Title
An Ordinance Amending Title 9, Chapter 15 of the Orland Park Village Code - Recommended Ordinance

We are requesting to add unpaid red light violations to the current list of unpaid parking violations that would be counted toward the number of tickets causing a vehicle to be eligible for immobilization/towing. They currently are not.
