PUBLIC HEARING - IMPROVEMENT RESOLUTION NO. 3450-CREST MANOR SEWERS
This being the date set, hearing was held on Improvement Resolution
No. 3450 for the construction of local sanitary sewers on Berkshire,
Abshire and Raleigh Drives in Crest Manor. 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. McMahon
noted that this is the public hearing on the improvement and all
affected property owners were notified of the hearing. He.stated
that this hearing was initiated by the Board of Public Works and
not by property owners. This is the last section of Crest Manor
where sewer construction has not been offered to the property owners
at the current policy whereby the City pays 50% of the cost of
construction and the property owners pay 50%. This has been the
policy followed by the City for the past several years but. there is
no guarantee that this funding can be continued. It was determined
that the Board would prepare preliminary plans and a preliminary
assessment roll showing the amount to be assessed against each
property and the project would be offered to the property owners.
The purpose of this public hearing is to answer any questions and
to allow the property owners to make their views known. If 51% of
the property owners are not in favor of the project, the Board will
not proceed. Mrs. Victor Jagmin, 5644 Raleigh Drive, told the
Board that when this area was annexed to the City, Lloyd Taylor
told the residents that the taxes collected from the area would be
put aside to use for the area. She said only one family needs the
sewer and they have a swimming pool. She pointed out that area
REGULAR MEETING
OCTOBER 17, 1977
property owners pay a high property tax and should not have to pay
for the luxury of one resident. She then asked if Councilman
Taylor was present. Mr. McMahon said he was not. She asked the
Board what happened to the tax money collected in the Crest Manor
area and why the owners should have to pay for the sewer construction.
She said their taxes should pay for that. She said this area does
not receive other City services, such as snow removal and leaf
pick-up. Mr. McMahon stated that other City services were not a
consideration at this hearing and any complaints should be called to
the attention of the proper Department. This hearing concerns only
the proposal to construct sanitary sewers. Mr. Capps, 5624 Raleigh
Drive, told the Board that he had a septic system installed at his
own expense and he felt it was a burden to the property owners to
be hooked up to this system. He said there is only one person who
wants this sewer. He said he did not think this was the right thing
for the City to do. Mrs. Jagmin asked how the Board determined the
footage to be assessed and noted that her assessment was one of the
largest on the list. Mr, McMahon pointed out that State law determines
how the assessment is to be made for such improvements and it is based
on square footage of the property. He noted that, if the project is
approved, the Board will advertise for bids and award a contract.
If the finalconstruction cost is less than the estimate, each
assessment will be lowered accordingly. If the final figure is higher
than the estimate, the City will have to absorb ithe additional cost.
A property owner's assessment cannot be higher than the figure listed
on the prelimary assessment roll on file with the Board. Mr. Finley,
5633 Abshire Drive, asked if the assessment must be paid in cash
immediately. David A. Wells, Manager of the Bureau of Design and
Administration, responded that the property owner will be notified
by the County Treasurer's Office of the total amount of the assessment
and can then pay the amount due in full or, by signing a waiver, can
elect to pay the amount in five yearly installments, billed with the
property tax statements at a six per cent interest rate. Mr. Fogarty,
1219 Berkshire Drive, asked if.the property owners will be billed for
sewage charges if the sewers are constructed . Mr. McMahon said if
the sewers are constructed, the residents will be billed the minimum
sewage charge per month. Victor Jagmin, 5644 Raleigh Drive, said that
area residents did not want to be annexed and went to many meetings
with City officials to state their views. The City annexed the area
over the protests of the property owners. He said the City should
have approached the people about sewers before they put in their own
systems. He said he paid $1500 to put in a dry well because a family
has put in a swimming pool and his property is below theirs. Mr.
McMahon then called for any further comments from property owners
present. He said he could call the names of the property owners
listed on the Assessment Roll and ask the owners to vote for or against
the sewer project. The following response was noted:
Mengel, 5616 Raleigh Drive
Not Present
Capps, 5624 Raleigh Drive

The Clerk was directed to contact those property owners not present
to ask them to make their views regarding the sewer construction
known to the Board, in writing, by Monday, October 24, 1977 at which
time the Board will determine the wishes of the majority of the
property owners involved. Mr. McMahon made a motion to table action
on the Improvement Resolution until Monday, October 24, 1977 at the
regular meeting of the Board. Mr. Brunner seconded the motion and
it carried.

REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 17, 1977
TAXI DRIVER'S PERMIT OF RALPH ALVAREZ SUSPENDED FOR T140 WEEKS
The public hearing on consideration of the revocation of the taxi
driver's permit of Ralph A. Alvarez was held on October 3, 1977
and was continued to allow the Legal Department to request the
current status of Mr. Alvarez' Indiana driver's license. Mr. Alvarez
was requested to attend this meeting and he was present. Mr.
Brunner advised the Board that James Masters of the Legal Department
Staff would make a presentation regarding Mr. Alvarez' driving record
and then a recommendation would be made with respect to disposition of
this matter. Mr. Masters summarized this matter for the Board. He
stated that the Municipal Code, Section 15.54 provides that the Board
may revoke or suspend a taxi driver's permit for any driver who fails
to comply with all provisions of the Cade and any suspension may be
up to a period of thirty days. This section of the Code also provides
for the public hearing. Mr. Alvarez was notified by certified mail, return
receipt requested, on September 19, 1977 that the Board would conduct
a hearing on consideration of the revocation of his taxi driver's
permit on Monday, September 26, 1977 at 9:30 a.m. Mr. Alvarez was
present on September 26. That hearing was continued until October 3.
Mr. Alvarez was present on October 3 and the hearing was held. The
Board received certification from the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles,
dated July 14, 1977, indicating that Mr. Alvarez' license was suspended.
The Legal Department requested an updated report from the Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles and the matter was tabled until today. Mr. Alvarez
was notified by certified mail, return receipt requested, that the
matter would be heard today. Mr. Alvarez was present. Mr. Masters
advised the Board that a Certification from the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles, dated October 4, 1977, indicated that the status of the
license was "Clear". He pointed out that a letter from Captain Edward
Friend, Internal Affairs Officer of the South Bend Police Department,
filed with the Board of Public Safety,indicated that Mr. Alvarez was
issued two traffic citations on June 23, 1977. One was for driving with
defective equipment, having no left headlight, and one was for driving
with an expired driver's license. A subsequent check indicated that
Mr. Alvarez' license was, in fact, suspended from May 27 through July 14,
1977. The certification of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
indicates that prior to September 29, 1977, Mr. Alvarez' license was
suspended. Mr. Masters said, in summary, it appears that Mr. Alvarez
was driving a taxi cab with a suspended operator's permit and this
constitutes a violation of the Municipal Code, Section 15-55. Mr. Brunner
then told Mr. Alvarez that the allegation is that on June 23 he was
driving a motor vehicle without a valid driver's license. Mr. Alvarez
said he was issued two tickets by the Police Department during the time
they were trying to get a raise and, since that time, the Police Department
and the Board have been harassing him. He said if the Board thinks
the recommendation is correct, they should do what they feel is justified.
Mr. Brunner said the record before the Board is from the State Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles and he did not think Mr. Alvarez felt that Bureau was
harassing him. Mr. Brunner said he would move that Mr. Alvarez'taxi
driver's permit be suspended for two weeks, beginning today. Mr. McMahon
seconded the motion and it carried, with Mr. McMahon and Mr. Mullen
voting "Aye" and Mr. Brunner abstaining. Mr. Alvarez asked the reason
for Mr. Brunner's abstention and Mr. Brunner responded that he would take
no part in the vote tally on the matter. Mr. Brunner asked Mr. Alvarez
which cab company employed him and Mr. Alvarez said he drove for the
Indiana Cab Company. Mr. Mullen said it was his opinion that insurance
coverage is terminated when a license is suspended and said Mr. Alvarez
should check the current status of his insurance liability coverage.
Mr. Alvarez said he wanted the record to show that the Board has suspended
his taxi license for two weeks because the date this incident occurred
his driver's license was suspended.

REGULAR MEETING
OCTOBER 17, 1977
POLICY FOR FUTURE CONSTRUCTION.=OF LIFT STATIONS APPROVED
ORDER FOR PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR MIAMI ROAD SEWER PROJECT APPROVED
Mr. Robert Burke, 6211 Miami Road, was present and requested that the
Board review the possibility of construction of a sanitary sewer
on Miami Road. He noted that his septic system is thirty years old
and is rusting out. Repairs would run from $1200 to $1500. Mr. Burke
said he has been advised that the Board is presently reviewing
the matter of funding for the lift station that would be required
and he asked the Board to make a decision on that matter as it
relates to any proposed sewer construction on Miami Road. Mr. McMahon
said the Board has under study the recommendation of the Bureau of
Design and Administration that the City pay 100% of the cost of a lift
station when it is required. Mr. McMahon asked David A. Wells, Manager
of the Bureau of Design and Administration, the estimated cost for such
a lift station in the Miami Road area. Mr. Wells estimated the cost
at $15,000. Mr. Mullen asked Mr. Wells if this lift station could
service more than one person, Mr. Wells said the lift station could
serve all the residents in that particular area and could also include
the Gilmer Park area. Mr. McMahon said he would suggest that the City
pay 100% of the cost for the required lift station, identifying it as
being analogous to a trunk sewer installation. Upon motion made by
Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Mullen and carried the Board agreed to
provide 100% of the funding for the proposed lift station and directed
the Division of Engineering to prepare the preliminary plans, cost
estimate and preliminary assessment roll for the construction of
sanitary sewers on Miami Road.
REQUEST TO OPEN CAMDEN STREET AT WESTERN AVENUE UNDER ADVISEMENT
Rev. Rawleigh Ragland, Pastor of the New Salem Baptist Church, 141
S. Camden Street, was present as were several members of his congregation.
Rev. Ragland submitted to the Board petitions signed by residents
of Camden Street and members of the church requesting that Camden Street
be opened at Western Avenue. He said it is inconvenient for members
of the church to have to go around the block to get to the church.
He said the church should have the same consideration as a business
place and most of the business places are on streets which were not
closed at Western Avenue. Mr. McMahon noted that the streets in this
area were closed as part of the R-57 Redevelopment Project, LaSalle
Park. He asked Ray S. Andrysiak, Bureau of Engineering, to respond
to the request. Mr. Andrysiak said the R57 project was started in
1971 and it was agreed by the City, HUD Officials and the Redevelopment
Department that the area would be redesigned as if it were a new
subdivision. In such subdivisions, like Kensington Farms, cul-de-sacs
are constructed so that all streets do not empty onto a major thorough-
fare like Western Avenue. He noted that there is only one entrance
to all the streets in the Kensington Farms Subdivision. It was felt
that this was in the best interests of the residents, and particularly
the number of children in the area. These cul-de-sacs are also in the
area where the City is presently constructing some off-street parking
facilities. Rev. Ragland said he felt it was necessary to make this
request and pointed out that the streets south of Western Avenue are
all open. Mr. McMahon noted that the R57 project is all north of
Western Avenue. He asked Rev. Ragland if the church was in its present
location at the time the street was closed. Rev. Ragland said it was
but the pulpit was empty at that time. Mr. Mullen asked Rev. Ragland
if the request was being made to provide parking or because the
street closing caused an inconvenience. Rev. Ragland said for both
reasons. Mr. Brunner asked the general character of Camden Street
and Rev. Ragland said it is residential. He said the church is located
at the corner of Jefferson and Camden. Mr. Brunner asked if the
residents of Camden Street want the street opened and Rev. Ragland said
they do and some of them have signed the petition he submitted. Mr.
McMahon recommended that the matter be taken under advisement for
review. A resident pointed out that the church has a $180,000 investment
in their building and that opening the street would help in making
funeral arrangements and in the flow of traffic. Rev. Ragland was asked

if children play in the area where the street is closed. He said
that LaSalle Park is available for the children so they do not
need to play in the street. Mr, McMahon made a motion that the
request be referred to the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting, the
Police Department, Fire Department and Redevelopment Department
for review and a written recommendation to the Board for consideration
at the meeting on October 31, 1977. Mr. Mullen seconded the motion
and it carried.
ACCEPTANCE OF 1948 STUDEBAKER FROM MISS CLARA HUSTON

Miss Clara Huston, 1207 Prospect Drive, Mishawaka, Indiana. Miss
Huston presented to the Board the title to a 1948 Studebaker which
she is donating to Discovery Hall for their collection. Mr. Welch
noted that he was very happy to acquire this car as the collection
does not have a post-war, Loewy -designed car. Mr. McMahon read
an official proclamation from Mayor Peter J. Nemeth expressing
appreciation to Miss Huston for her gift. Upon motion made by
Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Mullen and carried, the Board accepted
the title to the 1948 Studebaker with appreciation.
