Meeting: General Purpose and Administration Committee
File #163 b {
Res. #CII1-'-!rtf-'!r
Date: Monday, October 4, 1999
Report No. CD-38-99
By-law # _
Subject:
APPOINTMENT OF PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpo:;e and Administration Committee recommend to
Council the following:
1. THAT Report CD-38-99 be received; and
2. THAT parking be prohibited on Darlington Park Road and on Down Road; and
3. THAT the Park Wardens be appointed as Parking Enforcement Officers in order to enforce the
Municipality's Traffic By-law in the area adjacent to the Provincial Park; and
4. THAT the proposed by-laws attached to Report CD-38-99 be forwarded to Council for approval,
and;
5. THAT the Darlington Provincial Park Superintendent be advised of Council's decision.
BACKGROUND:
Staff have received a request for assistance from the Acting Park Superintendent at the Darlington
Provincial Park. Patrons of the park have been parking on the roadway around the park and then
walking in without paying. In addition to the lost revenue for the park, this has created safety
concerns for vehicles using the roads. A copy of the Park Superintendent's letter is attached to this
report.
PROPOSAL:
Staff are proposing to prohibit parking on Darlington Park Road from Courtice Road to the park
entrance and on both sides of Down Road. The Acting Park Superintendent, Mr. Formsma, has spoken
to the Public Works Department and offered to cover the cost of the placement of the signs. This is
estimated to be approximately $1,700. The Park Wardens will be appointed as Parking Enforcement
Officers for the purpose of issuing tickets in this area.
It is therefore recommended that the appointments and amendments be approved and passed.

Dear Mr Creamer
Darlington Provincial Park is experiencing problems with people parking their
vehicles outside the park boundary and walking into the park.
Besides the obvious problem of losing revenue it also creates congestion along
the road and it becomes a safety hazard for people driving into the park. A
good example was the evening of August 8, when there were approximately 50
vehicles parked along this road,
I am asking you to assist us in resolving this problem by creating a "No Parking"
zone along both sides of the Darlington Park Rd. and along Down Rd. We are
willing to pay for the installation costs of the signs - up to $1,700.00.
We also request authority for our park wardens to enforce this no parking zone
by issuing your tickets. These park wardens are fully trained in enforcement
practices and regularly write Provincial Offences Notices under the Provincial
Parks Act and Liquor Licence Act. Their names and badge numbers are: Phil
Kapostins Badge # 172, Charmaine Scott Badge # 270 , Chad Giesche Badge
# 170.
Thank you for considering this proposal.
