CC - Item 3L - Parking Violation Bail Increase•
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ANDREW C. LAZZARETTO, CITY MANAGER
DATE: NOVEMBER 28, 2006
SUBJECT: PARKING VIOLATION BAIL INCREASE
SUMMARY
On November 14, 2006, staff was directed to bring back for City Council consideration a
new parking violation bail schedule which sets Rosemead's fine for Yard Parking and
Street Sweeping infractions at $25.00, and also adjusts all other parking violation bail
amounts to a level equal with that of Los Angeles County.
In total, the City has eighty-three (83) parking violations bail amounts that directly
correlate with ordinances enforced by Los Angeles County in neighboring
unincorporated areas. Of those eighty-three parking violations, only seven have a
different bail amount, and four of the seven have a difference of only $2.00. One of the
seven has a bail amount that is $10.00 more than Los Angeles County penalties, while
the remaining two are the Yard Parking and Street Sweeping penalties described
above.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2006-37 (Attachment
A), which would adjust the parking violation bail amount for Yard Parking and Street
Sweeping infractions to $25.00 and bring all other parking violation bail amounts into
alignment with Los Angeles County.
ANALYSIS
Attachment B includes a listing of all parking violation bail amounts for Los Angeles
County and for the City. In total, the City has eighty-three (83) parking violation bail
amounts that directly correlate with parking violations enforced by Los Angeles County
in neighboring unincorporated areas. Of those eighty-three bail amounts, only seven of
those violations have different bail amounts, which include the following:
