An ordinance has been drafted that allows the City to enforce parking
Cibolo requirements on private property. This authority is granted to the City by the
Administration Local Government Code and will allow the City to write tickets for violations on
private property. Tickets would be written for violations of fire lanes,
handicapped parking, etc. The City has observed increasing problems on school
Todd Parton property for parking and blocking of fire lanes and this will allow the City and the
City Manager District to enforce parking requirements. City staff also anticipates additional
citvmanacier'scibolotx.net needs to regulate parking on commercial tracts with the growth of commercial
and industrial developments throughout town.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the ordinance as presented.
