<br />COMMUNICATION
<br />Honorable Edward F. Voorde, Mayor
<br />Members of the Common Council
<br />City of South Bend, Indiana
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />July 27, 1959
<br />The South Bend Civic Planning Association along with officials, citizens and other organizations, has recognized the
<br />need for additional as well as modern office facilities for the operation of city government.
<br />When the City - County Building Authority was proposed as a means of meeting the need, we, as you know, recommended
<br />a committee of responsible citizens be appointed "to undertake the fact - finding, priority setting, and taxation
<br />scheduling which are required" for any improvement.
<br />In order to further implement the accomplishment of the proper planning that is necessary we suggest that you not only
<br />take action to appoint this fact - finding committee but that there be included in the 1960 budget an appropriation of
<br />$40,000. to cover the cost of an architect who would undertake the premilinary plans. In this way the actions of the
<br />fact - finding committee may be backed up by specific forward progress during 1960 in alleviating the space problem of
<br />our city government.
<br />Respectfully,
<br />SOUTH BEND CIVIC PLANNING ASSN. INC.
<br />/s/ Karl F. Jahnke,
<br />Karl D. Jahnke, President
<br />Councilman Erler made a motion that the communication be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Erhardt seconded th
<br />motion.. Motion carried.
<br />DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS
<br />REPORT OF PARK DEPARTMENT
<br />The Common Council
<br />City Hall
<br />South Bend, Indiana
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />July 24, 1959
<br />This will acknowledge a notice from the City Clerk with reference to investigating an encroachment and injury to the
<br />banks of the St. Joseph River by occupants of property located on the north side of Lincolnway East immediately east
<br />of Twyckenham Drive.
<br />This is to advise that the Department of Public Parks, in so far as we know, has no jurisdiction over private proper
<br />located along the St. Joseph River. A study of the municipal code of South Bend, Chapter 24, which deals with St.
<br />Joseph River matters, fails to disclose any jurisdiction by the Park Department. However, there does appear to be a
<br />violation of the ordinance of 1916 numbered 255.
<br />It is my opinion that this matter should be referred to your City Attorney and the Police Department for enforcement.
<br />Very truly yours,
<br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PARKS
<br />/s /Ralph A. Newman
<br />RAN :ka Ralph A. Newman, Superintendent
<br />CC: Mr. Edwin S. Ehlers, President Boar& of Park Commissioners
<br />Councilman Kroll made a motion that the communication bs referred to the City Attorney for attention and that a copy
