Michiana council clarifies paid‑parking rules, keeps event parking free
Summary
Council clarified that resident hang tags and golf‑cart stickers remain valid for reserved spots in front of Village Hall, visitors may pay $10 per hour or use free lots, and event‑day parking will remain free.
Council member Tim McCarthy explained the village’s intention behind recent parking changes at the June 13 meeting, stressing that resident parking near Village Hall is prioritized and that tags and stickers remain in effect.
McCarthy said resident hang tags must be displayed on rearview mirrors and golf carts should place stickers on the back fender; those tags have been used for a designated spot at Stop 41 for $10 per year and can now be used for Village Hall parking. He said the council created more parking for pickleball players along Cherokee Drive and that visitors wishing to park in front of Village Hall will pay $10 an hour or use free parking over by Michiana Drive or Cherokee Drive.
McCarthy emphasized the policy was intended to preserve close parking for taxpayers using village services and facilities, and that the council did not intend to discourage visitors. He noted that when the Village hosts events such as music in the park, parking in front of Village Hall will be free.
The transcript records questions from residents about the paid parking area during public comment; no fee‑enforcement procedures or ticketing protocols were described on the record.
