REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 28, 1982 Mrs. Katherine Barnard, Director of the Neighborhood Code Enforce- ment Office, advised that, in accordance with the ordinance regulating scrap yards, inspections had been conducted by her department for those scrap yards in which applications for 1983 licenses had been received. She noted that 17 scrap dealers had applied for their 1983 licenses, and she stated that 15 of the currently -licensed scrap dealers as noted in the above resolu- tion were found to be in compliance with applicable laws. She stated that South Bend Baling and Iron Company was in compliance except for the painting of the required fence along the north and south sides of the property, and she recommended approval of a 1983 license and an extension to May 1, 1983, for the painting of the fence. In the case of Hurwich Iron Company, 1610 Circle Avenue, and Super Auto Salvage, 3300 South Main, she stated that the yards were not yet in full compliance but would be within the next two weeks. She was hopeful the Board could act upon those two applications at its first or second meeting in January so that a favorable recommendation could be sent to the Council for action at its first meeting in January. It was noted that South Main Auto Parts, 1819 South Main Street, had not as yet applied for its 1983 license because the company was not yet in operation. Mr. Leszczynski stated that, in addition to the inspections conducted by the Neighborhood Code Enforcement Office, the Fire Prevention Bureau also conducted an inspection of the above scrap yards and found no violations of the fire code. He noted that copies of the inspection reports were attached to the original applications. Mr. Leszczynski asked Mrs. Barnard if she had contacted the Council's committee dealing with scrap yards to inform it of the favorable inspections and the fact that the Council would be asked to approve issuance of the licenses at its first meeting in January. Mrs. Barnard advised that she would be contacting the Council members concerning the matter. Upon a motion made by Mr. Kernan, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the above Resolution No. 31, 1982, recommending Council approval of license renewals for various scrap dealers was adopted, and the Clerk was instructed to prepare the necessary Council resolution for final action by that body at its first meeting in January.
