What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
CALIFORNIA

HELP!
I CAN not find Municipal Code Section 80.69 BS?
Only can find Municipal Code Section 80.69 (b)?
No BS section?
As it pertains to Los Angeles No Parking/Street Cleaning.

They want to slap me with $65 fine plus late fees amounting to $145.
$65 No Parking/Street Cleaning
$65 Late Fee

$10 PENALTY ADDED FEE???
$ 3 DMV FEE?
$21 SPECIAL COLLECTION FEE???

WTF? These Fees are ridiculous!
Help!

1) Penalty added Fee $10? not included in late fee of $65?
2) DMV $3 Fee for what? DMV does not enter into equation
3) Special Collection Fee $21????? for what "special collection"?

I suspect there is no such section. It would appear it would appear that all subsections of section 80.69 are all a single alphabetic character.

SEC. 80.69. PARKING PROHIBITED OR LIMITED.

(Title Amended by Ord. No. 122,716, Eff. 10/5/62.)

Whenever, with reference to any street or portion thereof, the Department determines that: (1) the same is within a business district; or (2) because of proximity to a business district or center of employment; or (3) because of an unusual concentration of population; or (4) because vehicles which are six feet or more in height (including any load thereon) parked within 100 feet of an intersection limit the visibility of approaching traffic and thereby create a hazard; or (5) because of any other factor or condition, the unrestricted parking of vehicles has caused, or would necessarily cause, traffic congestion, create a hazard, detrimentally affect the public welfare, or deprive the public of the efficient use of available curb space, the Department is hereby authorized to install at any such place signs giving notice that no person shall stand, stop or park a vehicle except as provided on such signs. The Department is further authorized to include notice on any sign which prohibits the stopping or parking of vehicles, that vehicles parked or left standing in violation of such sign may be removed. (Amended by Ord. No. 161,645, Eff. 10/17/86.)
(b) Parking Prohibited. Whenever authorized signs are in place giving notice that parking, as defined in Section 463 of the California Vehicle Code, is prohibited at any time or during certain hours, it shall be unlawful for any person to park any vehicle during such prohibited times, except as provided in Section 88.01.1 of this chapter. (Amended by Ord. No. 170,019, Eff. 10/21/94.)
SEC. 88.01.1. AUTHORITY TO EXTEND TIME AND TO CHARGE FOR PARKING IN COMMERCIAL LOADING ZONES, TIME LIMIT ZONES AND NO PARKING ZONES.

(Added by Ord. No. 170,019, Eff. 10/21/94.)

The Department is hereby authorized and directed to permit commercial vehicles to park up to a maximum of four hours in commercial loading zone, designated by signs or yellow curb paint, time limit zones with a posted limit of one or more hours, and no parking zones, when such vehicles are engaged in loading or unloading activities and are equipped with an activated personal parking meter, approved by the Department, that charges for time pursuant to the rate schedule set forth in Section 88.00.1 of this chapter.
to the various separate breakdowns of various fees and fines; I don't have a clue.

If there is no S, it was an error. IF there were such it be in (S) also, as b is.

This is a "harmless error" in the law. If you wish to move for a dismissal based on that, you are free to do so, don't count on it being granted.

No S. No B either

Don't the parking enforcement agent have to cite the correct Municipal Code for violation on parking ticket to the tune of $65?

Don't they have to follow the law also?

Many thanks,
TIGRESS

Perhaps the error was not in the code listed, but simply an errant pen mark (maybe he was distracted while writing the ticket and dragged the pen across the paper, etc)

You are free to challenge the citation to the hearing panel or hearing officer and claim that the wrong section was alleged. Expect to lose if all you have is what you wrote.

I guess that if the OP (Original Poster) wishes to come back and do so, then s/he can. Other than that, there's not much else we could say.
