INCREASED MISDEMEANOR FINES ON COUNCIL AGENDA - Special Meeting Tonight |
(10/20/2003) |
Grantsville's council will hold a special meeting tonight at 7 p.m. The council will hear a second reading of ordinances, one of which would set the rates for misdemeanor fines that could be assessed against citizens for violations. The fines are linked to the establishment of a Municipal Court, which would be presided over by the mayor. The ordinance sets the fines from $500 on a first offense to $2,500 on a third offense. Another ordinance outlines how the town will conduct business, meeting locations and special meetings, and how the press and public will be advised prior to the meetings. |
