WARWICK, RI —The Warwick City Council is poised to vote final passage of an ordinance prohibiting off-road vehicles from public property and another establishing parking fees at City beaches tonight at City Hall, 7 p.m.

The ordinance prohibiting off-road vehicles on public property (parks and streets) applies to snowmobiles, dirt bikes and ATVs. Violations of the ordinance would be punishable by impounding or towing the vehicle and a maximum $500 fine and/or up to 30 days imprisonment.

The ordinance establishing parking fees at City beaches, which passed its first hurdle unanimously Aug. 21, would set up resident and non-resident parking fees for Oakland Beach, City Park Beach and Conimicut Beach during the 2018 summer season.

(1) Season passes (per season): a. Resident, per car : $10  – $20
