ATTORNEY’S REPORT – Attorney Singler
– Ordinance # 12-01, an Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Codified Section 111.03 of the City
of Hurstbourne Codified Ordinances Pertaining to License Fees, which had received first reading at the last Commission meeting, was placed on the table for discussion. Since there were a number of questions raised during discussion, Commissioner Hays made the motion to table this ordinance until the next Commission meeting; his motion was seconded by Commissioner Wagner. Motion carried.
– Attorney Singler reported that he has spoken to the opposing attorney in the Karla Davis case and a proposal may be made in the near future for the Commission’s review.
– Attorney Singler gave an update on the case involving 302 Buckingham Terrace. He will continue to monitor this and report back to the Commission.
– Attorney Singler referred to the City’s parking ordinance which requires individuals to fill their
driveway with vehicles before parking on the street. However, Wessex Place has garages in the rear but no driveways and Attorney Singler thought the ordinance was not applicable to those residents. Since this issue has previously been before the Commission, C.A.O. Leidgen will research the Minutes of past meetings and report back with the results.
