STEUBENVILLE City Council introduced legislation Tuesday aimed at beefing up the fines for parking commercial trucks in residential areas.
The proposed legislation grew out of a 90-minute safety committee meeting, which preceded council’s weekly meeting. Also discussed in the committee setting were the need for a dedicated animal control officer, revisiting archaic taxi cab regulations and how best to mark handicapped parking places.
The amendment, as proposed, would bump the fine for a first offense up to a mandatory $150. For a second offense, the mandatory fine would be $250, and for a third offense, $500.
Council also asked law director Costa Mastros to include language holding offenders accountable for towing and boot costs.
