APPROVE MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING
Upon a motion made by Mr. Caldwell, seconded by Mrs. Manier and
carried, the minutes of the regular meeting of the Board held on
March 14, 1994, were approved as submitted.
DRYBROUGH, TRANEX CAR SALES, INC., D/B/A VAL CAR RENTAL SALES
Mr. Leszczynski reminded members of the Board that at their last
meeting, it was determined that the Public Hearing concerning the
transient merchant license application as submitted by Ms. Sharon
Drybrough, Tranex Car Sales, Inc., would be tabled until this date
as Ms. Drybrough was not in attendance at that meeting.
Ms. Sharon Drybrough, 632 Springmill Lane, Indianapolis, Indiana,
representing Tranex Car Sales, Inc., d/b/a Val Car Rental Sales,
5075 West 38th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, was present and
informed the Board that Tranex Car Sales intends to sell used
vehicles in South Bend on Wednesday, April 13, 1994 through
Friday, April 15, 1994 from 9:OO a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on
Saturday, April 16, 1994, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the K-
Mart parking lot, 4640 South Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana.
Mr. Leszczynski inquired of Ms. Drybrough if this is the first
time the company has done this type of sale in South Bend. Ms.
Drybrough advised that this is not the first time. A used car
sale was conducted last Fall. Ms. Drybrough stated that she was
not aware of any sales conducted in this area prior to that time.
Mr. Caldwell asked Ms. Drybrough what people can do if they have a
problem and Tranex Car Sales, Inc., is gone and whether or not
this type of situation has arisen in the past. Ms. Drybrough
advised that she has not had anyone call her after a sale but a
problem would be handled based on the individual problem.
Board members inquired if Ms. Drybrough would be the person to
call if a customer had a problem. Ms. Drybrough indicated that
her name is listed on the application form as the contact person
who will be available for at least sixty (60) days following the
last date of business who will respond to consumer complaints.
Mr. Craig Kapson, 1401 Olivia Circle, South Bend, Indiana,
representing Jordan Ford, 609 East Jefferson Boulevard, Mishawaka,
Indiana, was present and stated that he is against this
application.
Mr. Kapson informed the Board that he has a dealership in
Mishawaka, Indiana and his objections are being raised not only as
a merchant but as a concerned citizen. He stated that this
company has no investment in this community and that full
disclosure is not available to the customer. He asked that a full
disclosure be made to the customer that this is an out of town
company. Also, where they can seek advise and assistance so they
are protected.
Mr. Kapson stated that this company was previously Budget Car
Sales. He noted that they are mailing out one thousand dollar

REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 21, 1994
($1,000.00) coupons for their sale presently going on in Goshen,
Indiana. He stated that they raise the price of the car up this
amount and then offer a coupon.
Mr. Kapson reiterated that the interest of the public, under the
existing laws of the City, must be looked at and protected in the
matter of out of town vendors and it is up to the Board of Public
Works to protect the customer. Mr. Kapson noted that there are a
lot of dealers in this town. To protect the image of the new and
used dealerships in this town this protection is necessary. In
conclusion, Mr. Kapson, stated that they welcome competition.
Mr. Theo Williams, 51843 Trowbridge, South Bend, Indiana,
President, Shamrock Lincoln Mercury -Saab, Inc., 120 West McKinley
Highway, Mishawaka, Indiana, informed members of the Board that he
echoes Mr. Kapson's statements and that he is opposed to this type
of sale. He stated that this company has no investment in this
area and no sense of responsibility. Once they leave and go back
to Indianapolis, the consumers needs are not being met. He noted
that they have worked hard in this area to assist customers in the
care of their vehicle. In conclusion, Mr. Williams stated that
they do not mind competition but he is in great opposition to this
license application.
Mr. Kapson stated that this company will also have to bring the
titles to the vehicles with them.
In response to these concerns, Ms. Drybrough stated that she takes
issue with some of the points raised by Mr. Kapson. She stated
that they have never raised the price of the vehicle to offer a
coupon and for the record stated that they have never had this
practice. She noted that the promotional flyer was sent to
customers in conjunction with local financial institutions. She
stated they are honest with customers and everything is done
according to the rule. Ms. Drybrough also noted that Budget Car
Sales merged with Val Car and they are now the same company.
There being no one else present wishing to address the Board
concerning this matter at this time, Mr. Leszczynski closed the
Public Hearing on this matter.
It is noted that the Board is in receipt of favorable
recommendations concerning this license application from the
Police Department, Fire Department and the Building Department.
It is further noted that for the record Board Attorney Mrs. Anne
Bruneel has received a letter from Mr. Gary L. Levine, President,
Val Car - Rental Car Sales, 5075 West 38th Street, Indianapolis,
Indiana and 1525 North Shadeland Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana.
Mr. Levine stated that there appeared to be some concerns about
the relationship of ValCar Rental Car Sales to a company called
"Budget Auto Sales" against which a large judgement was recently
entered in a court in Terre Haute, Indiana. Mr. Levine enclosed
with his letter a copy of an article that appeared in the Terre
Haute newspaper about that case. He noted that they wish to
advise the City that Va1Car Rental Car Sales is not the same
company as "Budget Auto Sales" which was the defendant in that
action.
Mr. Levine further noted that Va1Car Rental Car Sales is an
assumed business name used by Tranex Car Sales, Inc. Tranex Car
Sales was incorporated in 1990, several years after the events
that gave rise to that litigation. In 1991, Tranex Car Sales
obtained a license from Budget Rent A Car Corporation to sell used
cars under the name "Budget Car Sales" in Indianapolis. From that
time until very recently, Tranex Car Sales sold used cars under
the "Budget" name at a facility on the west side of Indianapolis,
136
REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 21, 1994
as well as at off -site sales conducted throughout the state under
licenses granted by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. For various
business reasons, including concerns about whether Tranex Car
Sales' license from Budget Rent A Car Corporation could be
expanded to permit the use of the "Budget Car Sales" name at a
second facility that Tranex Car Sales wanted to open in
Indianapolis, Tranex Car Sales has adopted the use of the assumed
business name "Va1Car Rental Car Sales." Although Tranex Car
Sales still is licensed by Budget Rent A Car Corporation to use
the "Budget Car Sales" name, its two (2) facilities in
Indianapolis, as well as its off -site sales, are now operating
under the name "Va1Car Rental Car Sales."
Ms. Drybrough stated that she wanted to clarify that the sale
going on at the present time is in Fort Wayne and the sale to be
held in Goshen will begin this Wednesday. She noted that Va1Car
Rental offers a value alternative to the purchase of a new
vehicle. Ms. Drybrough welcomed all Board members to come to
their sales. She noted that they offer a quality vehicle and the
public has the right to make a choice.
Mrs. Manier made a motion that this license application be
approved. Mr. Caldwell, stated that based on the requirements of
the licensing ordinance, he would second the motion. Motion
carried.

JDL Corporation - Shipshewana On The Road, 291 North 20th Street,
Battle Creek, Michigan, was present with his wife Julie and

to three (3) days for their shows and have a lot of fun. It is
noted that the Lepper's have applied for this license in order to
conduct "Shipshewana Comes To South Bend" on Saturday, April 9,
1994 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Sunday, April 10, 1994,
from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Century Center.
Mr. Caldwell asked if this show was connected with the town of
Shipshewana and was advised by Mr. Lepper that it is not.
However, the vendors from the outside market as well as some of
store owners are involved in this event.
In response to Mr. Leszczynski's question of how long they have
been conducting this type of business, Mr. Lepper stated that they
have been doing this now for one and one-half (1 1/2) years.
There being no one else present wishing to address the Board
concerning this matter and no written Memorandum in support of or
in opposition to the issuance of the license being received, Mr.
Leszczynski closed the Public Hearing on this matter.
It is noted that the Board is in receipt of favorable
recommendations concerning this license application from the
Police Department, Fire Department and the Building Department.
Mrs. Lepper stated that she would like to tell the Board that she
appreciates the policy the City of South Bend has in place in
regards to Transient Merchants.
