®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> Mr. Perri went on,There are a few other things I would like to show you as I am asked about these <br /> bigger high-profile projects. Howard Park will see construction starting late summer at this point. <br /> We have had a few setbacks but we are working on it. There are some wonderful renderings online. <br /> There are different parks throughout the City. You got your neighborhood parks, then you have <br /> the City-wide parks, but then there are the regional parks that we hope draw in people from all <br /> over the area. The other one(1)I will give you an update on is Seitz Park. These are the renderings <br /> and we haven't even posted these on the website yet. It will have restrooms in it for the first time <br /> ever. <br /> Committee Chair McBride opened the floor to questions and comments from Committee and <br /> Council Members. <br /> Committeemember Erin Patzkowsky asked, Is there anything we can do to get the clean-up kicked <br /> off? <br /> Committee Chair McBride replied, I have a meeting with the Sunnymeade Neighborhood <br /> Association as well as SOAR. I will get some dates for the clean-up and propose them to the <br /> Committee. <br /> Mr. Perri replied, We have also started our volunteer program. It is about nine (9) months old <br /> officially. We are helping people log volunteer hours. They get invited to annual volunteer events <br /> and if you get any volunteers, we would love to get them into the data base. <br /> Councilmember Karen White asked, Could we get an update on the Charles Black Center in terms <br /> of progress and when it's going to open? Are there any changes? As you may be aware when we <br /> started talking about the West Side streets there were some issues there. I want to make sure we <br /> are still heading in the right direction. <br /> Mr. Perri replied, I understand and can provide that update at the next meeting. <br /> Councilmember Regina Williams-Preston asked,Will 100 Black Men have an office in the Charles <br /> Black? <br /> Mr. Perri replied, I am not aware of that. <br /> Councilmember White stated, They do have an office at the Charles Martin Youth Center. <br /> Committeemember Oliver Davis asked, Can we get the sixth (6th) district updates at the next <br /> meeting? <br /> Mr. Perri replied, Sure. <br /> Committee Chair McBride then opened the floor to comments from members of the public. <br /> Sue Kesim, 4022 Kennedy Drive, stated, I want to say that IDEA Week was awesome. I went to <br /> as much as I could so it was phenomenal. I really enjoyed that. I wanted to say that while I was at <br /> Oaken Bucket looking across the water, the flood took out like half of the tree roots. When you <br /> look across, the trees are hanging there. I just was wondering if you would be doing an analysis. <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY ( INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1 227 W.Jefferson Bvld I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.9221 If 574.235.9173 1 TTD574.235.5567 I www.southbendin.gov <br /> 4 <br />
