RECOMMENDATION:

 

Recommendation

That Council give first, second and third readings to Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, Amendment Bylaw [No. 11], No. 3024, 2021.

Body

 

RELEVANT POLICY:

 

Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, as amended

Streets and Traffic Regulation Bylaw, 2017, No. 2898

 

STRATEGIC RELEVANCE:

 

Excellence in Public Service; engage, respect and respond to the needs of our community.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

Recent changes to the Streets and Traffic Regulation Bylaw have necessitated changes to the applicable schedule of the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw.

 

ISSUES: 

 

1.  Rationale for Selected Option

The Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw is the primary enforcement tool for the Township and is the authority under which all “tickets” are written.  For the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw to be used to write tickets for offences under other bylaws, the schedules under the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw have to match the section and description of the primary bylaw in question.  This amendment to the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw ensures the Streets and Traffic Regulation Bylaw and its schedule under the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw agree.                     

 

2.  Organizational Implications

 Bylaw Notices will be able to continue to be used to enforce offences under the Streets and Traffic Regulation Bylaw.

 

3.  Financial Implications

There are not significant financial implications.

 

4.  Sustainability & Environmental Implications

There are no sustainability or environmental implications

 

5.  Communication & Engagement 

The updated bylaw will be posted on the Township website.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

 

1.                     That Council gives first, second and third readings to Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, Amendment Bylaw [No. 11], No. 3024, 2021.

 

2.                     That Council gives first, second and third readings to Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw, 2014, No. 2839, Amendment Bylaw [No. 11], No. 3024, 2021, as amended.

 

3.                     That Council refers Bylaw No. 3024 back to staff to further revision.
