Submitted by: Richard Wade | Ordinance 6391
ITEM 6.C. | Council Action: 6/24/2019 |
|
| | | | | | | | Description
Ordinance to amend Title 8 "Public Safety and Morals" of the 2015 Municipal Code of Council Bluffs, Iowa, by amending Chapter 8.02.020 "Misdemeanor-Penalty." |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
Iowa Code Section 903.1 has changed the maximum fine amount for simple misdemeanors to $625.00 and our Code still has $500.00 as the maximum fine amount. In order to remain consistent with the the Iowa Code, we've removed the specific penalties from our Code and included language referencing Iowa Code Section 903.1. |
|
| | | | | | | | Recommendation
It is my recommendation that this Ordinance be adopted. |
