•CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> Ms. Skibins replied, I don't have the dates memorized, but we do have a commission meeting <br /> tomorrow night at 6:00 p.m. on the 13`h floor of the County-City Building. <br /> Ms.Johns stated, It is on our website too. If they want to go on there,they can look at the PDF and <br /> see the dates and locations. <br /> Councilmember Broden followed up, The actual document, correct? <br /> Ms. Skibins replied, Yes. And it's also shared through social media for SBARC as well. Mark <br /> Bode, the Communications Director for the Mayor, sent out a press release, as well. And then our <br /> legal,Tom Panowitz,will share upcoming information dates with Bob Palmer,who will then share <br /> it with Council, as well. So, we'll try to make sure that everybody has the information in advance, <br /> and we encourage anyone who has any say, like who wants to know more about the program or <br /> about the ordinance, to come to our meetings. <br /> Councilmember Broden stated, Great. And thank you for incorporating that into the process. I <br /> think that's really important,both from an educational standpoint for Council but of course for the <br /> community and you know, helping smooth the pathway at least for good dialogue on those <br /> changes. I appreciate that.And hopefully we will support it like at the Council level,Clerk's Office <br /> through very timely media posts so that people see the document that we're all going to be looking <br /> at prior to the meeting. And then helping to drive informed input, I really appreciate you doing <br /> that. I'm sorry I'm not going to be around for the end process but thank you. With regard to the <br /> MOU and the $54,000, is that pure administration costs of that MOU or is that your actual client <br /> relocation? <br /> Ms. Skibins replied, Right. That's correct yes. <br /> Councilmember Broden followed up, Okay. And did you say ten (10) condemned and only four <br /> (4) of those needed relocation? <br /> Ms. Skibins relied For sure it was ten 10 . I have to find the numbers for relocation, I want to <br /> replied, ( ) <br /> sayit was four(4) or five (5). <br /> ( ) <br /> Councilmember Broden replied, Okay. So, we're running about fifty percent (50%) needing <br /> assistance through St. Vincent de Paul because of inability or non-cooperation from the landlords, <br /> really? <br /> Ms. Skibins replied, I think it is mostly inability. <br /> Councilmember Broden followed up, Okay, that's good to know. And then when you did provide <br /> us with an update at Council previously, I think there was, I don't want to say a plea, but <br /> acknowledgement of that area of that program and that it needs to be funded. Either through public <br /> dollars or private generosity. So, I think I'd like to highlight that at this time. Especially if we're at <br /> those percentages then we're already seeing that. I guess I do have some concern about the <br /> demolitions and the decrease, and kind of the overall fifty percent (50%) decrease and that being <br /> reduced. I'm just going to share that. And I'm wondering with regard to the large structures, did <br /> MACOG actually put out a call for requests for those types of large structures that need <br /> demolition? And I thought it was related to the Volkswagen settlement? <br /> EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 227W.Jefferson Bvld South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9221 f 574.235.9173 TTD 574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov <br /> 12 <br />
