RESOLUTION NO. 26-0071
A RESOLUTION OF THE MANHATTAN BEACH CITY COUNCIL APPROVING A $6.00 INCREASE IN PARKING CITATION PENALTIES THE MANHATTAN BEACH CITY COUNCIL HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. California Vehicle Code Section 40203.5 authorizes the City to establish parking penalties for parking violations and late payment penalties. The parking penalties for parking violations and late payment penalties established by this Resolution comply in all respects with the requirements of California Vehicle Code Sections 40200 to 40230 inclusive, and other applicable law and are necessary for the protection of the public health: safety, interest, and general welfare.
SECTION 2. The City has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that it is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378(b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposal involves an increase to Citywide Parking Citation Penalties, and therefore involves the amendment of existing government funding mechanisms and other governmental fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
SECTION 3. Based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves a $6.00 increase in the penalties for the parking violations identified on Exhibit A.
SECTION 4. The revised Schedule of Parking Citation Penalties is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 5. Annual Adjustment: To keep up with rising costs of parking enforcement operations, including staffing, materials and services and vehicle replacement costs involved with enforcing parking regulations, beginning July 1, 2027 through July 1, 2030, the parking citation fines would be adjusted annually by five percent (5%) rounded to the nearest dollar ($1.00).
SECTION 6. The City Manager is hereby authorized to adjust future parking citation rates, on a one-to-one basis, by any dollar or percentage surcharge imposed on parking citations by federal, state or county government.
SECTION 7. This Resolution shall be effective upon passage, however, the increase in parking citation penalties will become effective on August 1, 2026.
SECTION 8. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
ADOPTED on July 7, 2026.
