<br />RESOLUTION NO.558 -77
<br />A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF
<br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, FORMALIZING THE
<br />INTENT OF THE COUNCIL WITH REGARDS TO
<br />THE ACQUISITION OF CLAY UTILITIES AS
<br />PROPOSED BY THE MAYOR OF SOUTH BEND.
<br />WHEREAS, The South Bend Common Council has judged that the acquisition of Clay Utilities
<br />would be beneficial to the City, but are left unconvinced due to the insufficiency of evidence,
<br />that it should be purchased at any price;
<br />WHEREAS, the Council by a 7 -2 vote on March 14, 1977, and an 8 -1 vote on April 13, 1977,
<br />clearly showed that the Mayor should continue to negotiate down the purchase price by excluding
<br />contribution in aid of construction and lowering the rate of interest to a figure similar
<br />to interest rates on municipal bonds; and
<br />WHEREAS, a more reasonable and justifiable price should be sought especially in light of the
<br />inconclusive data showing that the acquisition will have any significant impact on pending
<br />annexations.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana:
<br />SECTION'I. That the Common Council formally proposes that the Mayor and all Administrative
<br />officers continue in their efforts to acquire the waterworks and sewage disposal facilities of
<br />Clay Utilities, Inc., at a price which excludes contributions in aid of construction and include
<br />a lower interest rate. Should negotiations fail to attain significant reductions in the overall
<br />cost of Clay Utilities, Inc., steps should be taken by the City to acquire Clay Utilities throug
<br />the condemnation procedure.
<br />SECTION II. That the common Council.recommends that the formal steps be taken by the
<br />Administration to introduce a bill which would appropriate up to five percent (50) of the total
<br />estimated cost of acquiring the facilities. Such a procedure is necessary and required by
<br />Indiana law to pay the expenses of a preliminary investigation, a proper survey, engineering
<br />plans and cost of acquisition.
<br />SECTION III. That the Common Council rededicate its efforts in supporting the Administratic
<br />in acquiring Clay Utilities, Inc., at a fair and equitable price which is founded on both sound
<br />economic and humanistic principles.
<br />SECTION IV. That this resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its
<br />adoption by the Common Council and approval by the Mayor.

<br />Member of the Common Council
