City votes to erase parking loopholes

SANDPOINT — When it comes to public parking, the city aims to keep residents playing by the rules with a new ordinance prohibiting the removal of tire markings.

Introduced by City Attorney Scot Campbell, the ordinance establishes fines for wiping off tire marks placed by employees of Diamond Parking. These marks help employees determine when vehicles have passed their allotted two hours of free parking, at which point they issue tickets. Council members passed the new ordinance at their Wednesday meeting.
