ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 43-1989 - AUTHORIZING THE CITY ENGINEER TO PETITION THE COMMON COUNCIL TO AMEND SECTIONS 20-112 AND 20-113 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE Mr. Leszczynski advised that Resolution No. 43-1989 authorizing the City Engineer to petition the Common Council to amend Sections 20-112 and 20-113 of the Municipal Code has been submitted to the Board for adoption. Board Attorney Jenny Pitts Manier indicated that the Board of Public Works has jurisdiction over traffic regulations. Rather than have the Board file an amendment to the Municipal Code with the Common Council, this Resolution authorizes the City Engineer to file the amendment. Ms. Manier noted that the change is in the Mobility Handicapped Parking ordinance. The amendment deletes the requirement that the curbs be painted blue and confirms the increases in the fine for violations of this section. This Resolution submitted to the Board today indicates the Board's approval of this change. Mr. Leszczynski noted that there have been problems in the enforcement of the ordinance during the winter when the blue curbs are not visible. He reiterated Ms. Manier's comments that the proposed amendment to the Mobility Handicapped Parking ordinance takes away the blue curb requirement. He noted that the appropriate signs are already visible and that the handicapped parking spaces in the downtown area will continue to be painted blue even though it will not be required.
