Organizational Meeting Committee Chair Teshka stated, Last year we had six(6)meetings. This year I anticipate the main things the Utilities Committee will focus on are, obviously, CSO. We had a meeting last week to get an update on that and we will continue to get regular updates from Public Works to figure out where they are at in the process with the EPA and if there is anything that we can do to assist them in that process. We all know how big of an issue that is. The dollar amount we are looking at will have a big impact on our budget. The other thing and other big priority will be the storm water issue. Public Works has promised they will come back to us before June 1, the implementation date,to talk about these lifeline rates and the possibilities there in terms of what we can do. Those are the two (2) main things I envision. We may have to call a special meeting here or there but outside of that, I'll open it up to the Committee. . Committee Chair Teshka opened the floor to Committee and Council Members. Committeemember Sharon L. McBride stated, I did have a request from the Sunnymede neighbors for an update on CSO. I reached out to Administration and they were hoping that update could be delayed until the studies come out in March. So, after the data comes out, we would like to see an update. Committee Chair Teshka replied, Yeah, and I think a larger public setting would be good to have an overall update. Again, we had a smaller update to Council last week and, again, we will get INTEGRITYI SERVICEI ACCESSIBILITY JENNIFER M.COFFMAN BIANCA L.TIRADo JOSEPH R MOLNAR CIIIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 46601 I p 574.235.9221 I f 574.235.9173 I www.southbendin.gov
