REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 27, 1971
<br />REGULAR MEETING - RECONVENED (Cont.)
<br />ORDINANCES, THIRD READING - (Cont.)
<br />ORDINANCE NO. 5373 -71 - (Cont.)
<br />This being the time set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and opponents were
<br />given an opportunity to be heard thereon. City Engineer Lloyd Taylor stated that the bulldozer
<br />was purchased in 1966 at a cost of $30,000, plus a trade -in and was used at the present City
<br />sanitary landfill site which will be closed January 1, 1972, and the bulldozer will no longer be
<br />needed. Mr. William Richardson the new city engineer suggested an exchange of the bulldozer for
<br />free dumping privileges at the County landfill. Being Caterpillar equipment, that company esti-
<br />mated the bulldozer at $20,000; and an exchange of the bulldozer for free dumping to that amount
<br />was agreed upon between the City and the County. Mr. Taylor stated that the coming budgetfor '72
<br />allowed $25,000 for dumping at the County site for the year. Miss Guthrie suggested that the
<br />subsequent budget might then be cut by $5,000 for this service and Councilman Janet Allen com-
<br />mented that a better bargain would have been to exchange the bulldozer for a year's free dumping.
<br />At the conclusion of the public hearing, the ordinance was given third reading. Councilman Wise
<br />moved for passage of the ordinance, seconded by Councilman Grounds. The ordinance passed by a
<br />roll call vote of 8 ayes (Councilmen Laven, Allen, Reinke, Craven, Grounds, Szymkowiak, Wise and
<br />Zielinski), 0 nays, 1 absent (Councilman Palmer).
<br />ORDINANCE NO. 5374 -71
<br />AN ORDINANCE CREATING A CIVIC CENTER DEVELOPMENT FUND, ACCEPTING
<br />DONATIONS FOR DEPOSIT IN SAID FUND, AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT
<br />REGARDING THE USE OF SAME.
<br />This ordinance was given first and second reading. Council President Laven entertained a motion
<br />for suspension of the rules to allow a public hearing and the third reading of the proposed
<br />ordinance at this meeting. A motion for suspension of the rules was made by Councilman Janet
<br />Allen, seconded by Councilman Reinke. The motion passed by a roll call vote of 8 ayes (Council-
<br />men Laven, Allen, Reinke, Craven, Grounds, Szymkowiak, Wise and Zielinski), 0 nays, 1 absent
<br />(Councilman Palmer). This being the time set for public hearing on the above ordinance pro-
<br />ponents and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard thereon. Mr. Crumpacker stated that
<br />earlier in the year the Council had passed a bond ordinance for land purchase for P_ Civic Center
<br />in South Bend. The first improvement to be constructed in the Civic Center is an Art Center and
<br />the National Bank and Trust Company acting as trustee for the Muessel- Ellison Memorial Trust
<br />Foundation contributed $100,000 for this purpose. Accepting a gift and establishing such a
<br />special account requires an ordinance enacted by the Common Council of the City. Miss Guthrie
<br />asked if this donation was protected against uses for other purposes and Mr. Crumpacker said
<br />that it was. Councilman Craven felt that the ordinance, as written, indicated that this was the
<br />only fund which would be established and thought it might require clarification. In a brief
<br />discussion between the Council members it was agreed that clarification was not needed. Council-
<br />man Reinke commented that future donations and contributionsshould be sufficient for not only
<br />constructions but also for operating expenses of future structures. He suggested that the in-
<br />coming Council take note of this matter. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the ordinance
<br />was given third reading. Councilman Janet Allen moved for passage of the ordinance, seconded
<br />by Councilman Grounds. The ordinance passed by a roll call vote of 8 ayes (Councilmen Allen,
<br />Laven, Reinke, Craven, Grounds, Szymkowiak, Wise and Zielinski), 0 nays, 1 absent (Councilman
<br />Palmer).
