May 21 , 1971 <br /> TO: Members of the Common Council <br /> SUBJECT: Resolution to designate signatory for an application for federal <br /> assistance on the Model Cities Sewers Separation Project. <br /> An application for federal assistance was made to the Department of Housing <br /> and Urban Development for the purpose of separating the combined sewers in <br /> the Model Cities area. This partial application was reviewed by HUD and <br /> we were informed on May 20, 1971 that the application met their minimum <br /> criteria for further consideration. They now desire that we submit a "full" <br /> application for this project. <br /> One of the required parts of this application is a resolution by the Council <br /> denoting a signatory for this full application. To satisfy this requirement <br /> a resolution has been prepared for your consideration. <br /> As a sidelight, it should be noted that South Bend presently is mandated by <br /> the Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board to separate all of the City' s <br /> combined sewers by 1977. Thus , any assistance in this direction should be <br /> welcome. <br /> Finally, let me apologize for not presenting this matter at the Thursday <br /> caucus meeting. We were aware that this blank application was on the way but <br /> we were not apprised of the necessity for this particular resolution. In <br /> addition, we have given HUD a verbal commitment to return the completed <br /> application within two weeks after receipt. Since this deadline will be before <br /> the next regular meeting, we have submitted the resolution at this time. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> eX <br /> David A. Wells <br /> DAW/m km <br />
