DATE:
June 25, 2001
TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:
John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM
City Attorney's Office
SUBJECT:
Adoption of Resolution for Parking Fines
SUMMARY OF REOUEST:
Report seeks Council approval of a resolution to adjust fines for parking violations within the
City of Seal Beach.
BACKGROUND:
Consistent with Council action to adopt a Parking Citation Processing Ordinance at the last
meeting, Council must also approve a schedule for parking fines. California Vehicle Code
§40203.5(a) grants Council the authority to establish these fines. The text of California Vehicle
Code §40203.5(a) includes the statement that "to the extent possible, issuing agencies within the
same County shall standardize parking penalties".
Staff has researched parking fines of similar cities in Los Angeles and Orange County (Long
Beach, Manhattan Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa and Laguna Beach).
Based on that research the fines on the attached schedule are being proposed. While there are
some minor increases, overall rates are consistent with the County averages. The costs
associated with processing parking citations as well as the costs that are mandated to be paid to
the County and State have been factored into these calculations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is estimated that these fees, with these minor increases, will generate approximately $50,000 of
additional revenue to the City of Seal Beach.
RECOMMENDATION:
After conducting a public hearing, Council adopt the resolution to establish a parking fine fee
schedule and that the fines established be included as a portion of the comprehensive fee
schedule for the City.
