Title
An Ordinance Amending Title 9 Chapter 15 - Recommended Ordinance Amendment
History
The Village Board has approved increasing the minimum fine for "General Violations" and " Traffic Compliance" violation fines from $50.00 to $60.00.
In addition, we are recommending to encourage violators to pay their fine(s) in a more timely manner by modifying the current fine and penalty payment (schedule A, 9-15-9-1) and add two new steps (#2 and #4) which are as follows:
Step 1 $60.00 $60.00
Step 2 $100.00 $100.00
Step 3 $150.00 $150.00
Step 4 $200.00 $200.00
Step 5 $250.00 $250.00
Step 2 If the fine is not paid by or at the first hearing date but before the commencement of the 2nd hearing date, the fine amount due will be $100.00
Step 4 If the fine is not paid by or at the 2nd hearing date but before the commencement of the 3rd hearing date, the fine amount due will be $200.00.
On December 6, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Finance Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The fine increase and schedule adjustments may increase revenue from this by approximately $150,000.00
