Chairperson Oliver Davis asked if this means that they are closing the Pizzeria they operate near this location. Mr. Chappuies responded no and there are no plans at the moment to close. Brian McMorrow, Abonmarche Consultants, Inc. 750 Lincoln Way East, South Bend, IN 46601, served as the presenter for these bills. He stated the Cataldo's received a letter from the City sometime last year suggesting that there would be a sewer extension across their property. It prompted some further discussions about the endgame for this piece of property, they have no immediate plans to move out of their house but it does allow them to do what is right for them and the community. Michael Divita, Community Investment with offices on the 14th Floor of the County -City Building, presented the fiscal plan for the Cataldo Annexation. State laws require that with any annexation the City provides a fiscal plan for how the City will provide services to the area being annexed. By state law, any area that is being annexed requires any non - capital services be in place within one (1) year such as police and fire protection. Any capital services being provided according to the fiscal plan must be in place within three (3) years such as new road construction or utility type work. The annexation area for the Cataldos is approximately 12.88 acres and meets the state law continuity requirement. It contains a single family home on a wooded lot and is proposed for redevelopment for commercial uses. There are no capital improvements planned by the City for this annexation, sewer and water are available to the northeast along Prairie Ave. The extension of the project site will be done at the petitioner's expense. A portion of State Road 23 will be annexed but will continue to be maintained by the Department of Transportation. The area will be added to the Council's Sixth District, will be served by Police Beat twenty -five (25), Fire Station Five (5) and Code Enforcement area Six (6). No additional equipment or personnel will be acquired to serve the area. These and other non - capital services will be in place within one (1) year of the date of the annexation with response times comparable to other areas in the City. He asked for the Committees favorable motion on the fiscal plan as well as the annexation. No one from the public spoke in favor or in opposition to either bills.
