TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU David Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Jeffrey C. Kirkpatrick, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL. CODE REVISIONS RELATING TO
PROPERLY DISPLAYING PARKING PERMITS
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Introduce Ordinance No.1590, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEAL
BEACH REVISING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING AT MOTOR
VEHICLE PARKING LOTS, AND AMENDING TITLE 8 (VEHICLES AND
TRAFFIC) OF THE SEAL BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE, adding language
requiring vehicles in parking lots to properly display permits. Instruct staff to
schedule for second reading and adoption at next regular City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND:
At this time, the Seal Beach Municipal Code does not contain language
specifically requiring parking permits to be properly displayed. This omission from
the current code affects the ability of officers to enforce parking regulations when
permits are displayed improperly.
The proposed revision will add a new sub section "C" to 8.20.010. The City
Attorney has reviewed the Ordinance and has approved it as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The potential negative or positive fiscal impacts of the proposed Municipal Code
amendment, if any, would be minor.
