Report Overview
The provisions of Clarington Traffic By-law 2014-059 governs all parking enforcement matters
within the Municipality. Private property owners may apply to have private security companies
undertake enforcement duties on their own land and issue municipal parking infraction notices.
1 . Background
Joe Gerrits, on behalf of Gerr Holdings Limited, has requested that Paragon Security provide
officers for parking enforcement at 219 and 221 King Street East, Bowmanville. In order to be
able to perform the enforcement duties, Section 15(1) of the Police Services Act, RSO 1990, c.
P.15, requires that Paragon Security Services to be appointed by the Municipality.
2. Discussion
This proposal involves a property that has never had private parking enforcement within
Clarington before, and as such, it is necessary to approve the site and appoint the company by
by-law. Any officers who will be working at the site will be screened and trained by the
Manager of Municipal Enforcement, prior to commencing their duties.
On April 11th, staff attended the property to determine if proper signage had been installed
pursuant to the Traffic By-law requirements. Staff concluded that the area had been properly
and sufficiently signed for parking enforcement.
3. Concurrence
Not applicable
4. Conclusion
The proposed by-law will appoint the employees of Paragon Security to carry out the
enforcement duties at the site.
