That the Safety and Facilities Services Committee recommend to City Council:
Whereas the Administrative Penalty Process By-law 63-2013, as amended (“Administrative Penalty Process By-law”) is a by-law to establish a consistent process for non-parking administrative penalties within the City of Oshawa (“City”); and,
Whereas the Parking Administrative Penalty System By-law 24-2011, as amended (“Parking Administrative Penalty System By-law”) is a by-law to establish a system for administrative penalties respecting the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles; and,
Whereas staff regularly review the City’s by-laws to identify opportunities to enhance municipal regulatory standards; and,
Whereas a review has identified an opportunity to implement minor technical amendments to the Administrative Penalty Process By-law and Parking Administrative Penalty System By-law to improve clarity in provisions related to the ability of the Director, Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Services to appeal a Screening Officer’s decision to the Hearing Officer;
Therefore, be it resolved that City Council approve a by-law in a final form and content acceptable to Legal Services and the Commissioner, Safety and Facilities Services Department to amend Administrative Penalty Process By-law 63-2013, as amended and Parking Administrative Penalty System By-law 24-2011, as amended regarding the Director’s ability to appeal a Screening Officer’s decision to the Hearing Officer.
