REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 14, 1991 <br />1 <br />Mr. Leszczynski thanked Mr. Cronk for voicing his concerns and <br />stated that the Board rests comfortably that the Redevelopment <br />Authority has exhausted every possibility to rent the building <br />and suggested that Mr. Cronk talk to the Department of Economic <br />Development about other relocation possibilities. Mr. Cronk <br />stated that the building slated for demolition is the only <br />building he would relocate to. <br />APPROVE RECOMMENDATION TO REJECT BIDS AND READVERTISE FOR THE <br />RECEIPT OF BIDS - ONE (1) DUAL REAR WHEEL CHASSIS (FIRE <br />DEPARTMENT' <br />In a letter to the Board, Fire Chief Luther Taylor advised that <br />after reviewing the bids received from Jordon Motors, Inc., of <br />Mishawaka, Gates Chevy World of South Bend and Carl Summers Ford <br />Company of Fortville, Indiana, for one (1) one ton chassis, he <br />recommends that all bids be rejected due to availability of new <br />information. It is noted that these bids were opened by the <br />Board on December 31, 1990. <br />Chief Taylor further advised the Board that he has recently <br />received new information on a heavier, light duty chassis that is <br />available in a crewcab that meets their needs. They are <br />currently using one of these chassis on one of their ambulances <br />and have another one on order. This chassis has been the <br />solution to many of their problems in the past and they believe <br />it is well worth the time and in the best interests of the City <br />to get a chassis that will eliminate many of their problems in <br />the future. Chief Taylor noted that this chassis will be used <br />for towing their thirty-five foot (351) hazardous materials <br />trailer. <br />Therefore, the Fire Department requests permission to readvertise <br />for one (1) dual rear wheel 14,500 G.V.W. Crewcab Chassis. A <br />Lease Purchase Agreement, funded by the E.M.S. Capital <br />Improvement Fund will be the method use for payment. <br />Therefore, Mrs. DeClercq made a motion that the bids received on <br />December 31, 1990, be rejected and that the request to <br />readvertise for the receipt of bids for one (1) dual rear wheel <br />14,500 G.V.W. Crewcab Chassis be approved. Ms. Humphreys <br />seconded the motion which carried. <br />DENY PETITION FOR RESTRICTED RESIDENTIAL PARKING ZONE - 900 BLOCK <br />SOUTH TWYCKENHAM DRIVE <br />Mr. Leszczynski stated that the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting <br />has recommended that the Petition for the Establishment of a <br />Restricted Residential Parking Zone in the 900 block of South <br />Twyckenham Drive, which was submitted to the Board on December <br />10, 1990, be denied. <br />The Bureau advised that a study was conducted on December 19, <br />1990 from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The study reveals that <br />ordinance requirements were not met. The average percentage of <br />occupancy was thirteen per cent (13%) and ordinance requirements <br />indicate that seventy-five per cent (750) is required. <br />Additionally, the percentage of non-resident vehicle registration <br />was thirteen per cent (130) and ordinance requirements indicate <br />that twenty-five per cent (250) must be met. Therefore, Mr. <br />Leszczynski made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and <br />the Petition be denied. Ms. Humphreys seconded the motion which <br />carried. <br />DENY REQUESTS TO PURCHASE CITY -OWNED PROPERTY: <br />- 841 SOUTH GRANT STREET <br />- 1113-BURNS STREET <br />- LOT 16 - KUNSTMAN'S ADDITION <br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that requests to purchase the above <br />
