The bill is intended to eliminate the costly processing of parking violations as criminal cases whereby complex criminal court processes and appearance of enforcement officers at appeals are required. AB 408 requires that the transfer of parking violation processing from the courts to the issuing agency take place as soon as possible after July 1, 1993, but not later than January 1, 1994. To provide for the orderly transfer of parking violation processing, several procedural steps must take place. Beginning July 1, 1993, all reference to parking violations as criminal offenses whereby a "bail" amount is set must be modified and referred to as civil penalties. Therefore, the City must establish a schedule of parking penalties and other related charges for parking violations in lieu of a bail schedule as provided for in AB 408. Resolution 93-90 adopts the current bail schedule administered bythe Newhall Municipal Court for parking violations as the City's Schedule of Parking Penalties. No changes to the existing bail schedule has been made with the exception of those required under AB 408. Other procedural steps remaining include the adoption of a City Administrative Review Process to replace the current judicial review process of parking citation appeals and an agreement with the courts for the transfer of parking citation processing responsibilities. Staff will return to Council for approval of these items prior to January 1, 1994, when the transfer must be completed. Approve Resolution No. 93-90 Establishing a Schedule of Parking Penalties and Other Related Charges for Parking Violations within the City.
