1 Improving Bylaw Enforcement BYLAW ADJUDICATION (BEN) The New Bylaw Enforcement Tool A short comparative analysis between MTI and BEN Prepared by Peter Longhi Chief Building Inspector Prepared by Peter Longhi, Chief Building Inspector and Bylaw Manager, SCRD
2 General Definitions MTI The Municipal Ticketing Information System, MTI,, is a long standing enforcement tool used by local governments and facilitated under the Ministry of the Attorney General for many years. The SCRD has the MTI system in place currently, however there are some significant problems in issuing i tickets of this nature: 2
3 MTI continued The ticket can only be served in person, If disputed, it may only be disputed in Court, The rules of Court must apply, There is often legal Council services required, Costs of resolution are generally much higher, Witnesses need to appear, Evidence requires presentation before a judge, Time for resolution is long and protracted, A permanent court record is filed if found guilty. 3
4 BEN The Bylaw Enforcement Notice System, BEN, is relatively new, (2003), and is being adopted by many Local Governments as a more efficient streamlined tool to accomplish the same ends. It is equally supported by the Ministry and seen as the preferred system. 4
5 BEN Eliminates need for Bylaw Officers to spend countless hours at the Court house waiting to provide evidence Removes minor bylaw violations from complex Provincial Court system Bylaw notices deemed served when placed on site or delivered by mail Limited need for legal counsel assistance Reduction in collection costs (reduction in time) 5 5
6 BEN continued Provides local government with control over the process and greatly assists with compliance within a short timeline. Saves time in processing file and bring closure to the offence on both sides. Eliminates judicial discretion on penalties Can be implemented by individual municipality or jointly on regional basis. 6 6
7 The Act s Main Targets Minor infractions with Small fines Deal effectively with these infractions in an informal environment 7
8 BEN Model The goal of the new enforcement model is to create simple, fair, and cost effective systems for dealing with minor bylaw infractions. To meet this goal, the BEN model: eliminates the requirement for personal service; establishes a dedicated forum for resolving local bylaw enforcement disputes; uses a dispute resolution based approach to obtaining independently adjudicated decisions; avoids the unnecessary attendance of witnesses; avoids the need to hire legal counsel; and promotes the timely resolution of bylaw enforcement disputes. 8
9 New Terminology Adjudication is the term used to define the process of deciding if the penalty is applicable and the fine upheld An Adjudicator may be a retired or active Judge, Justice of the Peace or Lawyer experienced with settling minor Bylaw infractions and appointed by the Province A Screening Process gives the Local Government an opportunity to verify the violation and/or enter into a compliance agreement with the offender. A Screening Officer is charged with administering the enforcement process and may decide on whether a ticket may be revoked. A Compliance Agreement is an admission of the offence but seeks agreeable terms for rectifying the situation in writing and is made between the Screening Officer and the offender. 9
10 Lets Compare the Two Systems 10
11 Originating Document Old MTI Letter Info/Summons New Bylaw Notice Single Document Legally effective on delivery 11 11
12 Delivery of Bylaw Notice Old Personal Delivery Only New o Leave on Site (on building or boat at the dock) o Mail (7 days) deemed d served o Personal delivery 12 12

15 Sample of Screening Officer notes BYLAW NOTICE SCREENING DATE : March 16 th, 2005 BYLAW NOTICE NUMBER: WV TIME: 1:43pm DATE NOTICE ISSUED: 03/15/05 ISSUING OFFICER: Paul Seco NAME: Sarbjit Singh Lally TELEPHONE #: CELL #: ADDRESS: A Avenue FAX# West Vancouver BC V4N 5K6 SCREENING OFFICER : Marie Whitmore March 16 th, 2005 We received a fax copy requesting adjudication for Bylaw notice WV This ticket was issued for operating a heavy vehicle on a prohibited highway. March 16 th, :49pm I called Sarbjit Lally to discuss the ticket. The receptionist advised that Sarbjit is the on the road so he will have to call me back. March 17 th, :12am Left another message fro Sarbjit Lally to call to discuss ticket. March 21s, :15pm Called to speak to Sarbjit Lally regarding ticket. Receptionist gave me his cell Called his cell and left a message for him to call me. Screening Officer s Notes Form March 21, :22: Kulvinder Lally is the owner.

(Down Taylor Way, right on Marine Drive, right on 12 th, and up to Esquimalt) Owner advised that the driver or the company wasn t aware of the regulations. I advised that if you or your driver are I faxed a copy of the schedule of heavy vehicle prohibited highways for future reference. Owner is upset that the fine is so much and she wanted to know if we could reduce the fine amount. I advised there is no reducing the fine amount. Owner advised that the customer should pay for some of the fine. I advised that their customer isn t liable for a driver s route. The driver is the one drove not the customer. Owner was hesitating on paying the fine amount so she passed the phone to a co-worker who knew the customer in West Vancouver that the dropped the stuff off to. This employee advised the same issues as the owner and I retold 15
16 Compliance agreement Old No process to obtain formal agreement to comply New Legislatively recognized compliance agreement 16 16
17 Compliance Agreements In addition to canceling or upholding a ticket a Screening Officer may also enter into a Compliance Agreement with a disputant. A disputant who enters into a Compliance Agreement is conclusively deemed to have accepted liability for the bylaw contravention as set out in the bylaw notice. 17
18 Effect of Compliance Agreement The Compliance Agreement sets out the amount of any reduction in the fine penalty It may also include the terms and conditions the screening officer considers necessary or advisable. If the person who received the bylaw notice and who entered into the compliance agreement observes or performs all the terms of the agreement the bylaw bl notice is deemed to be paid. If however, in the opinion of the screening officer, the person breaches the compliance agreement the screening officer may rescind the agreement. 18
