As a result of these continuing discussions, we are pleased to file a 2nd Substitute Bill No. 44-07. Our primary goals are to protect the residents of our residential neighborhoods; to protect all visitors who come to our residential neighborhoods; to formally establish a community/campus coalition; and to establish a mechanism to permit limited residential lawn parking on a city-wide basis. Some of the key items in 2°a Substitute Bill No. 44-07 include: Proposing regulations which carefully balance the rights of residents in the neighborhood with the responsibilities of the person(s) who host special events Creating a 19-member Community/Campus Advisory Coalition (CCAC) composed of neighborhood residents, City appointed and elected officials, Officials from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana University South Bend and St. Mary's College, and the Student Body Presidents of each of these institutions who would meet on a regular basis throughout the year and make advisory recommendations to the Community Relations Committee and the Residential Neighborhoods Committee (See Sec. 15-52, pp. 4-S for more detail • Enabling the CCAC to collaborate, brainstorm and make advisory recommendations to the Council, with the boarding house regulations being implemented at such later date when the Common Council determines that they are needed in order to protect the quality of life in negatively affected residential neighborhoods or if there is a lack of substantial progress by the CCAC [Applications governing such special events would be required S days prior to a proposed event] (See Sec. VIII on page 14)
