Hesperia City Council to reconsider $1,000 parking fee for big rigs amid complaints
Victorville Daily Press
Commercial truck drivers will have to wait at least a month for a potential decision that could reduce Hesperia s annual $1,000 fee associated with parking tractor-trailers on residential properties.
The Hesperia City Council adopted the fee in January as part of the Residential Truck Parking Permit Program. City officials said the fees would help fund repairs on residential and commercial roads, which they said are damaged faster than normal by big rigs.
The parking fee structure includes an annual $200 permit per tractor and $800 per trailer.
On Tuesday night, the City Council voted 5-0 to revisit the parking fee, possibly during the Aug. 18 meeting; place a hold on accepting parking permit applications, which began in March and included a Sept. 21 deadline; and establish a moratorium that prevents new residents from parking trucks on their property.
