REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 10, 2009 limited proposed changes to the regulations to make it even more positive with regard to the implementation of it. The ordinance before the Council tonight would offer a 10% discount for those individuals who would like to seek a seasonal conditional lawn use parking permit for an entire football season. This year the University of Notre Dame has seven (7) homes games, individuals that would qualify for that discount would have to apply prior to the first home game, otherwise the full rate would be implemented. She stated that Mr. Gilot’s office does a yeoman work in the implementation of this ordinance with regard to checking to make sure that there is safety ingress/egress and that the maximum amount of vehicles that can be parked on the lawns is appropriate for sight distances and all of things that engineers do in their careers. As a result of that they needed additional lead time so the ordinance will change the deadline from the Thursday, to Wednesday at 12:00 prior to the home game. Lastly, there were some housekeeping amendments that were found that were necessary that were basically to improve it. She asked for the Council’s favorable support. This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. There being no one present wishing to speak to the Council either in favor of or in opposition to this bill, Councilmember Dieter made a motion for favorable recommendation to full Council concerning this bill as amended.
