A SPECIAL RESOLUTION calling for the rejection of Senate Bill 613.

WHEREAS, we in Indianapolis strive to be a place where all residents, no matter what we look like or where we

come from, can live, work, and raise a family without the drain of financial insecurity; and

WHEREAS, communities of color and low-income families in our city have historically suffered and continue to

suffer from discriminatory and abusive financial services practices that strip wealth and make it impossible to achieve a

secure financial footing; and

WHEREAS, Marion County is home to sixty payday loan storefronts that, in 2018, drained more than 12.5 million

dollars in fees from working families’ checking accounts; and

WHEREAS, these lenders make loans at exorbitant rates to borrowers who can least afford them, taking direct

access to their checking accounts as collateral on the loan, and spurring a cycle of reborrowing that leaves many in

delinquency, default, and bankruptcy; and

WHEREAS, SB 613 would not only expand what payday lenders can offer, allowing them to make much larger and

longer-term loans to even lower-income borrowers, but it would also increase rates and fees for subprime auto lenders

and authorize additional new predatory loan models in our state; and

WHEREAS, SB 613 changes the definition of criminal loan sharking, which is currently a felony and provides

strong protection against usurious lending; and

WHEREAS, the issue of credit access, banking deserts, and predatory lending has been suggested but not studied

by our legislature, now, therefore:

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY-COUNTY COUNCIL OF THE

CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS AND OF MARION COUNTY, INDIANA:

SECTION 1. The City-County Council calls upon the Indiana General Assembly and the Governor of Indiana to reject

Senate Bill 613.

SECTION 2. The City-County Council urges the Indiana General Assembly to engage in study of the needs of low-

income borrowers and communities of color in Indianapolis with respect to credit access and lending practices.

of projects. He asked for an update however with regard to the pace and progress of combatting

the pothole situation. Mr. Parker said that the capital plan and budget allowed them to get on top

of this problem earlier this year with more flexibility. They have been out since February 12 of

this year with hot asphalt and have addressed a good portion of service requests on major

thoroughfares. He said tha tthey have about 30% left to do on major thoroughfares; but last year it

was June 1st before they got to residentials, but if things continue, they should get there by April

this year. He said that they have more bodies to throw at the problem, as well as additional

contracting and more equipment. He said that Post Road was one of the major projects this last

weekend, and the crews have only had one weekend off this entire winter season. Councillor Clay

said that this is good news and he appreciates all their efforts.

Councillor Scales thanked Mr. Parker for his hard work, and all the workers. She said that she used

to work in Public Works, and Mr. Parker is one of the best directors they have had in this position.
