Over the coming year, we will continue to make improvements and lead initiatives to meet our agency mandate.
3:04:00
Our work will continue to be guided by the principles of fairness, equity, and respect for our customers.
3:04:06
We are making changes on our parking violations bureau to make disputing a ticket easier and fairer for drivers, and we're tackling the problem of tickets issued to motorists whose license plates have been stolen or lost, in part by allowing the Office of the Parking Summons Advocate to represent vehicle owners who receive multiple tickets against lost or stolen plates.

We continue to expand digital access to apply for and manage personal exemptions, including the veterans, clergy, and star programs, And we are moving full steam ahead on what will be a legacy initiative for mayor Adams and this council, the long awaited reform of our property tax system.
3:04:43
Many of our initiatives will require your support, and we look forward to working with the council on these and other proposals.
