Department Approval f��"�'" 1�� Request for Council Action Manager Approval � �� Item Description: Proposed Administrative Fine Increases Date: May 14, 2001 Item Number: C- 3 Agenda Section Consent Agenda Back�round: Administrative offense procedures were established to provide the public and the City of Roseville with an informal, cost effective and expeditious alternative to traditional criminal charges for violations of certain ordinance provisions. In reviewing our administrative fine schedule with both the County and the State, we have discovered that we are way below their posted fine schedules. In an effort to cover the cost of issuing the citation and bear a direct relationship to the severity of the offense we are recommended changes in the below listed fine structure. Violations Current Fine Proposed Fine County/State Fine Display/Discharge Weapon $ 5 0 $100 1�Tisd 90 days and not more than $700 Fireworks; use / Possess Seatbelt Expired Vehicle Plates 1�Tissing Plate/tabs Dlegal Parking $25 $10 $20 $10 $10 $50 $25 $35 $35 $15 Same as above $55 $50 $50 $15 In conclusion we have talked about changing our fine schedule for some time. The citations could be updated by placing stickers with the new information over the current fine schedule. I believe that officers would be more likely to issue Administrative Citations if the fine were more in line with the severity of the violation. Staff Recommendation: City Council authorization to change the current fine schedule to reflect the pre-mentioned proposed changes. Council Action Requested: Motion to authorize the changes in the current Administrative Fine Structure to reflect the proposed fine recommendations.
