Broden called to order the Organizational Meeting for the Health and Public Safety Committee at 4:11 p.m. She introduced members of the Committee and proceeded with the meeting. Organizational Meeting Committee Chair Broden stated, So, in terms of 2018, most of our work was relative to petitions that were received by the Council on Health and Public Safety matters. There wasn't really too much in depth in my report, and I apologize. With regard to those, I believe all of those passed with our unanimous approval on each and every one. But in terms of going forward, a couple of items that we are already aware of as the rental safety verification programs (RSVP) which many members have been engaged in. Then, the South Bend Animal Care and Control Ordinance re- write is occurring at the Commission level. That has been divided out by chapter, so, one (1) of the things is to make sure right away that everyone is aware of the different chapters and what has been rolled out this far. I think to get some finalized timing on that would be great so that we know when we should be ready for that for our consideration as Council. That is pretty significant, and I think that has spanned the entirety of my term.And then,of course,there have been some changes in personnel as well. So, it's been a long flight I guess. She continued,A couple other things, I think is always Public Safety,first(1St)and foremost.There were a lot of changes tracked for the 911 Program and the funding relative to that. There will be some renegotiations on that amount, so, getting more people up to speed on 911 within the Committee and tracking that would be great. I know that I've been closely involved, and Councilmember Scott has been involved. And of course, all of us during the budget process. But, I do think that ongoing oversight and implementation is hitting marks. I think it will be important INTEGRITY!
