BACKGROUND: By-law 2010-190, being a by-law to regulate the parking of vehicles on private property without the owner’s consent, was enacted on November 15, 2010. The By-law includes an “effective” date of January 18, 2011, at which time it would come into effect and the previous by-law number 88-170 would be repealed. REPORT: The “effective date” time period is necessary to allow staff to apply to the Ministry of the Attorney General for set fines under the new by-law, while being able to continue enforcement of the existing by-law with its set fine schedule. However, staff have not yet received approval of the set fines under the new by-law. As such, staff are proposing to extend the effective date of the new by-law to February 15, 2011. Based on recent information received, staff understand th that the new set fine schedule should be approved shortly, although not by January 18. If the time period is not extended, the existing by-law would be repealed without the ability to enforce the new by-law with regard to private property parking concerns. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A ACKNOWLEDGED BY: Jeff Willmer, Deputy CAO, Community Services Department
