ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
A. In 1992, the State Legislature adopted A.B. 408
which was codified as Chapter 1244 of the Statutes
of 1992. A.B. 408 provides that effective July 1,
1993, parking violations shall become civil
matters rather than criminal matters.
B. Pursuant to A.B. 408, the City is required to
adopt a civil penalty schedule for parking
violations.
C. This Ordinance amends the E1 Segundo Municipal
Code to provide that parking violations are to be
treated as civil matters and authorizes the City
Council to adopt a civil penalty schedule for
parking violations.
D. In order that the E1 Segundo Municipal Code be in
compliance with State law by October 1, 1993, and
in order that the City not lose any needed
revenues for failure to have civil parking
penalties in place by October 1, 1993, it is
necessary that this Ordinance be adopted as an
urgency Ordinance. Failure to adopt this
Ordinance as an urgency Ordinance would result in
a detriment to the public health, safety and
welfare.
E. The City is authorized to adopt this Urgency
Ordinance pursuant to Government Code section
36934.
SECTION 2. Section 1.12.010 of Chapter 1.12 of Title 1

follows:

is imposed by the provisions of this code.
Any person convicted of a misdemeanor under
the ordinances of El Segundo shall be
punished by a fine of not more than one
thousand dollars, or by imprisonment not to
exceed six months or by both such fine and
imprisonment. Each such person shall be
guilty of a separate offense for each and
every day during any portion of which any
violation of any provision of the ordinances
of E1 Segundo is committed, continued or
permitted by any such person, and he shall be
