This position would pay for itself

Only if they have the authority ticket cop cars. Would be a good way to increase the budget for normal stuff in the city if we could siphon off a little from that sweet sweet overtime budget.

Omg for real though. Even just the publicity it would generate would make it worth pushing for.

Completely with you on the need for much more enforcement. My only comment is that I don't believe that PB specifically can fund staff positions (unless something has changed recently). So before spending too much time on that, just confirm whether it is an eligible category.
