Council to Consider Parking Fine Hike
- Share via
The City Council will consider raising parking fines from $25 to $35 as an added deterrent.
Parking tickets generate $10,000 for the city each year, said City Manager Andy Belknap, and the increase will only add about $3,000. Most parking fines are for downtown merchants and employees parking too long in the downtown’s two-hour zone, he said.
Ojai’s $25 fine is the lowest in the county, and raising it will bring the city up with the average rate, he said.
The City Council will vote on the rate change at its meeting at 7:30 tonight at City Hall, 401 S. Ventura St.
