CITY Of SOUTH BEND <br />ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING • SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />DIVISION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />Colleen Rosenfeld <br />Director <br />September 4, 1984 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />City of South Bend <br />4th Floor, County -City Bldg. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear Council Member: <br />IIIII 3: <br />0 rn <br />• Z <br />y <br />1200 County -City Building <br />South Bend. Indiana 46601 <br />(219)284 -9335 <br />The bill submitted for your consideration would appropriate $17,000.00 for the <br />Secure Building and Demolition Program. This activity is conducted through <br />the Department of Code Enforcement and involves the securing of vacant <br />buildings and demolition of unsafe buildings in the City's inner areas. <br />The condition of structures is a concern expressed frequently by neighborhood <br />residents. This program provides funds for securing buildings so that <br />additional damage to the property or to people will be minimized. <br />Additionally, when all alternatives have been exhausted, demolition of unsafe <br />structures may occur. Current funds for this activity have been depleted <br />while at least a dozen structures need to be addressed within the next two <br />months. <br />The funds are being taken from 1984 Unspecified Local Option (ULO). I have <br />not denoted on the ordinance a reduction of ULO funds as I have in the past <br />for Economic Development projects due to the fact that no specific funds were <br />appropriated to ULO for this activity as was the case for Economic Development <br />projects. <br />Should you have any questions regarding the activity, please don't hesitate to <br />contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Colleen Rosenfeld <br />Director <br />CR/bsj <br />Attach. <br />
