REGULAR MEETING <br />PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR <br />APRIL 23, 2007 <br />COMMENTS FROM MR. PAUL BOROWSKI CONCERNING THE 4TH DISTRICT <br />Mr. Paul Borowski, 3217 Cabot Drive, South Bend, Indiana, stated that he has talked <br />with Councilmember's Puzzello and Dieter over the last couple of weeks about a problem <br />that has occurred in the 4~` District. The City did not want to work with the <br />Neighborhood Association with regard to Semi's parking in Tarkington Park. When he <br />called the police department to make a report, the dispatcher stated that there was no <br />Tarkington Park in the City of South Bend, Indiana, and suggested that he call the City of <br />Mishawaka. Finally, someone from the City Attorney's Office finally allowed someone <br />to red tag the truck and trailer and have it towed. The license plates were registered to a <br />company that did not exist. The semi has been parking at the park off and on and <br />everybody including the City Attorney's Office was afraid to touch it because of the <br />liability. The park is clearly marked "No Overnight Parking Allowed." This is very <br />frustrating and residents should not have to wait for over three months to have an issue <br />like this resolved. The same goes for when the City uses Tarkington Park to dump the <br />leaves that it has cleaned up in the various neighborhoods. This looks terrible and should <br />not be allowed. The city owns the lot and one would think that they would take care of it, <br />but they don't. The neighbors are trying to keep up their properties and then are forced to <br />live next to something like this. There are two abandoned car washes already on Edison <br />Road that the neighbors have to deal with. It's just too bad that the City can't get <br />together to do things in the 4a` District, it does exist. Ann does a good job of representing <br />the District, Councilmember Dieter patrols in 4a` District, City Clerk John Voorde lives in <br />the 4~` District, and it's a great place to live. The residents would like some help from the <br />City to help keep it that way. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business to come before the Council, President Rouse adjourned <br />the meeting at 9:23 p.m. <br />ATTEST: ATTEST: <br />John Voorde, City Clerk Timothy A. Rouse, President <br />28 <br />
