REQUES'FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Requested By: Bobb 7 Agenda Date Requested: Ma Department: Police Report Resolution xxx Ordinance Exhibits: DPS FTA P~oject SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION I am reques~ing an Ordinance approving and authorizing an interlocal cooperation contract between the City of La Porte and The Texas Department of Public Safety, to implement the provisions of V.C.S. ART. 6687d, denial of renewal of license for failure to appear. The Texas Department of Public Safety will not issue a renewal drivers license if there is an existing failure to appear warrant out of the City of La Porte Municipal Court. DPS has contracted with a vendor which will collect ticket data electronically from this city. They will provide a computer system for compiling and submitting information. DPS will receive the data, screen it and include it in the driver license database. In addition to ticket fines, offenders entered in the FTA system must pay $30 for each offense. Ten dollars go to the city, which must pay the vendor $6 for each offense when fees are collected. The city does not pay when fines go uncollected or when offenders serve jail time instead of paying the failure to appear cost. The police department, municipal court and the finance department, all concur that this is the best solution to the problem. Action Required by Council: Approval of interlocal cooperation contract. Alternative: Maintain Municipal Court as it exist.

Chief of Fiscal Affairs Texas Department of Pubiic Safety l\pprov-.::d as ro Form: John C, West, Jr. Chief, Legal Services TC;{<ls Dcp~rlmeTlt /)f Publi.: Safety . e Unpaid traffic tickets can cost driver .Iicenses Many Texans traveling from town to town leave behind un. paid traffic tickets without a second thought. But soon, those unresolved citations will follow scofflaws throughout the state and put the brakes on their driver license renewal. Historically, cities and counties have been on their own when it came to collect. ing traffic fines. Motorists passing through a town they seldom visit might never bother. to pay a local ticket. "If a person passes through Austin and commits a Class C misdemeanor traffic violation, they're probably not going to worry about defaulting on a payment or failure to appear, because they live outside the im. 'Tlediate jurisdiction," explained Project Administrator Jan Coffey. "'n many cases, they may nElVer be brought :0 justice." . Last year, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 1504, :reating what is called the failure to appear (FTA) pro. lram. As a result, motorists can be denied renewal of heir driver licenses if they haven't paid traffic ,tickets )r appeared in court to protest them. DPS has contracted with a vendor which will collect icket data electronically from cities, counties and ourts. The company will provide computer hardware nd software that political subdivisions will use to compile nd submit information on delinquent tickets. DPS then will ~ceive the data, screen it and include it in the driver license atabase. DPS began offering contracts to political subdivisions in eptember, and Coffey said the system may be fully opera. onal by November, Offenders will be notified by the vendor when their ticket information is reported and will receive letters from DPS about potential denial instead of driver license renewal notices, If offenders don't take care of their tickets within 60 days of license expiration or renewal application, renewal will be denied, Cof. fey said. In addition to ticket fines, offenders entered in the FTA system must pay $30 for each offense. Ten dollars go to the political subdivisions, which must pay the vendor $6 for each offense when fees are collected. ..., Cities and counties don't pay when fines go"'un- , ' collected or when offenders serve jail time instead of paying them. ' . '.,!.',' As a result of this new law, traffic citations will in- fif elude a warning that motorists can lose their driver license privilege if they don't make payments on time, Coffey said. Based on a'1993 survey, DPS estimated that of the more than 2.3 million outstanding traffic warrants, as few as 25 percent were ever settled. That means un- paid traffic tickets could translate to more than $43 million in lost revenue for the state and $70 million for political subdivisioris. "I believe the lost revenue that cities and counties incur will decrease considerably, and the State of Texas will collect on fees associated with outstanding cases that or- dinarily wouldn't have been collected," Coffey said. "We hope it will deter violators from signing traffic citations promising to appear in court and then not abiding by the traffic law re- quirements." " t: ;; f r i ';4~' t"",c; f f i ,,' '. "':,'.

Interoffice Memorandum From: Mayor and City Council Robert T. Herrera, City Manager ~j-i- April 22, 1997 To: Date: Subject: Re-Codification Project This binder contains the cumulative effect of staff's efforts to re-codify the Ordinances of the City of La Porte. This project involved reviewing the 1987 Code and incorporating changes or updates that have been caused by ordinances passed in the last 9 years. . This binder is in three sections. The first section contains an introductory letter from John Armstrong, who provided legal oversight for this project. The second section contains a summary list of changes that were made to the proof set. The third section contains the proof set. We have highlighted the pages with changes by making them on blue paper. The changes that have been made to the proof set can be placed in three distinct categories. First, typographical errors were corrected. Second, where State law has superseded a City Ordinance, the update caused by State law was inserted. Third, updates were made where titles have changed, i.e. City Commission is now City Council. It is my desire to have a workshop on this project at the May 19, 1997 City Council meeting. . . e \ . . CITY OF LA PORTE .: May 8, 1997 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Mayor and Council Robert T. Herrera, C~~ June City Council Meeting Dates The Run-Off Election for the City of La Porte is scheduled for Saturday, May 31, 1997.
