<br />j, <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />T0: J. B. WILLIAMSON <br />FROM: JAMES R. HUDGENS <br />SUBJECT: FINES FOR TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS <br />• <br />DATE: OCTOBER 29, 1979 <br />I appreciate your courtesy of advising the Council and me of the <br />Courts proposed new minimum fines prior to implementation. <br />State Statute and our municipal ordinances establish, as you are <br />aware, a maximum fine of $200.00 for all offenses over which <br />municipal courts have original jurisdiction. In my judgement, and <br />I feel sure the Council will agree, the imposition of a fine within <br />that guideline for a specific violation falls totally within the <br />jurisdiction and discretion of the Court: <br />r~ <br />U <br />cc: Mayor and Council <br />• <br />
