Colin Moore, the Director of Parks & Sustainability for Neptune Beach, says it\u2019s because the city has new software making it easier to track parking violations, compensating for their lack of enforcement manpower. <\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s going to deter even more people from coming. As if the parking prices haven\u2019t already done that. As if the gas prices haven\u2019t already done that,\u201d Julian Uribe said, who was having breakfast in the Beaches Town Center. <\/p>\n The way to pay is to go to the city\u2019s official portal, click on \u201csearch tickets,\u201d then enter your license plate number. It costs $2.50 per hour, every day from 11:00 AM to midnight. Violators face a $60 fine. <\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/a>]<\/p>\n \u201cPeople don\u2019t want to pay $2.50 just to park and grab your coffee real quick,\u201d Uribe said. <\/p>\n The city says that a 30-minute grace period is issued before any citation is given.
