Following further discussion, Council Member Pfeifer made a motion, seconded by Council Member Washington that Bill No. 11-96 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. The Committee then reviewed substitute Bill No. 12-96 which would amend Chapter 20 dealing with overtime parking fines. City Clerk Lorretta Duda made the presentation. She stated that their office determined that several sections other than Section 20-18 were involved in the proposed amendment and therefore filed a substitute Bill. She stated that her staff had done a comparison with other cities and towns and found that no one had as short period as South Bend in paying parking fines. . ,
