Supervisor Thorpe reported that he was contacted by
the County requesting this awhile ago. He was of the
opinion that the regulations of the SHAPE patrol was
County regulated. Upon review of the program, it was
determined that to accomplish this program in the Town
of Cortlandville, our Parking Ordinance needs to be
amended. A draft of this has been made available for
public review.
He offered those in attendance privilege of the
floor.
Mr. Douglas Fenton, Coordinator of SHAPE patrol,
explained their program. They currently have 14
volunteers, whom can issue violation tickets for a
vehicle parked in a handicap parking spot, which is not
authorized to. Warning notices have been issued in the
Town. Those SHAPE workers in attendance requested that
the Town amend the ordinance so that they will be
allowed to ticket those offenders.
Councilman O'Donnell requested information
regarding the penalty schedule of the City of Cortland.
Mr. Fenton advised: $25.00, if the fine is not paid
within seven days than the fine goes up to $50.00. Miss
Pizzola stated that the fee charged for a fine, varies
for different municipalities.
Town Attorney, John Folmer, stated that State Law
determines the manner and number of required handicap
parking places in parking lots. The Local Ordinance
will set the penalty schedule, of the cost of a fine.
Ours, as proposed, state;: First offence will be not
less then $25.00 and not more then $50.00. It will be

A discussion was held concerning access ramps,
curb cuts, and others relating to the program.
Town Clerk, Pauline Parker, discussed her concerns
® of those applicants who received a Permanent Handicapped
Permit which does not hang from the mirror. Are they
also looking on the dash of vehicles for these permits.
A resident of the Town, who has this type, was issued a
ticket in the City, during the holidays, and was very
upset. Due to a change in the regulation procedure,
this applicant was allowed to also receive the hangar
type. Upon receipt of her permit, she was not fined,
but it did upset her.
