CC - Item 7E - Increase Parking Citation Fees By $3.00 For Parking Citation Surcharges Implemented by AB 1617ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER
DATE: OCTOBER 26. 2010
SUBJECT: INCREASE PARKING CITATION FEES BY $3.00 FOR PARKING
CITATION SURCHARGES IMPLEMENTED BY AB 1617
SUMMARY
On October 9, 2010 the State legislature approved the fiscal 2010 -11 budget. Along
with the budget, the legislature approved AB 1617 which addresses court system
funding shortages. The bill levies a $3.00 parking citation surcharge and is in addition
to an existing parking citation surcharge of $4.50, also to support court system costs.
Operationally, cities must transmit $7.50 ($4.50 plus $3.00) to the Court Trust Fund for
each parking citation collected AB 1617 becomes effective 60 days after the Governor
signs the budget and sunsets July 1, 2013.
The States' intended use of the surcharge revenue to pay court system costs makes the
connection between the parking violator and the court system. Therefore, the burden of
the surcharge should be passed on to the parking violator in the form of higher parking
citation fees and not subsidized by the City's taxpayers.
Staff Recommendation
Staff is recommending an increase to all Rosemead parking citation fees of $3.00 per
citation (Attachment A)
FINANCIAL REVIEW
AB 1617 requires cities to transmit $3.00 per parking citation collected The City
collects approximately 10,000 citations per year; therefore, without increasing the
parking citation fees, AB 1617 would mandate the City to pay an estimated $30,000
from General Fund revenues to the Court Trust Fund each year.
