,orrxei. <br />y<' <br />w- <br />Common Council <br />City of South Bend Indiana <br />Henry Davis, Jr., 2 ^d District Council Member <br />4« Floor County -City Building <br />227 West Jefferson Boulevard <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />(574) 235 -5983 (574) 235 -9173 Facsimile <br />April 2, 2015 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />4th Floor County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />(574)235 -5567 TTY/TDD <br />Re: Ordinance Calling for a Ban of All Hand -Held Electronic Communication Devices <br />While Driving <br />Dear Council Members: <br />In light of the enthusiastic response on the "Drive Now, Text L8R" Campaign by area high school <br />students at our last Common Council meeting, and the overriding public safety concerns on this <br />topic, I am introducing the attached ordinance for your review, discussion and passage. <br />I am also attaching information form the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Highway <br />Loss Data Institute which depicts as of this month the fourteen (14) states which ban hand -held <br />electronic communication devices. The power -point presentation on "Texting & Driving" prepared <br />by the high school students is already of record in the Office of the City Clerk. <br />In light of the Indiana General Assembly not taking action on these growing public safety issues, <br />I believe that we need to address these concerns, until a state -wide ban becomes the law in our <br />state. I am recommending an effective date of July 1st for these public safety regulations, so that <br />there is ample public notice to the public and time for the Administration to post proper signage. <br />I request that this Bill be sent to the Council's Health and Public Safety Committee and be <br />scheduled for public hearing at the April 27, 2015 Common Council meeting. Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Henry D Js, <br />2nd Distrir o ci <br />Attachments <br />Filed In - .:1:<; Office <br />' <br />1 1 ZU15 <br />r,�;_ <br />i Hirt <br />CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN j <br />
