Fiscal Note

This ordinance changes the cash deposits for certain parking citations.  Based on the number of violations issues, it is expected that this $5 increase in the cash deposit will increase revenues to the General Fund by $85,000.  This revenue increase was reflected in the 2018 adopted operating budget.

 

Title

Amending Section 1.08(3)(a) of the Madison General Ordinances to increase the cash deposit for citations issued under Sections 12.137 and 12.134, MGO.

Body

DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS:  This proposal amends Sec. 1.08(3)(a), MGO, to increase the cash deposits for parking citations issued for violations of either Sec. 12.137 or Sec. 12.134, MGO.  Sections 12.137 and 12.134, MGO, remain unchanged by this proposal. 

 

In addition, Sec. 12.141(5), MGO, sets forth the forfeiture range for violations of Sec. 12.137, MGO, including a maximum forfeiture of forty dollars ($40) for a first offense.  Similarly, Sec. 12.141(1), MGO, sets forth the forfeiture range for violations of Sec. 12.134, MGO, including a maximum forfeiture of fifty dollars ($50) for a first offense.  Since this proposal increases the cash deposit for both violations to forty dollars ($40), Sections 12.141(5) and 12.141(1), MGO, also remain unchanged by this proposal.

 

Moreover, there are no corresponding state statutes that limit the City’s ability to increase the cash deposits for these violations.
