Since the problem primarily arises at night, staff contacted the Durham Regional Police and requested their assistance in the matter. They have indicated that they will assist as best they can. Both the Hospital and the By-law Division have sent a letter to the Regional Police formally requesting them to strictly enforce the prohibited parking area around the Hospital. A second letter will be sent to the Hospital from the By-law Division advising them that the matter will be followed up and strictly enforced by the police and our officers, where possible. Mr. Hendriks will then post a memo to all hospital staff as a final warning not to park on the street. RECOMMENDATION The Hospital administration has demonstrated a willingness to resolve this matter and take responsibility for parking on their own property. It is therefore recommended that the two hospital staff member and the four security guards listed on the letters from the Hospital and Burns Security which appeared in Report CD-14-94 (a copy of which is attached) be appointed By-law Enforcement Officers for the sole purpose of enforcing the Traffic By-law on the Hospital property and that the By- law attached to Report CD-14-94 appointing these people be forwarded to Council for approval.

After discussions with the management of the hospital it is apparent that several of these vehicles are in fact employees of the hospital who are parking on the street in order to avoid paying for the parking lot. This situation has caused serious concerns among the neighbours and I am therefore requesting the assistance of your officers in resolving this matter. I have contacted the hospital and advised them in writing that if the situation does not improve, vehicles may be tagged or towed if necessary in order to resolve this matter. I realize there are several serious limits and constraints upon Your officers ' availability to enforce this matter however, any assistance that they can give us would be greatly appreciated.

After investigating the situation it appears that this is the case. We wish to resolve this matter as quickly as possible, I am therefore seeking your assistance in the matter. Please advise your staff that my officers, with the assistance of the Durham Regional Police, will be monitoring the situation. It is our intention to have the by-law strictly enforced should vehicles be found illegally parked on the street, especially in the prohibited area. They will be ticketed and face the very real possibility of being towed away. The fact that they work at the hospital does not excuse them from the requirements of the by-law, especially in view of the fact that there is a facility provided for them at your location. Any assistance which you can render this department will be appreciated. Respectfully yours, r r' Leonard Creamer, P.S.O.

THAT Report CD-14-94 be received; 2 . THAT the two hospital staff members and the four security guards listed on the letters from the Hospital and Burns Security be appointed By-law Enforcement Officers for the sole purpose of enforcing the Traffic By-law on the Hospital property; 3. THAT the By-law attached to Report CD-14-94 appointing these people be forwarded to Council for approval. REPORT On November 22, 1993, the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital's Director of Environmental Services, Mr. Andre Hendriks wrote to the By-law Division requesting our assistance in improving parking enforcement on the hospital property. At the present time, parking offences at the Hospital are handled by the Parking Enforcement Officers and the Durham Regional Police. This requires the Hospital to call in and ask for an officer to attend and tag a vehicle on their lot. The guard or member of staff must then wait until an officer arrives and co-sign the parking ticket as the agent of the property owner. This can lead to long delays if an officer is not readily available when the complaint comes in. The most viable solution would be for the Hospital to take over the enforcement duties strictly on their own property. Attached to this report is a copy of Mr. Hendricks' letter, together with a copy of a letter from Burns International Security Services Limited requesting the appointment.. 12U7 R—CL 0�a PA rx¢¢vmemoon aECrctFO PACEa CD-14-94 - 2 - April 18, 1994 Once appointed by By-law the specified guards and staff members would have the authority to issue Parking Infraction Notices on their own property. Other municipalities have adopted this approach as it offers the most efficient solution to very localized problems . The By-law.Enforcement Division will provide training to the guards to ensure that their enforcement duties are carried out properly. It is therefore recommended that the two hospital staff members and the four security guards listed on the letters from the Hospital and Burns Security be appointed By-law Enforcement Officers for the sole purpose of enforcing the Traffic By-law on the Hospital property and that the By-law attached to Report CD-14-94 appointing these people be forwarded to Council for approval.
