30 and to raise the fine for parking in a handicapped space to $250. Mayor Ben Adank said he will refer the proposed ordinance language to the city attorney for further legal review before the committee or council takes final action.
The minutes record the committee's agreement rather than a final ordinance adoption; the next steps are legal review by the city attorney and subsequent council consideration. The minutes do not specify an effective date, enforcement plan or funding for any administrative costs associated with enforcement.
