Memorandum 17-005
TO: MAYOR ZAK AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JO JOHNSON, CITY CLERK
DATE: JANUARY 3, 2017
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 17-03 - AMENDMENTS TO PROVIDE FOR THE DISPOSITION OF ADDITIONAL OFFENSES BY BAIL FORFEITURE
The intent of Ordinance 17-03 is to bring the City’s citations in line with the State Court who can enforce the penalties. Municipalities across the state are incorporating their fines for citations consistent with the State Court.
Aligning fines for citations with the State Court avoids court hearings and appearances, which in turn reduces costs to the State.
Ordinance 17-03 is a housekeeping measure to ensure the City’s fines for minor offenses are consistent with the State’s fines.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Ordinance 17-03 to amend the City’s citations so they are consistent with the Alaska Court.
