SUBJECT:
Ordinance Adding Section 3202A to the Santa Monica
Municipal Code Relating to Deposit of Beach Parking
Lot Fees into Honor Boxes
At its meeting on March 27, 1990, the City council directed
the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance enabling the Police
Department to ticket vehicles which fail to deposit beach parking
lot fees in honor boxes.
The accompanying ordinance has been
prepared and is presented to the City Council for its
consideration.
Since the installation of fee boxes in beach parking lots
located at 810 Pacific Coast Highway and 1670 and 1750 Appian Way
in the spring of 1989, there has been a problem with individuals
entering the unattended lots and refusing to deposit the required
payment in the fee boxes.
The accompanying ordinance adds
Section 3202a to the Municipal Code. The new section provides
that it is unlawful for any individual to park in a parking lot
containing a fee box without paying the fee, unless notice is not
adequately given that the lot contains a fee box in which
individuals must deposit a required parking fee.
