C <br />IW <br />Common Council <br />City of South Bend Indiana <br />Henry Davis, Jr., 2nd District Council Member <br />411 Floor County -City Building <br />227 West Jefferson Boulevard <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />(574) 235 -5983 (574) 235 -9173 Facsimile <br />(574)235 -5567 TTY/TDD <br />April 7, 2015 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />4'h Floor County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Re: Ordinance Calling for the Establishment of a South Bend Municipal ID Card Program <br />Dear Council Members: <br />I am very pleased to file the attached ordinance which calls for the establishment of a South Bend <br />Municipal ID Card Program. I am also pleased to note that Council Member Oliver J. Davis, Karen <br />L. White, Gavin Ferlic and Derek D. Dieter voiced enthusiastic support of developing a city ID <br />card program, at the last Common Council meeting. Council Member Valerie Schey has also <br />expressed interest in developing such a program. This ordinance would begin to formalize a public <br />process in moving forward in developing such a program, which is envisioned to be a two -step <br />process. The proposed ordinance would be the 1 st step, and a future resolution of the Council <br />being the 2nd step, before such a program would be in effect. <br />As we briefly discussed at the last Common Council meeting held on March 23rd, I have been <br />working on this topic since last December. At that meeting, many members of the public held up <br />signs asking for a City ID card program. Some individuals voiced their support of a local City ID <br />card program that evening when the special resolution declaring Farmworker Awareness Week <br />was being discussed by the Council, including the Mayor. <br />There are potentially many positive results which could happen from having a well - constructed <br />city or municipal ID program, such as: <br />• Using the ID card for identification purposes when dealing with medical responders from <br />the South Bend Fire Department <br />Using the ID card for identification purposes when a person is a victim of a crime when <br />dealing with public safety officers from the South Bend Police Department <br />Using the ID card for identification purposes when dealing with emergency personnel <br />during a natural or man -made emergency <br />
