McBride <br /> Other Councilmembers Present: Rachel Tomas Morgan <br /> Others Present: Dawn Jones, Graham Sparks, Bob Palmer <br /> Lisa Horton <br /> Councilmember Karen L. White began by stating that the purpose of the Board of Finance <br /> Organizational meeting is to go through the Mission of the Committee, and that mission is to <br /> oversee the various activities and issues related to neighborhood development and enhance that. <br /> The mission statement is so broad, that it really doesn't say alot. We will begin to look at our <br /> mission statements as we move forward to make sure that they reflect the work that each committee <br /> will be doing. <br /> Councilmember Karen L. White spoke about the responsibility that each Councilmember has <br /> ensure that they maintain contact with their various constituents throughout the South Bend <br /> neighborhoods to work very closely not only with Community Investment, but also with the <br /> Neighborhood Associations. <br /> Councilmember Karen L. White stated that she would be walking through the annual report <br /> process, where each committee is responsible for submitting an annual report which reflects the <br /> actual activities of that particular committee. She used the Residential Neighborhood Committee <br /> as an example (along with a physical paper copy of the annual report that can be obtained in the <br /> City Clerk's Office) in order to use a timeline of January 1, 2019 until December 31, 2019 for all <br /> of the activities of that particular committee that would need to be included in an annual report. <br /> Councilmember Karen L. White spoke about the need to do more work within the neighborhoods <br /> of South Bend. <br /> Councilmember Karen White spoke about an initiative to stop the sell of synthetic drugs at local <br /> mini marts in the South Bend community, and the fact that a lot of the work towards this was done <br /> within the Residential Neighborhood Committee. She mentioned the fact that the State of Indiana <br /> has really tightened up legislation on the sales of synthetic drugs. <br /> INTEGRITY' SERVICE' ACCESSIBILITY <br /> BIANCA L.TIRAiO GRAHAM D.SPARKS GABRIEL N.MUREI <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 574.235.92211f 574.235.91731 www.southbendin.gov <br />
