Seasonal Parking Regulations:

tomorrow is the 15th, an odd numbered day, the odd numbered side
parking begins at 5:01pm this evening, the 14th. All posted no
parking zones remain in effect.
April 15th – August 15th, parking is prohibited on the south
side of W. Centralia Street from Park Street to Devendorf Street
by the baseball diamonds.
Parking Ticket Fines:
Parking fines are $20 except for handicap parking which is
$75. Those fees will increase to $40 and $125 respectively if not paid within ten days. If the
fine is still not paid within 30 days, the fine will increase to
$80 and $200 respectively. If parking tickets are not paid, the
vehicle registration is subject to being suspended by the State
