LUECKE, MAYOR COMMUNITY 8L ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT August 20, 2003 Ms. Karen White President, South Bend Common Council 41h Floor, County-City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Re: Ordinance to Increase Overtime Parking Fines Dear Ms. White: Attached for consideration by the South Bend Common Council is an Ordinance amending Chapter 20, Article 1, Section 20-18 of the South Bend Municipal Code to increase from five dollars ($5.00) to ten dollars ($10.00) the prescribed fine for overtime parking if the fine is paid within fourteen (14) days. The Ordinance further provides that the prescribed fine will increase from fifteen dollars ($15.00) to twenty dollars ($20.00) if the fine is paid after fourteen days of notice. This fine increase is necessary due to the passage of time since the fines were last increased. It is further necessary because the municipally owned daytime parking garage fees have been increased and the new daily rate is five dollars ($5.00). If the parking garage fees and overtime parking fines are the same, it may encourage non- compliance with prescribed parking time limits. We hope that the Common Council will find that this overtime parking fine increase is in the best overall interest of the City and its citizens(to be effective 01/01/04). I will attend the Common Council's committee meeting to discuss this Ordinance and answer any questions you may have. I will also present the Ordinance to the Common Council at its public hearing.
