City staff could get power to ticket cars in snow routes
The City of Prince Albert is looking at giving the power to ticket and tow vehicles parked in priority snow clearing routes to public works department employees, the city manager said on Monday.
Jim Toye said the department’s staff would be given the same sort of authority as bylaw officers would have when it comes to having vehicles towed. He said it wouldn’t come into effect this winter, but he hopes to have it in place this fall.
“That’s something that we talked about, something that we can … we think we might be able to do, and we’ll be talk to the city solicitor,” Toye said.
He added the City’s trying to be flexible with the staff it has, rather than adding bylaw enforcement officers in the winter.
