Attendees included: Assistant City Attorney Ann-Carol Nash, South Bend <br />Police Officer Robert Hammer, Common Council Members Ann Puzzello and AI <br />"Buddy" Kirsits, University of Notre Dame Representatives Student Body President <br />Catherine Soler, Claire Sokas and Tim Sexton, Saint Mary's Representatives Rachel <br />Chesley and Patrick Daniel, Robinson Center Adult Program Coordinator Marguerite <br />Taylor, Attorney Richard Nussbaum, Representative of Indiana University South Bend <br />Jeff Jones, Alcoholic Beverage Board Member Mike Carrington, Mark Kramer of Kramer <br />Properties, Neighborhood Residents Matt Costello and Kyle Chamberlain and South <br />Bend Tribune Reporter Margaret Fosmoe. <br />INDIANA UNIVERSITY SOUTH BEND <br />Jeff Jones greeted everyone and hoped there was no difficulty with parking. He stated <br />that this year for the Fall Semester there were 8,590 students which is 10% higher than <br />last year and is an all time high. A record was also set in the last two years for number <br />of credit hours. This means there is continuing growth in full-time students as opposed <br />to part-time (now at 30%). IUSB is having increasing parking problems due to this <br />growth in student population. They have acquired 39 properties and owned and <br />managed those properties. This year -not as much -due to the plan to begin to tear <br />these properties down and they want to minimize controversy. The tear down is to <br />increase parking availability that is badly needed. A parking garage is a possibility. <br />IUSB now has 400 beds in the River Crossing Suites that are 2-4 bedrooms for on- <br />campus housing and this year there were 295 occupants. Most students are local <br />residents so the choice can be to live at home or move on campus. <br />Ann Puzzello asked Jeff which student lives farthest away and he responded that there <br />are some athletes from different parts of Michigan, a few from the East Coast and 233 <br />
