By-law # ~/h5 Meeting: General Purpose & Administration Committee Report No: CO-59-98 Subject: Ministry of Transportation, Municipal Parking Tag Program RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report CO-59-98 be received; and 2. THAT the by-law attached to Report CO-59-98 authorizing the Mayor and Clerk to execute the Government Authorized Requester Agreement be approved. BACKGROUND: In June of this year the Ministry of Transportation announced a new program for municipalities involved in the issuing of parking tickets. The Ministry decided to begin to charge the local municipalities for access to motor vehicle license information. The program had received Management Board approval on March 30, 1997, however no announcement or discussion took place prior to its June unveiling. It called for municipalities to pay $3.00 per data access. The program as it now stands requires the municipality to pay the fee only for those tickets where the Oefendant has failed to respond to a Notice of Impending Conviction and those who request a trial but fail to appear. This cost is to be offset by increased court costs in these two instances. Future monthly parking reports will include the fees paid back to the Ministry for these matters. Where a vehicle owner fails to pay a parking ticket within thirty-five days the Municipality may proceed to send the ticket to court for a conviction to be registered against the owner of the vehicle. In order to prepare the tickets for court the Municipality must know who owns the vehicle. This information is obtained from the Ministry of Transportation. /)1 ') " CD-S9-98 - 2 - November 2, 1998 MEDIUM OF DELIVERY: At present the Municipality sends a printed list to the Ministry containing the license numbers it requires information on. The Ministry has advised that as of the end of fiscal 98/99 (the end of March 1999) the Municipality will have to move to the Electronic Data Transfer system. This will allow for faster turnaround time on information requests. Moving to this system will require a direct dedicated phone link from the Ministry's computers to the Municipality. Staff will be arranging this through the Computer Systems Manager. When implemented there will be an associated administrative cost from the province. In order to continue operations the Municipality must sign and return to the Ministry a Government Authorized Requester Agreement. It is therefore recommended that the execution of the Agreement be authorized by Counci I. Respectfully submitted: Reviewed by: . A.
