The Public Hearing Notice submitted for Monday, July 22, 2024, initially included Sec. 24-457, 24-467, 24-473 and 24-1004 through 24-1011.  The decision was made that 24-1007, 24-1008, 24-1009, and 24-1010 did not require amendments.

Article 24-1000 of the Billings, Montana City Code (BMCC) has not been reviewed or amended since approximately 1993. In the case of certain sections, it has been longer since there has been a review. Amendments are necessary to update the BMCC, to ensure proper alignment with Parking Division enforcement practices regarding violations, and to clarify procedures for those who wish to contest parking citations. Additionally, amendments are proposed that will consolidate the procedures for both issuance of citations and contesting citations in order to ensure uniformity among the various types of parking violations.
