Ordinance No. 3088
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND AMENDING
PORT TOWNSEND MUNICIPAL CODE
CHAPTER 10.04 PARKING TO CORRECT THE SECTION NUMBERING
(PURSUANT TO PTMC 1.01.015)
RECITALS:
A. The City Council determined it was appropriate to update the parking code (PTMC
Chapter 10.04) to provide the Chief of Police, in consultation with the City Manager and
Public Works Director, the authority to set parking limits. This was accomplished by
Ordinance No. 3077 which was approved on July 2, 2012.
B. In conjunction therewith, the sections of PTMC Chapter 10.04 were renumbered. The
result was that the newly renumbered sections do not conform to the parking code
sections referenced on the City of Port Townsend Notice of Violation carbon-copy,
preprinted forms utilized by the Port Townsend Police Department in enforcing the
provisions of this ordinance.
C. In addition, due to a typographical error, the section number for the violation of Moving
Vehicle to Avoid Time Limit which is printed on the Notice of Violation form is PTMC
10.04.170. This is not the former number for this section.
D. PTMC 1.01.015.A(10) allows revisions to an ordinance to "correct manifest errors or
omissions in numbering or renumbering sections of the revised code."
E. It would be an unnecessary expense to replace the 3000+Notice of Violation preprinted
fonns on hand. Instead, it is recommended that:
(i) the sections of PTMC Chapter 10.04.010— 10.04.110 be renumbered to
their fonner numbers (where applicable) which were in use prior to the
renumbering which occurred in conjunction with Ordinance No. 3077; and
(ii) the violation of Moving Vehicle to Avoid Time Limit be renumbered from
PTMC 10.04.100 to 10.04.170 to correspond to the section number printed
on the Notice of Violation form.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Port Townsend ordains as
follows:
SECTION 1. The sections of Chapter 10.04 Parking of the Port Townsend Municipal
Code shall be hereby revised to read as follows:
