Parking Violation and Fine Amendments
New ordinances set $150/$300 fines for expired registrations, add fines for unreadable or covered plates, and raise the curb-distance fine to $125. A resident asked for a hard limit on how long a car can sit on a public street — the council agreed to look into it.
Federal and State Police Grants
The city accepted a $956,600 DOJ grant to overhaul the police dispatch center, buy radios and search equipment, plus a $200,000 DASNY grant for patrol vehicles and a motorcycle.
Abandoned vehicle time limits on public streets
A Landing Road resident asked why Glen Cove has no rule limiting how long a car can sit on the street; the council agreed to study adding a 7- to 14-day limit.
