The proposal was brought forward by Jamestown mayor Sam Teresi earlier this month. According to the mayor, nearly $500,000 is owed to the city in past due parking tickets. The parking ticket amnesty program will allow anyone who owes money to pay the face value of the original parking ticket, without having to pay any late fees or other associated penalties. The program will begin on April 1 and continue until April 30.

The last time the city held a parking ticket amnesty program was in 2009, when it netted $116,000.

Among the resolutions is a ban on the use of tobacco related products throughout all city parks, regardless of location. Current city law states that the use of tobacco is banned at ball fields, playgrounds and building facilities. The new proposal would extend the ban to all other locations of public parks.

Another resolution involves implementing a parking ticket amnesty program, which will allow anyone who owes on late parking tickets to pay only the original fine of the ticket. Mayor Sam Teresi said earlier this month the program will allow the city to recoup some of the nearly $500,000 in overdue fines that are owed to the city. If approved by the council, the amnesty program will begin April 1 and continue throughout the entire month.

Monday’s voting session begins at 7:30 p.m. and is open to the public.

JAMESTOWN – The city of Jamestown is hoping to collect past due money from residents and visitors alike.

On Monday night Jamestown Mayor Sam Teresi explained to the city council that there is more than $1,380,000 in outstanding revenue owed to the city. More than $885,000 is due unpaid fees associated with required demolitions, property maintenance, court fees, alarm responses, and other miscellaneous charges. In addition, $498,000 comes from overdue parking tickets and Teresi is hoping to recoup some of that money starting next month.

As part of his 2016 State of the City report, Teresi said he would like took into a parking ticket amnesty program, similar to one instituted by the city in 2009. Monday night the mayor offered more details on the program, adding that if the city council gives its approval, he’d like to see it initiated starting April 1 and continuing for the entire month.

Under the guidelines of the amnesty program, people with unpaid parking fines would only have to pay the face value of the original ticket, not any additional fines associated with the violation. The mayor believes this could result in a significant amount of revenue that would help the city’s 2016 budget.

The proposal is not unprecedented. The last time the city implemented such a program was in 2009, when it netted $116,000. Teresi said that year there was actually a lower amount owed in overdue tickets, meaning there’s a chance that the city could net even more money this time around.

The amnesty program will need to be approved by the Jamestown City Council before going into effect. Lawmakers will vote on the matter during the March 28 voting session. If approved, anyone who has an overdue fine will be notified of the amnesty program and will have the entire month of April to pay the initial fine.
