Bill No. <br />Ordinance No. <br />AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, <br />INDIANA, AMENDING SECTION 6 -37.1 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE <br />ADDRESSING VACANT BUILDING MAINTENANCE AND REGISTRATION <br />STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT <br />On November 26, 2007, the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 9810 -07. <br />That ordinance created city -wide regulations addressing the registration and maintenance of vacant <br />and abandoned buildings. In 2007, the City of South Bend initiated a three -year program costing <br />$6.825 million to reduce the City's vacant houses by more than 115 and to reduce abandoned <br />housed by 72 %. <br />On February 27, 2013, the "Vacant & Abandoned Properties Task Force Report" was <br />released with Mayor Buttigieg called for 1,000 houses to be addressed in 1,000 days. A <br />combination of rehabilitation and demolition activities has been ongoing. As of the introduction <br />of this ordinance which would raise the annual registration fee, 606 properties have been <br />addressed. <br />The ongoing costs to the city for these programs are continuing to increase. Therefore the <br />following fee adjustments are proposed, which are believed to be in the best interests of the City <br />of South Bend, Indiana. <br />"li; �`7 /iirrr•rr, �r.y/ ��rr /�inir //r / /r• �} �j: �� <br />CI >rrnuindr (Jrarri /r� / /r• C9 % /�r /•,��ru / /�sJrnr /, <br />< %nr /incur, ra,�: / /•md: <br />Section I.
