DERosE <br />CITY ATTORNEY <br />Filed in a i Office <br />4 U 13 <br />NIN V00 CITY CLERK, SDinq OR IN <br />Re: Ordinance Amending the South Bend Municipal Code — Handicap Parking Violation <br />Penalties <br />Dear President Dieter: <br />Attached for filing with the South Bend Common Council is a Bill/ Ordinance amending <br />various sections of the South Bend Municipal Code pertaining to the penalty for parking <br />unlawfully in a space reserved for a person with a physical disability. Specifically, the ordinance <br />amends Chapter 20, Article 9, Sections 20 -112 and 20- 113.4; Chapter 19, Article 3, Section 19- <br />63(c) (2); and Chapter 2, Article 19, Section 2 -213. <br />During the 2013 session of the Indiana General Assembly, the State penalty for <br />infractions related to parking unlawfully in spaces reserved for persons with a physical disability <br />was increased from $50.00 to $100.00, effective July 1, 2013. By State statute (IC 5- 16- 9- 9(b)), <br />any local law which regulates such parking, as South Bend does, must be consistent with State <br />law. That is why this ordinance is being filed with the South Bend Common Council. <br />I will present this Bill to the Common Council at its appropriate committee meeting and <br />at the public hearing during the Common Council's regular meeting. <br />Thank you for your consideration of this matter. <br />Aladean M.
