City Vehicle Sticker Sales and State Services Day June 19 in 20th Ward
Clerk Mendoza and Alderman Cochran Host Sticker Sales and Services Day for 20th Ward Residents
With Secretary of State Jesse White and State Treasurer Dan Rutherford Providing Other Services: State ID’s & Driver License; Cash Dash & Bright Start Education Savings Program
Chicago, Ill. (April 30, 2012) – Alderman Willie B. Cochran and City Clerk Susana Mendoza are teaming up to give motorists the opportunity to purchase their City Vehicle Stickers near their home. On Tuesday, June 19, the City Clerk’s Office and Alderman Cochran are hosting a dedicated sales day at the 20th Ward Service Office, 6357 S. Cottage Grove Avenue from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“Our City Vehicle Stickers in ward sales are always very popular. I’m glad to partner with Alderman Cochran to offer this service,” said Clerk Mendoza. “Many of our improvements for sticker sales this year came directly from constituents at the ward sales. I’ll be visiting each sale day again and look forward to getting even more ideas and feedback from residents.”
NEW WILL CALL SERVICE FOR CITY STICKERS
“Residents of the 20th Ward greatly appreciate the convenience of getting their City Vehicle Stickers at my Ward Service Office each year,” said Alderman Cochran. “This year they will have the added convenience of a New Will Call program so that residents can come to my office to get an envelope in which they can place their renewal form, check or money order made payable to City Clerk, and copy of their Driver’s License no later than Wed., June 13. Residents will then simply pick up their stickers at our Ward sale day on June 19.”
“As part of my ongoing effort to provide 20th residents with a wide range of needed services, this year we are again including State ID services and Driver license renewal sales by the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office and the Illinois Treasurer’s Cash Dash and Bright Start programs as an added service,” Ald. Cochran added.
The 2011-2012 City Vehicle Stickers expire on June 30 and enforcement begins on July 16. In addition to the [ Ward sale day, stickers are available at all City Clerk and Department of Finance office locations, at more than 400 community vendors and online at www.chicityclerk.com.
City Vehicle Stickers are $85 for a passenger vehicle and $135 for a large passenger vehicle. Annual residential parking is $25 and a set of 15 daily residential guest permits is $8. Senior citizens with a valid Illinois driver’s license are eligible for one reduced rate vehicle sticker for $30.
Motorists must know their vehicle license plate, make and model when purchasing their stickers. City vehicle stickers purchased after July 15 are subject to a $60 late fee and drivers may receive a $200 citation.
