The initial $100.00 registration fee would be paid from <br />the Unsafe Building Fund. I will be available as the presenter on behalf of the Department <br />This is a State of Indiana program that requires for property damaged by fire or explosion that a <br />percentage of the insurance proceeds be side aside and held in escrow until the repairs are made or <br />the property has been demolished. Should the city have to take action, this law provides some <br />protection to the city from property owners who might choose to take insurance proceeds and fail <br />to repair or clean up their damaged property. <br />On behalf of the Department of Code Enforcement, it is my belief that this ordinance is in the best <br />interest of the citizens of the City of South Bend. <br />Respectfully, <br />Randy Wilkerson <br />Director of Code Enforcement <br />Filed in Clerk's Office <br />AUG .1 6 ?016 <br />KMEEMAH FOW►,a <br />C'TYCLERK, SOUTH BEND.
