REGULAR MEETING MAY 8, 2000 <br />Mr. Larry Magliozzi, Assistant Director, Planning & Neighborhood Development, Community & <br />Economic Development, 205 West Jefferson Boulevard, Suite 416, South Bend, Indiana, made the <br />presentation for this bill. <br />Mr. Magliozzi advised the Council that this ordinance is the first of a series of bills that address <br />sewer and water needs to City residents who have not yet tapped into these City services. This <br />particular bill addresses property located on the south side of town which was annexed in the early <br />1970's and was originally developed when it was located in the county. Mr. Magliozzi noted that <br />some of these systems are facing failure and the alternative at this time is to get these residents <br />hooked up to City sewer and water. The bill submitted sets up criteria. An estimated reimbursement <br />cost from homeowners has been set at three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) for sewer and two thousand <br />dollars ($2,000.00) for water. It will be the responsibility of the homeowner to pay a contractor to <br />run the line from their house to the main line. There will be no interest computed on the monies <br />owed the City which can be paid over five (5) years. Mr. Magliozzi noted that eight (8) houses and <br />one (1) vacant lot are affected. <br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and <br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. <br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Council either in favor of or in opposition to this <br />bill, Councilmember Coleman made a motion for favorable recommendation to full Council <br />concerning this bill. Councilmember White seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of <br />nine (9) ayes. <br />In response to a question from Councilmember Varner, Mr. Magliozzi advised that the residents of <br />the affected area are enthusiastic about this project and they feel that the City has done a fair and <br />equitable job. Payments can be made without interest over a period of five (5) years. The residents <br />are appreciative of the efforts of the City and they are happy with the decision. <br />In response to a question from Councilmember Ujdak, Mr. Magliozzi stated that the contract for the <br />sewer work has been awarded and is in the amount of approximately eighty -six thousand dollars <br />($86,000.00). The employees of the Water Works will perform the water part of the project at an <br />estimated cost of forty-five thousand dollars ($45,000.00). <br />RISE AND REPORT <br />Councilmember Coleman made motion to rise and report to the full Council. Councilmember <br />Varner seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br />A EST: <br />oretta da, dty Clerk , <br />Committee of the <br />REGULAR MEETING RECONVENED <br />Be it remembered that the Common Council of the City of South Bend reconvened in the Council <br />Chambers on the fourth floor of the County -City Building at 7:10 p.m. Council President Charlotte <br />Pfeifer presided with nine (9) members present. <br />ORDINANCE NO. 9108 -00 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA TO EXTEND AND <br />PROVIDE UTILITY SERVICES TO AN AREA WITHIN <br />THE MUNICIPAL CITY LIMITS KNOWN AS LOTS 11 <br />THROUGH 23 OF HARTMAN TERRACE SUBDIVISION, <br />LOCATED ON REASOR STREET, CENTRE TOWNSHIP, <br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA <br />
