Council is asked to approve two changes to Court Services: taking over certain provincial court prosecutions under Parts III and IX of the Provincial Offences Act from the Province, and setting up an administrative penalty system so parking tickets are handled through a City process instead of provincial court. Council would authorize signing the transfer agreement and related documents, and direct staff to bring back the by-laws and policies needed for the parking system.
