South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting –February 6, 2008 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />B. South Bend Central Development Area <br /> <br />(2) continued… <br /> <br />Mr. Peczkowski said that, as an owner of a <br />business in that block where this event has <br />taken place, and especially in reference to <br />last year’s event, he is very happy to vote in <br />favor of more public intoxication on the <br />street in front of his store, more vomit on his <br />sidewalks that he must clean up because <br />DTSB is not there to do the job, more broken <br />bottles in the parking lot behind his building <br />and in the LaSalle Grill’s lot thanks to street <br />gangs that come around and pick up the <br />empty bottles. Plus, the feasibility and the <br />good foresightedness of having a tent in <br />South Bend in the middle of March when the <br />weather is always balmy. Last year’s <br />weather was just wonderful. Mr. Peczkowski <br />said the postal delivery workers who came to <br />his store the week after the event were <br />regaling with stories of broken bottles they <br />had to make their way around and excrement <br />and things left on the sidewalk thanks to this <br />wonderful event. He thinks people who are <br />looking to get intoxicated in South Bend are <br />really well served by this event. He thinks <br />this event needs to be revisited and handled <br />by the professionalspeople who sell liquor <br />C <br />for a living. There are enough bars and pubs <br />downtown to handle this. <br /> <br />Mr. Leone noted that the version of the <br />Authorization for Entry Upon and the <br />Temporary Use of Public Property document <br />the Commission is asked to approve is <br />slightly different than the one distributed in <br />the Commission packet. The changes were <br />clerical. The substance of the document is <br /> 6 <br /> <br />
