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.
