Commissioners approve YWCA donation drive on courthouse lawn with location restriction
Summary
Elkhart County commissioners approved a request to use the courthouse lawn for a YWCA donation drive on June 14, restricting the event to the north side of the courthouse to avoid bus stops and judges' parking.
The Elkhart County Board of Commissioners on May 27 approved a request to use the courthouse lawn for a YWCA donation drive scheduled June 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., adding a restriction that the event be held on the north side of the courthouse.
County Administrator Jeff Taylor advised the board that available space around the courthouse is limited, noting the presence of a bus stop and judges' parking; he suggested the north side as the most suitable location. “You may wanna consider some limitations on exactly where this place can be,” Taylor said, citing bus stops and judges' parking.
A commissioner moved to restrict the event to the north side; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
Why it matters: The restriction aims to avoid disruption to courthouse operations and transit stops while allowing the community donation drive to proceed.
The board instructed staff to add the north-side restriction to the event permit documentation.
