SUMMARY:
BACKGROUND
On May 28, 2025, the City Council approved Ordinance 466 to amend municipal court fees via San Luis City Code Section 2.30.050; Municipal Court fees and 2.30.060; Court Collection Service Fee. After the successful codification of this ordinance, it was discovered that the current wording of the City Code's penalty sections does not align with these changes, specifically San Luis City Code Sections 5.15.990, 8.10.990, 8.25.100, 9.05.990, 9.25.990, 10.15.990, and 10.30.990.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORDINANCE
Amend all penalty sections of the city code that reference a flat civil penalty to include language to allow for the additional fees and surcharges pursuant to SLCC § 2.30.050. Amend all penalty sections of the city code that reference the court assessing a default fee to do so pursuant to SLCC § 2.30.050 for default judgments.
