Item/Subject: ORDINANCE, Amending the Code of the City of Bangor, Chapter 291, Article III —
Parking, Section 291-45, Waiving Court Hearing for Violation; Fees
Responsible Department: Community & Economic Development
Commentary:
The City Council has designated a Downtown Parking Advisory Committee whose purpose and duties are to
review the recommendations of Republic Parking System and City parking resources, prices, and policies as
they relate to on -street and off-street parking in the Downtown Parking Management area and to provide a
comprehensive parking recommendation to the Business and Economic Development Committee of the City
Council.
The fine for overtime parking in Bangor is $10, in Portland $15, in Lewiston $16, and in Augusta $5. The
Police Department looked at a $2 increase, which would increase revenue by $50,000, and $5 which would
increase revenue by $67,000.
At its April 16, 2009 meeting, the Downtown Parking Advisory Committee recommended that the waiver fee
for overtime parking be increased from $10 to $15.
Department Head
Manager's Comments: The Business and Economic Development Committee has reviewed and
recommended approval by a vote of 3-2. The minority expressed the opinion that a smaller increase
should be adopted.cru �nr�uxc+ e -n 5 ' ao 04 rrk
