Agenda: Bill No# 32 -13 Handicap Parking
Health & Public Safety Committee•Chair Karen White called the Committee to order at 3:30 noting a
quorum was present to review substitute bill 32 -13. This bill was presented to committee by Chief
Deputy City Attorney Aladean DeRose. Aladean said that the Indiana General Assembly in their last
session has raised handicapped parking violation fines from $50.00 to $100.00, because local law cannot
conflict with state law. South Bend was required to set its violation fee at $100.00 as well.
Derek Dieter asked if the fine increase was applicable to private property violations and would this
require the city to print new tickets. Aladean said yes to both.
Karen White asked how many tickets for handicapped parking violations were issued last year and the
amount of money collected. Aladean promised to provide answers by the 7:00 meeting.
Aladean explained the purpose of the substitute bill was to change the handicapped reference in the bill
to disabled.
Karen called for action on the substitute bill. Tim Scott moved for acceptance. Dr. Ferlic seconded and
all affirmed.
Tim followed with a motion to recommend favorably. Dr. Ferlic again seconded. All affirmed.
Karen adjourned at 3:37 P.M.
Respectfully Submitted,
aren White, Chairperson
