CITY of SOUTH BEND <br />PETER J. NEMETH, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />219/284-9251 <br />Patrick M. McMahon, P.E. <br />Director, Public Works <br />March 29, 1978 <br />South Bend Common Council <br />441 County /City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: Fencing for the Municipal Services Facility <br />Dear Councilmen: <br />The attached request for $20,000 of General Revenue Sharing Funds has <br />been requested for the purpose of installing perimeter fencing for the <br />yard and building areas surrounding the Municipal Services Facility. <br />This request is being made as a constructive step toward reducing <br />access to the city -owned property, thereby reducing the probability of <br />theft of gasoline and materials from the premises, vandalism to city <br />property, and at the same time providing an adequate and secure park- <br />ing area for the privately -owned vehicles so as to reduce, if not <br />eliminate, vandalism to said vehicles. <br />It should also be noted that a fence previously was in existence at <br />the east end of these properties, adjacent to the Newman- Altman property. <br />Said fence was removed during the demolition of the Studebaker Power <br />House and has not been replaced to this date. That firm has requested <br />that the City replace this segment of fence as soon as possible, in that <br />they have reported several incidents of theft which they feel have re- <br />sulted from the availability of ingress and egress to the property at <br />this time. <br />
