Mr. Talley stated that Ms. Lackman had sent a letter to Roland Kelly, David Varner, East Wayne Street Liaison Committee and Mr. Talley.

Mr..Oxian suggested that Ms. DeRose look at the letter. Mr. Oxian spoke of the response from the editorial of the South Bend Tribune which was included in the monthly package and urged all to read the response. Mr. Oxian also mentioned that he had wrote a letter to the council stating that he was not at the original Lackman meeting and did not want to be used as a scapegoat. Mr. Duvall provided each member with a Proposed Amendment to the Powers and Duties section of the Ordinance which he felt was simply a matter of cleaning up some out-of-date language in the Ordinance with no effect on Powers and Duties, per se.
