If in the eyes <strong>of</strong> the Court sufficient opportunity is not given, it may result in the fine being<br />

reduced, the person being found guilty but the fine waived or the squashing <strong>of</strong> the ticket. In this<br />

case the <strong>District</strong> would still have the legal cost <strong>of</strong> proceeding with court action and end up with<br />

an unfavorable result.<br />

As the price for a permit in July and August is $100.00 an <strong>of</strong>fender could receive two tickets<br />

before the cost <strong>of</strong> a permit would be achieved. It is therefore recommended that the fine amount<br />

be increased to be an additional deterrent to the <strong>of</strong>fender and the procedure used by bylaw<br />

enforcement staff be maintained so that the courts will recognize that the <strong>of</strong>fender was given a<br />

fair opportunity to comply.<br />
