White <br />At Large <br />Re: Chronic Problem Property Regulations <br />Dear Council Members: <br />On June 10, 2013, the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 10232- <br />13 which created chronic problem property regulations in the City of South Bend. <br />Those regulations have been in effect since October 15, 2013, and have made a <br />significant impact on reducing excessive calls for service to many properties <br />located throughout the City. <br />Those regulations have helped to reduce some of the undue burden on the City's <br />public safety officers who respond to the majority of these nuisance type calls. <br />We have been working closely with Officer Keenan Lane of the South Bend Police <br />Department who is the primary point - person for the implementation of these <br />regulations. He has shared the need for the amendments which are proposed in the <br />attached ordinance. Basically the amendments would place responsibility on <br />businesses for their actions or inactions which are located within commercial, <br />industrial or PUD zoned areas, in an effort to minimize excessive service calls to <br />those establishments. <br />We have also worked with the Law Department on these proposed amendments, <br />and recommend that the proposed ordinance be referred to the Health and Public <br />Safety Committee for review and recommendation, and that a public hearing on <br />these proposed amendments be set for Monday, November 10`h. Thank you. <br />ost sine r� <br />.,_, <br />Tim Scott,, I" District <br />Com�/�KunC� ember <br />Derek D. Dieter, At Large <br />Common Council Member <br />_Z e5 ✓ <br />aren L.
