§ 36-9-11-4 — Surveys and studies; submission of recommendations to safety board and legislative body

(a) From time to time the municipality shall
make or cause to be made surveys and studies necessary to determine
the need for and proper location of parking facilities, giving due
consideration to:
(1) the free and safe movement of traffic;
(2) the terminal points and concentration of traffic; and
(3) the adequacy of privately owned parking lots or structures.
(b) This subsection applies only to cities. On the basis of the surveys
and studies, recommendations shall be made to the safety board and the
legislative body concerning the general location, size, and character of,
and probable cost of acquiring and developing, needed parking
facilities. The safety board shall consider the recommendations and, if
it rejects them, shall state its objections in writing and refer the
recommendations back to the persons making them. If the safety board
approves the recommendations, it shall adopt a resolution to that effect
and submit the recommendations to the legislative body for acceptance
or rejection. If the legislative body rejects the recommendations, it shall
adopt a resolution stating its objections and refer the recommendations
back to the persons making them. If the legislative body approves the
recommendations, it shall adopt a resolution to that effect. Upon
approval of the recommendations by the legislative body, the city
works board may proceed as provided by this chapter, and shall
proceed in accordance with the legislative body's direction.
(c) This subsection applies only to towns. If, on the basis of the
surveys and studies, the legislative body finds that there is a need for
parking facilities of any kind, it shall adopt a resolution to that effect.
