G <br />ORDINANCE NO. (0$33 -?9 <br />AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20, ARTICLE 3, <br />ABANDONED VEHICLES OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF <br />THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT <br />The Common Council of the City of South Bend recognizes that <br />several problems have arisen regarding the interpretation of our <br />present abandoned vehicle ordinance. The Council believes that <br />these problems can only be eliminated by enacting a strong and <br />enforceable law which specifies the entire procedure relating to <br />abandoned vehicles. <br />The Council believes that the procedure outlined by the <br />State Legislature which authorizes removal after a seventy -two <br />(72) hour notice procedure would be much more effective than <br />the seven (7) day notice period, presently in effect. <br />Therefore, in the interest of eliminating the scenic <br />blight which results from abandoned vehicles, and in the interest <br />of furthering the public safety and welfare, the following bill <br />is introduced: <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of <br />the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows: <br />SECTION I. Chapter 20, Article 3 of the Municipal Code of <br />the City of South Bend, Indiana, is hereby amended in its entirety <br />to read as follows: <br />ARTICLE 3. ABANDONED VEHICLES. <br />SEC. 20 -27 Legislative Findings; Nuisance Declared; Public <br />Agency Designated; Revolving Fund Established. <br />(a) The South Bend Common Council hereby finds that a quick <br />and efficient method of disposing of abandoned or junk vehicles <br />which remain on public or private property without permission is <br />necessary. <br />(b) Such abandoned or junk vehicles are detrimental to the <br />health and safety of the general public and are hereby declared to <br />be a public nuisance and a health and safety hazard. <br />(c) The Board of Public Works is hereby designated the pub - <br />lic agency responsible for the removal, storage, and disposal of <br />abandoned and junk vehicles. Said Board may enter into contracts <br />with private towing firms, scrap processors, or auto wreckers to <br />provide the equipment and facilities for removal and disposal. <br />(d) There is hereby created a "Junk Vehicle Fund" into which <br />all proceeds from the sale of abandoned vehicles or parts and all <br />handling expenses recovered shall be placed. The Common Council <br />shall annually appropriate sufficient tax moneys to said fund, and <br />any monies remaining in the fund at the end of the year shall not <br />revert to the general fund. <br />
