ITEM 3 - DISCUSSION - AUTO INSURANCE - NON-COMPLIANCE ORDINANCE
Deputy City Attorney Janet Young stated that a proposed ordinance to City Council would mirror the new state law regarding fines for those in violation of having no automobile insurance coverage. The ordinance would include a first-time fine for violators of $500. Although on the state level the $500 is mandatory, the municipal court asked that the judges have some discretion in the case of extenuating circumstances. Management Team agreed with allowing the judges to use their own discretion. Also, 50% of the fines collected would go to the Police Department which mirrors the state statute.
City Council reached consensus to bring the ordinance, as presented, before them to vote on at a regular City Council meeting
ITEM 4 - DISCUSSION - CHANGE TO PAWNBROKERS ORDINANCE
City Attorney Roger Noonan stated that there were some changes to the Pawnbrokers Ordinance that mirrored the new state statutes which would be brought before Council. However, discussion needed to take place regarding whether City Council wanted to impose a distance requirement between pawnshops.
Letters of support for distance requirements from the Alameda Gateway Association and the Colfax Business Association were presented to City Council. Discussion ensued.
City Council asked that distance restrictions for other types of businesses be reviewed by them as well.
City Council reached consensus to bring the ordinance, as presented, before them to vote on at a regular City Council meeting
