SKATEBOARDER FEE LOWERED S.S.

THE PARENTS OF A SKATEBOARDER WILL BE PAYING A FEE THAT IS MORE LIKE WHAT THEY EXPECTED. THE CITY OF SCOTTS VALLEY HAS COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH SKATEBOARDER CHRISTOPHER WELTY?S PARENTS. INSTEAD OF PAYING 360 DOLLARS, BECAUSE THEIR SON DID NOT WEAR HIS HELMET AT THE NEW SKATEPARK, THEY AGREED TO A 103 DOLLAR FINE INSTEAD. WELTY WILL PAY OFF THAT FINE BY DOING 15 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE. THE CITY IS CONSIDERING LOWERING THE BASE FINE FOR THE VIOLATION.
