ANDERSON, JR. In a letter to Mr. John Harris Anderson, Jr., 821 Diamond Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, Mr. Michael L. Vance, Director, Administration and Finance, advised Mr. Anderson that he has reviewed his application for a Taxicab Driver's License and as a result of a Police Department background check, it appears that he was not truthfull in completing the application. Mr. Vance therefore denied the license application. As a result of the denial, Mr. Anderson requested a Public Hearing before the Board concerning this matter and was present at the meeting. Mr. Leszczynski advised Mr. Anderson that his license application was denied due to his failure to answer all questions accurately regarding his prior arrest record. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought there were two (2) items that he could have listed, but did not indicate them as one occurred over seven (7) years ago one when he was sixteen or seventeen years of age. He stated that he was under the impression that these matters were no longer on his record due to the length of time and the statute of limitations. He stated that it was not his intention to hide any prior arrest record. Mr. Leszczynski stated that the Police Department background check indicated more than (2) prior arrests and it appears that the last arrest was in 1975. However, there was an arrest in 1977 for back support. All other arrests were prior to 1975. Mr. Leszczynski further advised that the background check revealed that Mr. Anderson does not currently have a valid driver's license. In response, Mr. Anderson stated that on August 16, 1985, he obtained an Indiana driver's license. Additionally, he has worked for South Bend Cab Company in the past and has a perfect record with that firm. He advised that the cab company is anxious to have him back and he is eager to be employed by them. He stated that he wants to be employed as opposed to welfare assistance. Ms. Barnard reiterated to Mr. Anderson that the reason his license application was denied was because the application as submitted contained discrepancies in information from the Police Department background check. Ms. Barnard made a motion that Mr. Anderson be granted a Taxicab Driver's License subject to his completing a new application indicating the correct and complete information as discussed today and revealed in the Police background check as well as inclusion of the information that he holds a current Indiana Driver's license. Mr. Leszczynski, seconded the motion and it carried. Mr. Vance abstained from voting on this matter. The matter was referred to the Deputy Controller's office for issuance of a license. 1 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 3, 1985 APPROVE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS - - 125 EAST DAYTON STREET 318 NORTH CUSHING STREET - 308 FULTON COURT SALE OF CITY -OWNED PROPERTY AT: - 535 EAST DAYTON STREET Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Ms. Barnard and carried, Purchase Agreements for the following City -owned lots were approved and executed and the matter referred to the City Attorney's office for the drafting of the appropriate Quit -Claim Deeds: 125 EAST DAYTON STREET: Bid Awarded On: August 12, 1985 Buyer: Mr. & Mrs. Aldred Bolden Address: 129 East Dayton Street Purchase Price: $50.00 318 NORTH CUSHING STREET Bid Awarded On: August 5, 1985 Buyer: Mr. & Mrs. Solon Orfanos Address: 308 North Cushing Purchase Price: $140.00 308 FULTON COURT Bid Awarded On: August 5, 1985 Buyer: Ms. Doris Milewski Address: 1009 West LaSalle Purchase Price: $60.00 535 EAST DAYTON STREET Bid Awarded On: August 12, 1875 Buyer: Mr. Ben Leal, Jr. Address: 601 East Dayton Street Purchase Price: $35.00 AWARD BID - CAR WASHES FOR CITY VEHICLES FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR BEGINNING AUGUST 1, 1985 AND ENDING JULY 31, 1986 In a letter to the Board, Police Chief Charles T.
