A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, PUBLICLY
HONORING EMIL “LUCKY” REZNIK FOR APPROXIMATELY FIFTY (50) YEARS OF FAITHFUL
SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF TRANSPO & FOR HIS EXEMPLARY DEDICATION TO THE SOUTH BEND
Whereas, the South Bend Common Council acknowledges that since the South Bend Public Transportation
Corporation (TRANSPO) was established, Emil “Lucky” Reznik has diligently & faithfully served on the
TRANSPO’s Board of Directors, where he has provided keen insights & vision for approximately fifty years; and
Whereas, in October of 2010, TRANSPO opened the Emil “Lucky” Reznik Operations, Administration and
Maintenance Facility at 1401 South Lafayette Boulevard on the site of the former Studebaker manufacturing
plant. It is the first transit building in the country to receive a Platinum Certification by the Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) for using a geothermal heating system and solar panels; and
Whereas, the TRANSPO facility was one of the first buildings to be located in Ignition Park, which was part
of a former Brownfield site, which replaced the buildings on Northside Boulevard. With the TRANSPO board
and staff, and under Lucky’s leadership, TRANSPO is continuing to reduce fuel usage, improve operating
efficiencies, and implement positive service improvements reflecting the very best of innovative ideas; and
Whereas, in February of this year, TRANSPO received the 2015 Impact Award from South Shore Clean
Cities, for their initiative on compressed natural gas (CNG) facility aiming to be the first fast-fill public CNG
facility in the region – with this being just one of many awards and honors received over the years; and
Whereas, Emil “Lucky” Reznik is a very proud alumni of Indiana University. For his service with the
Indiana University Alumni Association, the IU South Bend Board of Advisors, and as past president of the IU
South Bend Board, in 1982 he was awarded the Distinguished Alumnus Award; was honored in 1998 to receive
the IUAA President’s Award; and in 2006 was awarded the Sue H. Talbot Distinguished Hoosiers for Higher
Education Member Award. Some of his many other awards and accomplishments include receiving the
Outstanding Hoosier Award from Governor Mitch Daniels, a Key to the City from Mayor Stephen H. Luecke,
and commendations from Mishawaka Mayor Jeff Rea, and Indiana State Representative B. Patrick Bauer.
Now, Therefore, be it resolved, by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows:
Section I. The South Bend Common Council proudly recognizes EMIL “LUCKY” REZNIK for his passion for excellence
in serving in many capacities in the South Bend community; and in particular, the Council is honored to publicly commend
this IU Hoosier for approximately fifty (50) dedicated years of service as a member of the TRANSPO Board of Directors.
Section II. The Common Council notes that because of Lucky’s vision and dedication to excellence, countless
number of individuals have enjoyed top quality bus transportation throughout our wonderful community. We
wish this very special IU Hoosier, his wife, and their great family all the best in the years ahead. Congratulations!
Section III. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by the Common Council
and approval by the Mayor.
