BACKGROUND Since 1993 Public.Works staff have been authorized to issue Parking Tickets for vehicles interfering with snow removal. The foremen were appointed to deal with this situation. This has worked well and provided a level of service that would otherwise not be available without increased cost. It makes efficient use of staff who are working at that time and dealing with the snow related problems. .../2 -- 715 ~ REPORT: CD-ll-OO -2- February 28, 2000 Currently Public Works has two people on "Winter Patrol" duties. These people patrol the roads and call in the sanders and ploughs as needed. These staff members work from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. on Thursdays and 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from December 1 to April 7. Having tl..l3e people empowered to issue parking tickets allows for better overall coverage during snowstorms and winter conditions. When initially appointed in 1993, the Public Works Supervisors were to deal with issues pertaining to snow clearing operations. Since that time the Municipality has enacted an on-street parking prohibition from 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. Tagging for this offence will assist in ensuring that the roads are kept clear of vehicles. Knowing that they can be ticketed at any time will assist the public in realizing that the vehicles must be kept off the street and will reduce the incidents of tickets issued for interfering with the actual ploughing. The persons assigned to Winter Patrol are Terry Beauvais and Kenneth Sherwood. Once appointed, the Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer will properly train Mr. Beauvais and Mr. Sherwood in the issuing of parking tickets. 3. CONCLUSION Staff respectfully recommend that proposed By-laws to appoint Terry Beauvais and Kenneth Sherwood be approved.
