Steve Krupnik, 1072 <br />Lincoln Way East, owner of Red's Pawn Shop, indicated he was in favor of this bill, <br />however, the pawn shop owners should have had some input.

Council Member Zakrzewski made <br />a motion to accept the substitute bill on file with the City Clerk, seconded by <br />Council Member Barcome. The motion carried. Council Member Braboy indicated she <br />was introducing this bill for the Council's consideration. She indicated this bill <br />would establish a procedure to address equal opportunity for minorities and women <br />with regard to employment and bidding for City contracts. She indicated the Mayor's <br />Minority Affairs Council has been very instrumental in the development of this bill, <br />and will provide additional data for the Council to review. She indicated there was <br />an important need for our city to insure equality of opportunity both in City <br />employment and contracting actions. Eugenia Schwartz, City Attorney, asked that the <br />Council accept the filing with the recommendation of tonight's proceedings the data <br />that has been filed with the Common Council for that purpose entitled Data Presented <br />to the South Bend Common Council in Support of Bill No. 103 -87.
