ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2-1993 - ADOPTING A WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AND
ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN ANNEXEI
AREA IN PENN TOWNSHIP (NW CORNER OF KILLINGTON WAY AND BROMLEY
CHASE, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 220 FEET EAST OF IRONWOOD ROAD)
Mr. Leszczynski advised that Mr. Larry Magliozzi, Assistant
Director, Division of Planning and Neighborhood Development,
Department of Economic Development, was present to address the
Board concerning Resolution No. 2-1993.
Mr. Magliozzi advised that the Resolution submitted to the Board
adopts a written fiscal plan and establishes a policy for the
provision of services to an annexed area in Penn Township located
at the northwest corner of Killington Way and Bromley Chase,
which is approximately two hundred twenty (220) feet east of
Ironwood Road.
Mr. Magliozzi further noted that this property received previous
consideration for annexation under Common Council Ordinance No.
8309-92. However, during the remonstrance period, it was
discovered that the legal description provided by the Petitioner
was in error. To correct the error, it was determined that the
entire process had to be repeated. Mr. Magliozzi noted that this
is a voluntary annexation. Mr. Magliozzi further noted that the
new ordinance was subsequently filed by the Petitioner. Except
for the slight modification to the legal description, all other
aspects of the fiscal plan remain the same. In conclusion, Mr.
Magliozzi asked that the Board give this Resolution its favorable
consideration and noted that, if approved, this annexation should
take effect around April 16, 1993.
It is noted that the City does not anticipate any additional
costs to provide services to the annexation area. City sanitary
sewer and water are already available to the property. An eight
inch (811) sewer and a ten inch (10") water line are in the
right-of-way of Bromley Chase abutting Lot 26. Extensions of, or
taps into said sewer and water lines, shall be governed by I.C.
36-9-22-2, I.C. 8-1.5-3 and 4 and the rules and regulations of
the South Bend Water Works and Sewer utility. Therefore, Mrs.
Mueller made a motion that the Resolution as submitted be
adopted. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried and the
following Resolution No. 2-1993 was adopted:

ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 5-1993 - TRANSFER OF REAL PROPERTY - 316
EAST SOUTH STREET
Mr. Thomas Eddington, Department of Economic Development,
informed members of the Board that Resolution No. 5-1993 involves
a parcel of property located adjacent to the property previously
discussed in Resolution No. 4-1993. He noted that this is a
parcel of property that the City owns and Southhold Restorations,
Inc. would like to acquire in order to place a larger house on
this vacant lot.
Representatives from Southhold advised members of the Board that
they would like to place on this vacant lot a large two (2)
family unit house that will fit into the neighborhood.
It is noted that Mr. Jerry Wiener, Treasurer, Southhold
Restorations, Inc., 322 West Washington, South Bend, Indiana,
submitted to the Board a letter which indicated that Southhold
Restorations is currently under contract with Memorial Hospital
to move two (2) buildings, with a potential for three (3) more
houses, in conjunction with Memorial's current expansion program.
The letter further indicated that Southhold intends to move and
renovate these buildings for resale. One building could possibly
be a future home for Southhold, who for over twenty-six (26)
years has been a not -for -profit historic preservation
organization. They would hope that the vacant City -owned
property could be obtained at no cost, in an effort to continue
their dedicated service to the South Bend community.
The first building of this project will be moved to the South
Street property prior to April 1993. It is anticipated that
renovation will be completed on or about September 30, 1993 with
a sale or occupation date of December 31, 1993.
Southhold's contract with Memorial Hospital indicates that
Memorial agrees to make all arrangements for the houses to be
moved to lots within the City selected by Southhold, subject to
approval by Memorial as to the distance from the present location
of the houses, including all necessary permits for the move of
the houses, insurance during the course of the move, the
construction of foundations upon which the houses will be located
and the placement of the houses on the foundations. The timing
of the move of the houses shall be decided by Memorial with
reasonsable notification to Southhold as to the date and time of
the move.
Further, after the move of the houses is complete, Memorial will
send Southhold a complete listing of all expenses incurred by
Memorial in preparing the houses for relocation. Southhold
agrees as to each of the houses that in the event a house is sold
or leased with a lease term longer than one (1) year or leased
with a lease containing an option to purchase, Southhold will pay
Memorial the entire amount they have expended in the preparation,
move, construction of the foundations and other expenses itemized
by Memorial for the move of the house. This payment shall be
made on the same date the sale or lease of the house is

shall be deemed to have occurred at the time title to the lot on
which the house is located is conveyed or a ground lease is
entered into as to such lot or the house itself is transferred or
conveyed to any party other than Southhold.

must be equipped with the following safety features:
(1) A system enabling the silent activation of a distress or
trouble signal by the driver by either of the two (2) methods set

(a) A system enabling the silent activation of distress or
trouble light or lights. The distress or trouble light or lights
shall be visible from at least the front and rear of the taxicab
and must not protrude beyond the sides of the taxicab. The
distress or trouble lights shall be either white or amber in
color or have a white or amber colored lens. The lights shall be
placed in either the dome light assembly or installed on the
front and rear ends of the taxicab. The lights shall flash
between 60 and 120 times per minute. The lights shall have a
minimum light output of 25 candlepower. The flasher for the
lights shall be silent when operating. The flasher for the
lights shall be triggered by a foot switch, which is easily
accessible to the driver without interfering with the operation
of the vehicle.
(b) A system enabling the silent activation of a warning to a
dispatcher or the police department either by radio or telephonic
communication. The radio or telephonic communication device must
be activated by a floor switch which is easily accessible to the
driver without interfering with the operation of the vehicle.
The communication device must instantaneously alert a dispatcher
or the police department that a vehicle is in "distress", and the
system shall provide for a means of communicating the location of
the taxicab. If the system uses a dispatcher the licensee must
submit certification that a dispatcher will be on duty 24 hours
per day. All such systems must be reviewed by the Police
Department for compliance prior to approval.
(2) A permanently installed drop safe The safe shall be
