Dieter <br /> President Members of the Common Council <br /> Oliver J. Davis 4th Floor County-City Building <br /> Vice-President South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br /> Karen L. White Re: Proposed Ordinance Addressing Accountability of Government Actions on <br /> Chairperson, Committee Buildings Declared Vacant or Abandoned <br /> of the Whole <br /> Tim Scott Dear Council Members: <br /> First District <br /> I am pleased to introduce for your consideration, the attached ordinance which is <br /> Henry Davis, Jr. aimed to bring greater accountability of tax dollars proposed to be used on vacant & <br /> Second District abandoned properties, as well as the overall process involving properties proposed to <br /> be demolished by the City of South Bend. <br /> Valerie Schey <br /> Third District In a front-page article which appeared in the Sunday, March 10, 2013 South Bend <br /> Fred Ferlic Tribune entitled "50 (Almost) Down, 950 To Go", a picture of a wrecking ball <br /> Fourth District depicted the number of"Demolitions between 2008-2012": <br /> David Varner 2008 185 <br /> Fifth District 2009 118 <br /> 2010 141 <br /> Oliver J. Davis 2011 25 <br /> Sixth District 2012 120 <br /> Derek D. Dieter The above-listed demolition numbers from 2008 through 2011 were part of former <br /> At Large Mayor Luecke's May 29, 2007 announcement that "...a three-year $6.825 million <br /> Gavin Ferlic strategy to reduce the City's vacant houses by more than one-fifth, with the <br /> At Large primary focus aimed at reducing abandoned houses by 72%"would be moving <br /> forward. <br /> Karen L. White <br /> At Large I am attaching a map provided to the Common Council by the former City <br /> Administration in late 2007. It depicts vacant & abandoned structures as of 2006 in <br /> the City of South Bend, and "Calls for Service" showing five (5) levels of service <br /> ranging from"absence or insignificant level, approaching negligible level,just below <br /> concern level, reaching concern level, serious level to urgent level". That map alone <br /> highlights the critical need for a well thought out and comprehensive plan to address <br /> the multi-faceted neighborhood issues which may be compounded by vacant & <br /> abandoned buildings. <br />
