The Carthage city council is considering a temporary suspension of a city ordinance related to fines for exceeding the 2 hr parking limits around the city's downtown area. The consideration comes from a recommendation made by the city's public safety committee.
The fine for exceeding the 2 hr limit is currently set a $1. Proponents of the suspension cite the costs to enforce the ordinance vs. the benefits received. Carthage had also considered raising the fine to $15, but that was rejected by council earlier this year.
