City dismisses handicapped-parking citation after resident says placard fell and disintegrated
Summary
Ron McNeil told the magistrate his disabled parking placard had fallen to the floor and disintegrated; the city agreed to dismiss the handicapped-parking citation under section 17-42, and Magistrate Jacob Schumer accepted the dismissal.
At a Code Enforcement hearing the city dismissed a handicapped-parking citation against Ron McNeil after the respondent said his parking placard had fallen to the floor and was disintegrated. McNeil told the magistrate he lives a block away and that the placard had become damaged; he said, "My parking ticket is all disintegrated." The city moved to dismiss and the magistrate accepted that dismissal.
Schumer took the city's acceptance of dismissal on the record and closed that docket item without further sanction; the magistrate noted the statutory requirement to display a placard but accepted the city's determination that the evidence supported dismissal. McNeil was excused at the hearing.
