- Submitted For:

SUBJECT:
Ordinance No. 16-016 - An Ordinance amending City Code Section 10-1 - Penalties to reference penalties established in Chapter 2 and Section 10-23 Regulations amending the payment and appeal process for parking citations. SECOND READING
SUMMARY:
With the high volume of visitors to the downtown and water front areas, the City has been experiencing parking congestion due to the limited number of parking spaces. In an effort to address this problem, enforcement of the established parking restrictions is necessary.
This ordinance amendment will move the processing of parking citations from the Clerk of Court to the City of Fort Pierce and, with the exception of repeat violators, hearings will now be heard by a Special Magistrate instead of a County Judge.
