AGENDA TITLE: Introduce ordinance amending Title 10, Chapter 10.44, "Stopping, Standing,
and Parking," by adding Section 10.44.170 related to disabled parking
regulations
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2004
PREPARED BY: Jerry J. Adams, Chief of Police
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Council introduce ordinance amending Title 10, Chapter
10.44, "Stopping, Standing and Parking," by adding section
10.44.170 related to disabled parking regulations.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A new law was passed by the California Legislature for 2004 that
allows local municipalities to assess an additional $100 to the
current fine for violations of disabled parking laws. The law allows
municipalities to adopt such law by simple resolution of the City
Council. This amendment allows an additional penalty of one hundred dollars ($100.00) to be added to
any fines imposed for the violation of disabled parking related regulations set forth in Vehicle Code
Sections 4461 or 22507.8.
All revenue generated from the imposition of this additional penalty shall be used to improve the enforce-
ment of the provisions of the Vehicle Code relating to disabled parking spaces and placards within the
City of Lodi, and may not be used to supplant funds used for other general parking enforcement
purposes. It is anticipated that the additional $100 will amount to approximately $40,000.00 per year to
this special fund. The current fine for violations of disabled person parking is $275.00. With the new
assessment of $100.00, the total fine will be $375.00.
FUNDING: None
