CHAPTER 4, ADDIN TION 1C THEREIN TO PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL
?FNi~).i~ VIOLATIONS.

enforcing parking after an initial violation is cited. In high parking demand areas,
it is more convenient to be issued a 95 violation than to find alternative parking.

will allow Police and Parking Division personnel to write additional tickets every
two hours to provide a deterrent to cease the parking violation=

employers in general industry and governmental units to develop procedures to
utilize in-house or outside rescue services for permit-required confined space
response. This amendment would provide for establishing and assessing fees by
City Council resolution for those affected businesses and governmental units
which choose to utilize the Fire Department's "Confined Space Rescue Team"
