I think you all have met <br /> everyone except for Sean. I wanted to make sure Sean was here, so you could put a face to the <br /> name. Sean has been with the City for some twenty (20) years. He started as an operator and has <br /> worked his way through the system. When Derek left us, he was the first(Pt) one(1)that came to <br /> mind as the guy we need to have running the streets and sewers. He is well respected there, smart <br /> and understands the operation. We are very blessed to have Sean on board. <br /> He continued, I'm going to just do two (2) quick updates and then I'll turn it over to them. We <br /> have a real long list of projects that Jitin and Kara are going to go through. We are going to go <br /> through them fairly fast. By all means, you can ask questions but if it gets into too much detail, it <br /> might be better to have a separate sit down either with the Council as a whole or individually. Just <br /> really quickly on the Long-Term Control Plan, we've continued our negotiations with the EPA, <br /> DOJ and IDEM. I would say it is going ok, but I wouldn't say it's going well as this point. There <br /> has been a lot of back and forth. There is a lot of information they've wanted to make sure we <br /> agree on some of the background information in terms of what project costs are,what our financial <br /> capability is and those types of things. Those are the biggest things under discussion right now. <br /> INTEGRITY' SERVICE'ACCESSIBILITY <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMAN BIANCA L.TIRADO JOSEPH R.MOLNAR <br /> CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 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 <br />
