RE: Camping Tickets
____________________________________________________________________________
The question was asked at the 6-09-2020 City Council meeting if camping tickets were up from previous
periods. The graphs and tables below illustrate camping tickets are cyclical based on the time of year and
consistently follow yearly trends. The recent March to April decline and April to May increase is likely due to
the Covid-19 Pandemic and associated protocols stemming from distancing guidelines. The average
number of tickets written (January through May) of 2020 is it up from the same period of 2019 by 7.4
tickets/month. However, 2020 was down from 2018 numbers by 4.8 tickets/month.
This table below has the totals by month and by year:
