PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO DENY AUTOMOBILE LICENSE VALIDATION STICKERS TO PERSONS WITH OUTSTANDING PARKING TICKETS The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4/8/86: TO: Indian River County Board DATE: April 8, 1.986 FILE: of County Commissioners SUBJECT: PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO DENY AUTOMOBILE LICENSE VALIDA- TION STICKERS TO PERSONS WITH OUTSTANDING PARKING TICKETS FROM: REFERENCES: Wilson, As stent County Attorney A*ssta The above -referenced subject has been set for your consideration pursuant to a request by the City of Vero Beach. This matter was previously discussed by the Board on December .11, 1985 at which time you instructed Michael Wright to speak with the Tax Collector and the Clerk of the Circuit Court regarding implementation of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Wright will advise the Board of his findings at the April 23rd meeting. Representatives from the City of Vero Beach Will also attend this meeting to express their concerns regarding this ordinance. Terrence O'Brien, attorney for the City of Vero Beach, advised that the City has passed a resolution on this matter and is requesting that the County enact an ordinance under a recent 1985 amendment to the Florida Statutes which would provide that people with 5 or more parking violations cannot be issued an automobile license tag or a revalidation sticker until the tickets have been paid. The City feels that this would be very beneficial to both the City and the County as it would get rid of scofflaws and would improve the parking in the downtown and beach districts by freeing up the parking spots. He urged the County to go forward with this ordinance. Commissioner Lyons liked the idea, but wanted to know what it would cost the County to to this. Administrator Wright reported that Tax Collector Gene Morris has indicated he would have no problem with such an ordinance, 35 BOOK 67 APR 2 3 1986 ��„�
