ORDINANCE NO . L'° ~b ~~~ <br />AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, <br />INDIANA, AMENDING CHAPTER 20 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE <br />TO INCREASE THE FINE PROVIDED FOR PARKING IN AREAS <br />DESIGNATED BY SIGNS AS NO PARKING AREAS DURING <br />CERTAIN HOURS ON DATES OF SPECIAL EVENTS <br />---------------------------------------------------------------- <br />STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT <br />---------------------------------------------------------------- <br />The purpose of this ordinance is to amend Chapter 20 of the <br />Municipal Code to increase the fine provided for parking in areas <br />designated by signs as no parking areas during certain hours on <br />dates of Notre Dame home games or other special events. <br />The Common Council of the City of South Bend determines that <br />the public safety and welfare require that the City strongly <br />discourage the parking of vehicles in violation of posted signs <br />prohibiting parking during special events. Violations of such <br />parking restrictions cause already congested streets to become <br />impassable for emergency vehicles and others. <br />The Common Council also recognizes that without an increased <br />fine for violating the parking restrictions on posted signs, many <br />persons will continue to commit violations. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AS FOLLOWS: <br />SECTION I. Chapter 20, Article 6, Section 20-67 of the <br />South Bend Municipal Code shall be, and hereby is, amended to <br />read as follows: <br />Sec. 20-67. Parking prohibited or limited in certain <br />designated places; fine imposed. <br />(a) No Person shall park a vehicle at any time upon any <br />street, alley, municipal parking facility or highway in <br />any area where appropriate signs or markings have been <br />placed indicating that parking is prohibited or that <br />the area is a no-parking zone, nor in any area where <br />signs have been placed indicating that parking is <br />limited to a specified length of time for a period <br />longer than specified upon such signs, nor in any area <br />where signs have been placed indicating that parking is <br />prohibited during certain hours of the day or days or <br />portions of days of the week, during hours or portions <br />1 <br />
