TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mr. Larry Rice, City Manager
SUBJECT: City Vehicle License Fine/Enforcement
PURPOSE:
To seek approval of an amendment to the penalty
provision of Elgin Municipal Code Chapter 11.72 (Vehicle
Licenses) .
BACKGROUND:
e
Historically, the Elgin Police Department has utilized
the "City Sticker Road Block" to check compliance and
enforce the purchase of City Vehicle Licenses. Recent year
history has shown this not to be an efficient method of
enforcement and often causes irritation to the citizens.
A new approach is being proposed to better utilize
resources in both time and manpower. This would utilize the
use of a parking ticket citation, rather than requiring the
posting of one's driver license as bond or a court
appearance. It would simply require the payment of the
ticket fine and, to preclude additional citations, the
purchase of the city vehicle license.
The current penalty for this violation is ten dollars ($10)
if paid within ten days and twenty five dollars ($25) if
paid after ten days. In order to facilitate payment of the
citation and make the implementation more manageable this
ordinance change proposes the fine be changed to a flat
twenty dollar ($20) fee regardless of time lapse.

City Vehicle License Fine/Enforcement

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City has no expenditure of funds. The ordinance
passage may increase revenues as more citations might be
written. Additionally more City Vehicle Licenses are
expected to be purchased, again increasing revenues.
RECOMMENDATION:
Because the adoption of this ordinance would benefit the
Elgin Police Department, in better utilization of resources,
and the City generally by having more compliance with the
requirement for the purchase of the vehicle license, staff
recommends that it be adopted and approved by the City
Council.
