C.
The fines provided for in § 439-26A (Citation rates) shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the following procedure:
(1)
Until December 31, 2016, the citation rates shall be as set forth
above and on the Schedule of Citation Rates described in Exhibit A,[1] which is attached hereto and incorporated herein. The columns labeled as "calculated value" on the Schedule of Citation Rates reflect annual increases of 3% (year-over-year) in the citation rates (assuming base rates of $25, $35, and $55, respectively). On January 1 of each calendar year, the Schedule of Citation Rates shall be updated in the event that the annual percentage change in the index (as defined below) exceeds 3%, as measured by a comparison of the index from the month of June, two calendar years prior to the calendar year in question to the index for the month of June of the calendar year immediately prior to the calendar year in question, by increasing the calculated value figure for the calendar year in question by the percentage change in the index. After updating the Schedule of Citation Rates in accordance with this § 439-26C, if necessary, on January 1 of each calendar year, the citation rates for that particular calendar year shall equal the amount set forth in the columns labeled as "established rate" on the Schedule of Citation Rates if the calculated value for that particular year exceeds the established rate for the calendar year immediately preceding the particular calendar year. If said calculated value is less than said established rate, then the citation rates for the calendar year in question shall be equal to the citation rates for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in question. A Schedule of Citation Rates updated pursuant to this § 439-26C shall be maintained in the City Clerk's Office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the citation rates shall not be increased for any given year unless the metered parking rates set forth in Council File No. 91, 2002, as amended, have also been increased for such year pursuant to the procedures set forth therein.

"Index" means the "Consumer Price Index - United States City Average
for all Urban Consumers, All Items Index" (not seasonally adjusted),
as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics; provided, however, that if the index is changed so that
the base year of the index changes, the index shall be converted in
accordance with the conversion factor published by the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; provided further
that if the index is discontinued or revised, such other index or
computation with which it is replaced shall be used in order to obtain
substantially the same result as would be obtained if the index had
not been discontinued or revised.
D.
All violators shall pay fines to the office or mailing address designated
on the violation notice.
