body
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Ordinance No. 2019-58, which would amend the Franklin Municipal Code to make clear that state law changes to traffic statutes are also adopted by the City, and to make clear that all parking regulations apply in City parking lots and garages.
Background
This is a housekeeping ordinance. Section 15-101 of the Franklin Municipal Code indicates that violations of state traffic statutes are also violations of City of Franklin ordinances. Adding “as amended” to Section 15-101 clarifies that if and when a state traffic statute is revised by the Legislature, the revision of the traffic statute is also adopted by the City without further action.
Section 15-615 of the Franklin Municipal Code addresses certain prohibitions for parking within public lots and garages. Ordinance 2019-58 adds language that clarifies these prohibitions are not the only prohibitions on how to park in public lots and garages, and that all regular parking rules also apply in those locations.
Financial Impact
There is no anticipated financial impact.
Recommendation
rec
Staff recommends passage of Ordinance 2019-58.
