Council takes first reading on parking ordinance to enforce placarded spaces in city garages
Summary
Assistant city attorney presented a first‑reading amendment to Chapters 72 and 75 to allow enforcement of parking limits in city‑owned or leased parking garages, citing Indiana Code 36‑9‑11‑3; council advanced the measure to second reading.
Assistant City Attorney Whitney Wampler presented a first reading to amend Fishers ordinances governing stopping, standing and parking to allow enforcement of certain parking limitations within city‑owned or leased parking garages.
Wampler cited Indiana Code 36‑9‑11‑3 as authorizing municipalities to regulate parking facilities, including city‑owned parking garages, and said the proposed changes would allow enforcement where spaces are reserved for specific businesses that display authorized placards. She said those spaces would be enforced during business hours and that the changes are intended to mirror existing placard practices.
Council took the ordinance as a first reading and will consider the measure on second reading at the next meeting.
Wampler answered a council request for clarification about what was changing in the code: the amendment targets labeled/placarded spaces in certain city garages to allow enforcement where businesses have existing placards.
