W <br />Q <br />Q <br />15 <br />REGULAR 14EETING <br />APRIL 2, 1979 <br />As Indiana Bell is presently converting their entire <br />system to a "dial tone first" it is felt that this will <br />provide the same purpose as a call box in the City. That <br />is, any person who desires to ring the fire alarm can use <br />a pay phone and dial 911 without depositing any money into <br />the telephone. Indiana Bell has indicated that they hope <br />to have this "dial -tone first" into South Bend within the <br />next two years. <br />Please note on the attached the items that I desire to be <br />cancelled from our contract with Indiana Bell. Your <br />consideration of the request is appreciated. <br />Very truly yours, <br />s/ Peter H. Mullen <br />Attachment; Cancellable Items: <br />1TFC - Trunk <br />1 NLW Emergency Reporting Serv.

Those businesses which presently have call boxes <br />have the alternative to �,o with one of the Arivate alarm companies <br />Mr. Mullen noted he had discussed this matter with Fire Department <br />officials and with Mr. Ellis of Indiana Bell and they concur in <br />this action, because of the limited use of the call boxes. Upon <br />motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, <br />the Board approved the recommendation and cancelled the contract <br />with Indiana Bell. The Clerk was directed to send notification <br />of the cancellation. <br />COMMUNITY GARDEN PROMRAM APPROVED <br />An updated form for the use of city -owned lots for gardening <br />purposes was submitted to the Board.
