Council amends parking meter fund ordinance; Councilor Sanders previews parking app approach
Summary
Council amended ordinance 29 20 24 to change its effective date to 'upon passage' and heard a preview that parking 'meters' will operate via an app rather than physical meters; the amendment was moved, seconded and passed at the pre-council meeting.
The West Lafayette council voted to amend ordinance number 29 20 24, which establishes the West Lafayette parking meter fund, changing the ordinance’s effective date to take effect upon passage. The motion to amend was made and seconded during the pre-council session and carried by voice vote.
Councilor Sanders, who sponsored the related regulation ordinance, said the city’s approach to parking management will rely on a parking app rather than installing physical meters. Sanders told colleagues the change responds to growth in the city and parking changes related to Purdue University and said he planned to speak in greater detail at the Tuesday meeting.
Council discussed sequencing the two related ordinances, with Sanders suggesting the fund ordinance be adopted before the ordinance that regulates the parking system. No final vote on the parking-regulation ordinance (28 20 24) occurred at the pre-council session; both ordinances are scheduled for further consideration at the regular meeting.
Next steps: ordinance 29 20 24 has been amended and remains on the upcoming council agenda; the council will address ordinance 28 20 24 (parking regulation) at Tuesday’s meeting.
