0CITY OF SOUTH BEND! OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br />Councilmember Karen White stated, I think that was a really good meeting. I think it will address <br />some of the housing issues we have in regard to building new houses. I think it will help streamline <br />that process for our citizens to give us more flexibility as we move forward. <br />Councilmember Scott interjected, No disrespect but the less we see of Mike Divita, the better. <br />Committeemember Jo M. Broden asked, Are both of these amendments Council -initiated? <br />Committee Chair Dr. Davis replied, My understanding was that you and Councilmember Voorde <br />were going to work with the Administration on it. <br />Committeemember Broden followed up, I thought that was relative to sponsorship. But isn't there <br />a technical process for text amendments that the Council has to sign off on, as a whole? <br />Mr. Divita replied, They were Council -initiated and, I can double check on this but, I don't think <br />it has to be a super formal thing. <br />Committee Chair Dr. Davis asked, Is the Council making the presentation at Area Plan? <br />Mr. Divita replied, Probably a member of DCI staff will. <br />Committeemember Broden stated, I think we just need to check with procedures. I want to do what <br />is required by law and there might be a way for you to initiate it or Area Plan, but I believe if it is <br />Council -initiated, there has to be some formalized measure. We've been down this route before. <br />Mr. Divita replied, A letter with a signature on it should be fine. <br />Committeemember Broden replied, I don't want to be a stickler but there is a formal process and <br />I think we should stick to it. If it's going to come from the Council, it should be something we all <br />see and are aware of. I've done text amendments before, and there is a process. Check it off, let's <br />get it done. <br />Chair Dr. Davis adjourned the Zoning and Annexation <br />EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION 1 INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br />455 County -City Building' 227W.
