REGULAR MEETING <br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />There was no unfinished business. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />There was no new business. <br />PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR <br />MARCH 29, 2016 <br />Gary King, 730 N. Hill Street South Bend, stated with no disrespect to the people who designed <br />the new flag or to the selection committee but the current design does not adhere to the <br />guidelines set out by the Council in their flag resolution. The flag includes a red star with six (6) <br />points, supposedly to represent the six (6) council districts, which was a guideline not established <br />by the Council. This star also mimics the star on Chicago's flag and South Bend should not try to <br />mimic Chicago we should be our own city. <br />Jason Banicki Critchlow, 3822 W. Ford St. South Bend, stated he enjoyed seeing so many people <br />come out today and wishes they came out like that more often because the more voices that come <br />out can only strengthen our democracy. He wanted to point out that there were two (2) shootings <br />last night and the additional $25,000 is not enough to the police to stem that tide. Yes the <br />economy is improving but we need to do more to thoroughly analyze how our police can keep us <br />safe and make a dent in the rising crime. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business to come before the Council, President Tim Scott adjourned the <br />meeting at 10:40 p.m. <br />19 <br />
