COMPLAINT - RE: PROPOSED EXPANSION OF POTAWATOMI ZOO Mr. Darrell Coller was present representing residents of Ironwood Drive who are protesting the proposed expansion of the zoo at aj Potawatomi Park.

COURTESY PARKING TICKETS Louis Wilcox, Director, River Bend Plaza, submitted to the Board samples of Courtesy Parking Tickets to be given to overtime parkers who are from out-of-state parking in the downtown area near the Plaza. There was a discussion about use of such tickets. Mr. Wadzinski, Bureau of Traffic and Lighting, said he would not recommend using these tickets. He said South Bend is a border town to another state and there are three universities in the area, which means there are many out-of-state cars in the area all the time. He said he did not feel courtesy parking should be extended at meters to anyone, as it would not be fair to local residents. It was suggested that the Chamber of Commerce Visitors Bureau might want to include some kind of courtesy parking pass in materials they pass out'to visitors. It was decided that this matter would be investigated further. *** There being no further business to come before the Board, upon motion made, seconded and carried, the meeting ad-ourned at 11:25 a.m. 1 Rollin E. Farrand *** APPROVAL OF STREET SERVICES - SEE PAGE 138
