BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the June 21, 2000 City Council meeting, the Downtown Lodi Business Partnership (DLBP) and City staff presented several parking solutions for the downtown area, including increased parking fines. The intent of increasing the parking fines is to encourage employees to park in the assigned permit areas and not in the time -restricted (2 -hour) areas. City Council concurred with our recommendations and now it's necessary to bring this item back for Council to adopt a resolution. The current fine for parking "overtime" is $8.50. As mentioned at the last Council meeting, the DLBP recommends increasing the fine to $15.00. The DLBP also recommends increasing the fine for parking in a permit area without a proper permit from $12.00 to $24.00. Staff contacted several agencies and their fines and our recommendations are shown on the attached Exhibit A. The Lodi Superior Court Judges have reviewed our recommendations and concur with the bail modifications. After the Judges officially process the modified bail schedule, new citation books will be ordered. The new fines will not go into effect until the new books arrive, in approximately six weeks. FUNDING: Funding from the Finance Administration Account for 200 citation books (5,000 citations total) will cost approximately $1,000.
