Karen White has a funeral to attend and unfortunately will <br /> not be able to attend. These meetings started as an effort to get out in the community and see these <br /> areas for ourselves. She then introduced members of the Committee, Council and Clerk's Office <br /> and gave the floor to Committeemember Regina Williams-Preston. <br /> Second (2nd) District Bus Tour <br /> Committeemember Regina Williams-Preston stated, Welcome, everyone. This is exciting. Today, <br /> overall, is the celebration of neighbors engaging with City Government. You may have received a <br /> packet as it will serve as our guide for the tour today. If you are with someone, please share. She <br /> then handed out copies of the aforementioned document which is available in the City Clerk's <br /> Office. She continued, We will be touring the entire district so this will kind of be a drive by tour. <br /> As we move into different neighborhoods, I've asked neighbors speak to what they are doing in <br /> their neighborhood. One (1) thing I have been wanting to do as a Council Member is to kind of <br /> reengage with the neighborhoods and bring residents of district two (2) into the downtown. We <br /> should really be proud of what has gone on downtown. In the handout, in the very beginning of <br /> the agenda, I wanted to share some things. For me,the past few years I have really been focusing <br /> on working intentionally and being strategic. That kind of action is what really brings about <br /> progress. We are also trying to connect neighbors with City resources so they can get done what <br /> they need to get done. I want to do a little shout out to the Far North West Neighbors. They aren't <br /> in my district but that is kind of where I came into this area of politics. I was organizing at a <br /> neighborhood association level. <br /> The tour consisted of the bus traveling through the Second(2nd)District on a planned route. Below <br /> are comments made and discussed during the tour,broken down by direction. <br /> INTEGRITY1 SERVICES ACCESSIBILITY <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMAN BLANCA L.TIRADo JOSEPH R MOLNAR <br /> CHIEF DEPUTY/DmwrOR OF OPERATIONS DEPuTY/DIREcrOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1 227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.92211 f 574.235.9173 1 www.southbendin.gov <br />
