10.99 OF THE BALDWIN PARK MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO PENALTIES FOR PARKING VIOLATIONS
WHEREAS, over the course of years, various ordinances relating to parking
restrictions or requirements have been adopted by the City Council of the City of
Baldwin Park; and
WHEREAS, prior to 1993, a violation of any such ordinance was a criminal

an infraction, but after that time, State law requires that violations of such ordinances be
punished by a civil penalty; and
WHEREAS, to be consistent with State law, in 1993, the City Council enacted
Subsection F) of Section 10.99 of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code, making violations
of such ordinances a civil penalty, and establishing the maximum penalty as $50; and
WHEREAS, since that time, the penalties for parking violations have increased
substantially in many entities in Los Angeles County, and the cost of compliance with
the law has sometimes exceeded the amount of the penalty, encouraging violation of
the law;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park does hereby
ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Subsection F) of Section 10.99 of the Baldwin Park Municipal
Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
