Committee <br /> of the Whole Dear Council Members : <br /> The attached Bill would amend Article 4, Chapter 13 of <br /> the South Bend Municipal Code by the inclusion of new <br /> Stephen Luecke Section 13-57. 1, to be entitled "Use of Police Officers <br /> First District at Large Parties or Gatherings Requiring a Second Re- <br /> sponse" Its intent is to minimize the number of times <br /> Donald Niezgodski that officers must return the site of noisy parties or <br /> Second District gatherings, by providing for a $50.00 fine for additional <br /> William Soderberg calls to a disturbance after a warning has been given. <br /> Third District <br /> Repeated calls to the same disturbance are not only <br /> Ann Puzzello frustrating for the officers and neighbors, but also <br /> Fourth District a distraction from more important duties which have a <br /> greater community priority. So, officers on second <br /> Linas n skas response will be considered to be on "special security <br /> Fifth District assignment" and a fine will be levied. A similar ordi- <br /> Thomas Zakrzewski nance is in place in Fullerton, CA and seems to be ef- <br /> Sixth District fective in minimizing the number of returns calls . <br /> Sean Coleman This Bill has been drafted with the support and assis- <br /> At Large tance of the Police Dept. and the City Attorney' s Office. <br /> Loretta Duda I recommend that the Bill be sent to the appropriate <br /> At Large committee for review and recommendation, and hope for <br /> your favorable support. I look forward to discussing <br /> John Voorde it further with you. <br /> At Large <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Stephen J. Luecke <br /> Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand 1st District Council Member <br /> Council Attorney <br />
