TO: Honorable City Council

Prepared By: Shaun Kroes, Program Manager
DATE: January 24, 2018 (CC Meeting of 02/07/11)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Rescinding Resolution No. 2017-3591 and
Establishing a New Bail Schedule for Violations of the Moorpark
Municipal Traffic Code, Which Apply to Vehicle Parking Violations
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City of Moorpark(City) submits unpaid parking tickets to the California Department of
Motor Vehicles (DMV) to be recorded against the ticketed vehicle's registration. In order
for the vehicle's registration to be renewed,the ticketed vehicle must pay the parking ticket.
Revenue collected from the DMV is then transmitted to the City. Effective January 1, 2018,
DMV's administrative service fee(ASF) increased from $3.00 per ticket to$4.00 per ticket.
This is a DMV-specific fee. In instances where an individual pays the City directly for their
unpaid parking ticket, the City transmits the ASF to DMV.
The City's current Bail Schedule for Violations of the Moorpark Municipal Traffic Code(Bail
Schedule) (currently Resolution No. 2017-3591) has not traditionally included the DMV
ASF. Staff is proposing to include the DMV ASF in the City's Bail Schedule. Inclusion of
the DMV ASF into the Bail Schedule provides all individuals with knowledge of the ASF.
Although the City's Bail Schedule normally takes effect a minimum of thirty(30) days from
approval, staff is proposing that the revised Bail Schedule become effective immediately,
as no City fees have been adjusted.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. The $4.00 ASF is specifically a DMV fee. The fee should be predominately paid
through to DMV; however, ASFs paid to the City are transferred to DMV.
