This bill was presented to committee by Chief <br />Deputy City Attorney Aladean DeRose. Aladean said that the Indiana General Assembly in their last <br />session has raised handicapped parking violation fines from $50.00 to $100.00, because local law cannot <br />conflict with state law. South Bend was required to set its violation fee at $100.00 as well. <br />Derek Dieter asked if the fine increase was applicable to private property violations and would this <br />require the city to print new tickets. Aladean said yes to both. <br />Karen White asked how many tickets for handicapped parking violations were issued last year and the <br />amount of money collected. Aladean promised to provide answers by the 7:00 meeting. <br />Aladean explained the purpose of the substitute bill was to change the handicapped reference in the bill <br />to disabled. <br />Karen called for action on the substitute bill. Tim Scott moved for acceptance. Dr. Ferlic seconded and <br />all affirmed. <br />Tim followed with a motion to recommend favorably. Dr. Ferlic again seconded. All affirmed. <br />Karen adjourned at 3:37 P.M. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />aren White, Chairperson <br />Health & Public Safety <br />
