Adopted: November 2, 1981 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS s/ John E. Leszczynski s/ Richard L. Hill s/ Joseph E. Kernan ATTEST: s/ Barbara J. Byers, Clerk Upon a motion made by Mr. Kernan, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the above Resolution No. 22, 1981, was adopted. PUBLIC HEARING - IMPROVEMENT RESOLUTION NO. 3516, 1981 (WABASH STREET SANITARY SEWER PROJECT) The public hearing on the construction of sanitary sewers on Wabash Street from Ewing Avenue to Calvert Street, authorized under Improvement Resolution No. 3516, 1981, adopted by the Board on October 19, 1981, was held at this time. The Clerk tendered proofs of publication of notice in the South Bend Tribune and the Tri-County News which were found to be sufficient. Mr. Leszczynski noted that the preliminary assessment roll listed a total cost of the improvement at $54,959.65, with the amount to be assessed to the city, should the project be approved, of $27,479.68. He stated that, unless more than 50% of the affected property owners objected to the construction of the sewer, the Board would proceed` to obtain bids for its construction. Miss Helen Zurawski, owner of Lots 215 and 216, along with her brothers, Andrew and John, expressed support of the sewer project. Mr. Gerald Dhaeze, owner of Lots 204 and 205, reminded Miss Zurawski that the cost of the improvement as listed on the assessment roll did not include hooka - up to the sewer and that additional expense would be incurred by the property owners. He presented a petition signed by all but one of the home owners between Ewing and Calvert who were opposed to the sewer construction. He later indicated that those signatures were obtained from anyone living in the households who was over 18 years of age. Mr. Matthew Krizman, stated that he was the owner of one of the many vacant lots in the project area,'and he did not want to pay for the sewer just for his vacant propperty. Mr. Albert Tengelitsch, owner of Lots 183 through 191, stated. that he was proposing to build on his lots and he had been unable to get a building permit until he attempted to have sanitary sewers put in. He stated that he had heard that Barrett Law may expire within the year, and then property owners would have to pay the full cost of such improvements. Mr. Hill and Mr. Leszczynski stated that they were not aware that the Barrett Law procedure would be expiring. Mr. Tengelitsch stated that he was in support of the sewer construction in order that he could begin construction on his lots. Mrs. Leonard Skwarcan, 2221 South Olive Street, 1 ill REGULAR MEETING 1 NOVEMBER 2, 1981 stated that she and her husband had purchased Lot 192 within the last two years. She advised that the lot was very narrow and nothing could be constructed upon it for this reason. She objected to the installation of the sewer. Mr. Dhaeze explained to the Board that he had sold five of the lots his parents had previously owned to Mr. Tengelitsch. At that time, Mr. Tengelitsch had-been.informed by the Engineering Department that as long as he was "x" number of feet away from the sewer., he could still obtain his building permit. Mr. Dhaeze stated that now. Mr. Tengelitsch was told he had to file a petition under Barrett Law for construction of the sewer in .order to obtain the permit. Mr. Gene Wilkeson stated that his minor sons were owners of Lots 173, 174, 177 and 178. He.stated that he was representing them as their guardian in opposing the sewer construction. He advised that it was impossible to build on only one lot because most of the lots.were very small. He asked about the number of sewer taps required. Mr. Leszczynski stated.that normally each property would get one tap unless otherwise requested by the property owner. Mr. Krizman agreed with Mr. Wilkeson and Mrs. Skwarcan in that the Tots are only 42 feet wide and any future building on the lots would be impossible. He did not feel it made sense to put in the sewers because of that. Mr. Hill explained to the property owners objecting to the sewer that the city had not initiated the proceeding for the construction.. of the sewer. He stated that, according.to law, a petition for Barrett Law improvement must be signed by a property owner and filed with the Board, after which time the Board must hold a public hearing for the purpose of hearing any objections to the proposed improvement. He stressed that the Board needed to get the owners' comments and views on the sewer construction because, if 51% of the property owners objected to same, the sewer would not be constructed. He stated that the city would not force the sewer upon the property owners unless mandated by the Health Department. Mr. Dhaeze stated that Mr. Tengelitsch had been forced into submitting a petition for the sewers in order to allow him to build on his properties, but he had been told otherwise when he purchased the properties.Mr. Tengelitsch stated that his son had recently had problems with an over- saturated septic system not in this particular area, and he was aware that the same problems could be happening to the residents on Wabash Street because the properties were many years old and the water table was high. He also cautioned the residents that, if the sewer construction did not go through, they would be faced with increased construction costs in the.future should it be determined then the sewer should be constructed. Mr. Krizman agreed that the land was low and mucky, and for those reasons, no one would want to build on the properties. Mr. Dhaeze stated that the muck did not start until 200 feet west of Meade Street. He explained that there were only seven homes on the street and most of those residents had lived in their homes for 20 years or more, and were against the construction. In answer to a question posed by Mr. Kernan, Dorothy Arpasi, owner of Lots 201 and 202, explained that Mr. Myers' signature appeared on the petition against the sewer construction as a tenant of the building. She stated that she and her husband were owners of the lots and objected to the sewer. Mr. Kernan stated that only affected property owners.could sign for or against the sewer. He advised that the.Board would do whatever 51% of the property owners wished. Mr. John Hatala, owner of Lot 203, stated that he had lived on Wabash Street for 25 years and had never had a problem with his septic system. He stated that he objected to'the sewer construction. Mr. Hill suggested that the Board advisement for one week in order remonstrance. He stated that if, of Works take the matter under to review the petition and the in fact, a majority of the 112 REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 1981 property owners opposed the sewer, the sewer would not be constructed. He stressed that the Board had no intention of proceeding if a majority of the property owners objected. He explained that 13 signatures appeared on the -remonstrance petition, excluding that of Mr. Myers (Mrs. Arpasi's tenant), and 24 property owners were affected. He stated that he would like to take some time to go over the remonstrance and make a determination as to the per- centage of those property owners objecting to the sewer. He hoped that by mid -week, a determination would be known, and the Board would be able to consider the matter again at its meeting on November 9, 1981. Mr. John Voorde, Councilman at Large, asked how the property owners should proceed on the matter. He wondered if they should try and obtain more signatures for and against the sewer. Mr. Hill stated that anyone who has,not previously voiced his or her position on the sewer should do so. He felt the determination may be very close since it appeared just about half of the owners objected to the construction. He asked that the property owners convey their comments to the Board prior to November 9, 1981. Upon a motion made by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and carried, action on the matter was continued to the November 9, 1981, regular meeting of the Board, in order to allow a computa- tion of those owners in favor of the sewer and those opposed to its construction. APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 (FINAL) AND PROJECT COMPLETION AFFIDAVIT - WASHINGTON STREET LIGHTING PROJECT (ARROW ELECTRIC) Mr. Leszczynski advised that Arrow Electric had submitted for Board approval Change Order No. 2 (Final) for an increase in its contract on the Washington Street Lighting Project in the amount of $148.00 for re -installation of a pole which had been damaged as a result of a traffic accident. The Project Completion Affidavit was also submitted showing a final cost of the project of $28,803.46.

Mr. Leszczynski advised that, including the above change order, the cost of the Schindler/Haughton contract to date was.$51,570.00. He stated that the above Change Order had been reviewed and found to be in order by the Construction Manager, Architect and Patrick McMahon. Mr. Leslie Doty, 3502 Lincolnway West, questioned why the city was involved in approving change orders on the project. Mr. Hill stated that the project was being funded with Urban Development Action Grant funds, and Mr. Leszczynski stated that 11 113 REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 2. 1981 the city was constructing the public portion of the facility. Upon a motion made by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and carried, the above Change Order was approved.

APPROVE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS FOR SALE OF PORTION OF BROWNFIELD PARK TO LOCK JOINT TUBE COMPANY Mr. Leszczynski advised that Lock Joint Tube Company, in a letter dated October 28, 1981, had accepted the city's counter- offer for the sale of the portion of Brownfield Park located at the northwest corner of Angela and Riverside Drive. He stated that, at the Board meeting of October 5, 1981, the bid of Lock Joint Tube Company in the amount of $11,430.00 for purchase of the property had been rejected because the bid was not equal to the offering price of $18,250.00. At that time, after due consideration, the Board had made the following counter-offer to Lock Joint Tube: That the property be offered for sale at the previously established offering price of $18,250.00; however, a condition of the sale shall provide that, should a subsequent rezoning of the property to light industrial not be approved (thus prohibiting Lock Joint Tube from utilizing the property as intended) the sale would not take place. The stipulation that no structures be constructed without the prior written approval would also remain a condition of the sale. Mr. John Voorde, Councilman at Large, asked if the city would now initiate the rezoning procedure for the property on behalf of Lock Joint Tube. Mr. Hill advised that Lock Joint Tube would initiate the petition since the purchase agreement will be entered into which would enable the company, as potential purchasers, to proceed. Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, acceptance of the city's counter-offer by Lock Joint Tube was filed and the Purchase Agreement approved for sale of the property, subject to the above conditions. APPROVE REQUEST TO ADVERTISE TO RECEIVE BIDS AND SIGN TITLE SHEET (SOUTHERNVIEW DRIVE CULVERT) Mr. Ray S. Andrysiak, P.E., requested permission from the Board to advertise to receive bids for the construction of the Southernview Drive culvert, including the removal of concrete. pipe and construction of the culvert and wood guard rails. Mr. Leszczynski advised that the replacement of the culvert was 1 0 115 REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 1981 necessitated because of severe damage caused to it by recent heavy rains. He stated that funds have been appropriated for this purpose. Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the request to advertise for bids was approved and the title sheet signed. APPROVE REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS - SALE OF ABANDONED VEHICLES Mr. Leszczynski stated that, in accordance with the Cou.ncil's newly adopted ordinance dealing with abandoned vehicles, the disposal of said vehicles would be handled by the Board of Works rather than the Board of Safety as had previously been done. He submitted a request from Katherine Barnard, Director of the Neighborhood Code Enforcement Office, for the sale of 17 abandoned vehicles, 13 of which were valued at over $100.. He advised that all the vehicles have been stored at Steve and Gene's Impoundment Lot, 3109 South Gertrude Street, for more than the required 30 days, identification checks have been run for auto theft, and the owners and lien holders have been notified. Upon a motion made by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Kernan and carried, the request to advertise for bids was approved, with sealed bids to be received on November 16, 1981. PUBLIC HEARINGS SET FOR STREET AND ALLEY VACATIONS ON NOVEMBER 9, 1981 Q Mr. Leszczynski explained that as of September 1, 1981, the date on which the Home Town Rule became effective, the Common Council would have jurisdiction on all street and alley vacations. Accordingly, the Council adopted an ordinance setting forth procedures to handle the vacations which consisted of the Board of Works submitting a recommendation to the Council concerning each vacation. Mr. Leszczynski suggested that, in order for the Board to provide the Council with a thorough recommendation, public hearings be scheduled before the Board so that considera- tion could be given to all the affects of the proposed vacations on abutting properties. He stated that, in addition, comments would be forthcoming to the Board from the Engineering Department, Area Plan Commission and Community Development Department concerning the vacations. Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, public hearings were scheduled for Monday, November 9, 1981, at 9:30 a.m., for the vacation of a portion of Sunnymede Avenue,, -and George Avenue and surrounding alleys in the Monroe -Sample Development Area. The Clerk was instructed to mail certified notices to abutting property owners. Mr. Stephen Drendall, a petitioner for the vacation of a portion of Sunnymede Avenue, stated that he had been advised that the Engineering Department would be making a preliminary unfavorable recommendation to the Board concerning that vacation. He asked that members of the Engineering Department make an inspection of the property to see the existing use of same rather than considering a recommendation simply by referring to the plat maps. He felt that the petition, in light of what has happened to the surrounding property, should be considered favorably. Mr. Leszczynski stated that, regardless of the current physical condition of the property, the vacation ofonly a portion of Sunnymede Avenue would create a dead-end of a public street and could possibly adversely affect future property owners. Mr. Drendall stated that it appeared some lots would be.land- locked, but, in reality,they would not be. Mr. Leszczynski explained that that was the purpose of the Board scheduling a public hearing on the matter. He stated that the Board wanted to thoroughly review the petition and receive comments from affected property owners before submitting its recommendation to the Common Council. REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 1981 APPROVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CONTRACTS AND ADDENDUM Mrs. Patricia Harris of the Community Development Department staff explained that the contracts submitted for Board approval with the Bureau of Housing were repeat programs. She further explained that the addendum to the ACTION contract was necessary for the Head Start Day Care activity because not all funds for the previous year had been expended and the day care facility desired to use those funds, along with funds which would be collected by charging students $1.50 per day, to run the entire program for this year. Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. :dill and carried, Addendum 1 to the ACTION contract and the .following Bureau of Housing contracts were approved: Housing Rehabilitation Grant Program CD81-101 - Program designed to make available to eligible low and moderate income persons housing rehabilitation grants Budget: $250,000.00 Non -Profit Group Rehabilitation Program CD81-103 - To provide for the rehabilitation of housing units purchased with non Community Development funds or partially -purchased Community Development funds Budget: $70,000.00 Housing and Neighborhood Rehabilitation Program CD81-102/702 - To be used as percentage rebates to eligible homeowners and landlords within strategy areas Budget: $100,000.00 FILING OF CERTIFICATES OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY Mr. Leszczynski stated that the following Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity had been submitted to the Board for action: Grady L.
