Summary of Proceedings
November 4, 2026 Special Magistrate Hearing – Parking Citation Appeal
The special magistrate hearing was held on November 4, 2026, to address a parking citation appeal (Case No. 00324 P) filed by Anna E. Joynson. The appellant challenged a $25 citation for violating City Code Section 70-31 (improper parking direction) issued on September 28, 2026, at 9:59 PM. After testimony from Officer Gary Lipscomb and the appellant, the magistrate upheld the violation and imposed penalties totaling $50 plus a recording fee. The hearing also noted an update on a previous compliance matter.
Discussion Items
- Parking Citation Appeal (00324 P): Officer Lipscomb testified that he observed the appellant's vehicle parked on the southbound side of Nassau Street facing northbound, with the driver's side to the curb, which violates Section 70-31 requiring the passenger side to be closest to the curb. The vehicle was parked opposite the appellant's residence at 417 Nassau Street, in front of 416 Nassau Street. The appellant acknowledged parking across the street due to home construction but was uncertain of the vehicle's orientation. She stated she had a two-month-old infant at the time and was asked to move her car quickly. She did not receive a warning and requested the citation be rescinded.
Key Outcomes
- Finding and Penalty: The magistrate found the appellant violated Section 70-31 of the City Code. The appellant must forfeit the $25 appeal filing fee and pay a $25 civil penalty plus recording fees within 10 days.
- Compliance Update: The city reported that a previous case (Redmond, Case No. 26-318) had come into compliance with a prior order, so no further hearing was needed.
