Franklin Wu, nicipal Chief Administrative Officer PLB*LC*Ib CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905-623-3379 F 905-623-6506 REPORT NO.: CLD-046-05 PAGE 2 of 2 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT Within the Municipality of Clarington parking enforcement duties on-street have traditionally been handled by staff in the Municipal Law Enforcement Division. Private security companies have been hired by private property owners to perform parking enforcement duties on their lands. This year it has been decided to have officers enforce the Parking By-law in the downtown areas during the Christmas shutdown (December 27 — 30). As parking in these areas is complimentary for the Christmas season, the officers will be enforcing Illegal parking in the areas of the intersections, driveways, etc. Since this would be voluntary overtime, staff have the right to decline to work. After speaking to the officers, staff were unable to provide the level of service required. Staff have therefore contacted P.R.O. Security to arrange for one of their officers to cover the remaining time. Shelly Wensink is currently employed by P.R.O. Security and has been appointed to enforce the Parking By-law at 2377 Highway#2 and 100 Clarington Boulevard only. In order to be able to perform Parking Enforcement duties elsewhere in the municipality, her appointment by- law will need to be amended. Once appointed, she will receive further training to prepare her for on-street enforcement duties. ATTACHMENTS: 1. By-law to Appoint Shelly Wensink as a Parking Enforcement Officer. INTERESTED PARTIES: P.R.O. Security Investigation Agency Inc.
