City of South Bend <br />Common Council <br />441 County -City Building . 227W. Jefferson Blvd <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 -1830 <br />Derek D. Dieter March 15, 2013 <br />President <br />Members of the Common Council <br />Oliver J. Davis 4n' Floor County -City Building <br />Vice - President South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />(574) 235 -9321 <br />Fax (574) 235 -9173 <br />http://www.southbendin.gov <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 <br />2008 <br />185 <br />Fifth District <br />2009 <br />118 <br />2010 <br />141 <br />Oliver J. Davis <br />2011 <br />25 <br />Sixth District <br />2012 <br />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 />
