Organizational Meeting Committee Chair White handed out copies of the 2018 Annual Report of the Residential Neighborhoods Committee (copies of which are available in the City Clerk's Office). She stated, We are one(1) of eleven (11) standing Committees of the Council. We had eight(8)meetings last year. Quality of life issues were, and continue to be, a major area of our concern. We've had at least three(3)neighborhood bus tours.They were very successful.A lot of information was gained, and we were able to connect with our residents on a more personal level. TRANSPO provided transportation and we will continue looking to have those neighborhood tours in other districts we can connect with. Light Up South Bend continues to be a very promising program and you will be receiving, very shortly, an update from the Administration about that program and how we will continue moving that forward. We discussed having Committee meetings in the neighborhood and we will look more towards that as well. We did receive, from Community Investment, the consultant gave a report in regard to the residential market potential. We need to continue that discussion to see where we are at and what the next steps are by interfacing with the Department of Community Investment as well as with our neighbors. We do have two (2) individuals that submitted citizen member applications and I will be looking at those individuals. Hopefully at the next meeting we will have citizen members that are a part of this Committee. Committee Chair White then opened the floor to Committee and Council Members.
