COMPLAINT - VENDORS ON RIVER BEND PLAZA Several merchants were present to complain about the location of vendors on River Bend Plaza. Mr. Charles Lennon, Jr., Director of the Department of Redevelopment, explained to the Board that a popcorn vendor had been operating in the Bicentennial Village area but the wiring in that area was not sufficient and the Electrical Inspection Department would not approve the temporary wiring being used,, where cable was laid across the sidewalk. The Manager of the Peanut Shop is objecting to the vendor being located in front of his store since they both sell the same items. Mr. Lennon said there are really two questions involved. One is whether vendors are to operate in the green belt area of the Plaza or just the Bicentennial Village area. He said this is a question for the River Bend Plaza Advisory Committee to settle. The other question is whether vendors competing with the downtown merchants should be allowed. Mr. Lennon said this particular problem with the popcorn vendor will be solved when the proper electrical outlet is available in the Bicentennial Village. He said he felt the other question of where vendors are to be allowed should go to the River Bend Plaza Advisory Committee for an answer. Mr. Barcome said the Board would try to do everything they could to resolve the problem. He said Mr. Wilcox and the River Bend Plaza Advisory Committee have been working hard to bring people into the downtown. He said the Board would abide by whatever recommendation the River Bend Plaza Advisory Committee made.. Mr. Raymond Breden of the Peanut Shop spoke to the Board. Mr. Breden said the downtown merchants were assured, in early planning meetings, that vendors would not be allowed to station themselves in direct competition with the downtown merchants. Mr. Breden said it was his understanding that the vendors would be assigned to an approved location and would have to come back for approval before they could move to another location. Mr. Breden said -he attended the River Bend Plaza Advisory Committee meeting in `regard to this problem and they advised him to attend the Board of Public Works meeting. Mr. Breden said he felt the Board's obligation was to the people they have been dealing with from the beginning, the downtown merchants who are paying taxes and who will still be here when the vendors have left. Mr. Richard Doyle, Attorney, said there needed to be some clarification of the Board's position on vendors and he was advised to discuss this matter with Deputy City Attorney Kathleen Cekanski. Mr. Doyle said the downtown merchants did not have the opportunity to consider whether they wanted to get into this outdoor vending activity. He said there are now some 40 applications on file and this is going to present a problem to the merchants. Mr. Seitz expressed his concern that the green belt area should be retained and said he had reservations about allowing vendors in that area. Mr. Lennon said the original plan had been to allow no booths in that area. Mr. Barcome made a motion that the popcorn vendor near the Peanut Shop move his vehicle to the Bicentennial Village area and operate there when they have installed the proper electrical facilities. The motion was seconded and carried. Mr. Breden said the merchants are not complaining about vendors in the Bicentennial Area but only vendors in the green belt area in direct competition to merchants there. I126 REGULAR MEETING JUNE 191 1974 REQUEST FOR CITY TO ASSUME RE. 4dIBILI'TY FOR STREET LIGHT A request from Roland Longley and residents of the 700 block Cleveland Avenue was presented to the Board. The residents have been paying for a street light at the alley intersection in the 700 block Cleveland Avenue. Since the City has now put lights in the area, they feel the City should assume responsibility for this light. Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the Board referred the request to the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting for review and recommendation. REQUEST FOR BLOCK PARTY The Board received a request from Mr. & Mrs. Victor Papai to hold a block party on Winston Drive on Sunday, July 7 from noon until 8:00 p.m. Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the Board referred the request to the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting for review and recommendation.

C. Street Lighting - survey of necessary street lighting within the area would be made within 90 days after the effective date of the annexation and contracts for the erection of street light- ing as needed to furnish an equivalent lighting to that of the other areas of the City with similar characteristics of topo- graphy,.land utilization and population density would be contracted for within 6 months of the effective date of the annexation and such lighting could be com- pleted dependent upon the supplies and equipment of the Indiana and Michigan Electric Company within 9 to 12 months thereafter. D. Sanitatation - this service can be available immediately Service upon the effective date of the annexation at the request of any residents within the area who wish to avail themselves of this service. 1 11 1 1 REGULAR MEETING E. Sewer Service JUNE 19, 1974 - construction of trunk sewers could be commenced approximately l year after the effective date of the annexation and all trunk sewer comstruction could be completed within 2 years of the effective date of the ordinance. Local sewers can be installed to connect to these trunk sewers at any time after construction and within the 3 year period to serve residents as requested by them and upon arrangement for` payment of the prevailing share of cost of local sewer installation, the same being a 50% of the cost thereof. All local sewer construction, if so petitioned for, could be completed within 3 years of the effective date of the annexation ordinance., SECTION 5. The Board of Public Works now establishes and adopts the following fiscal plan for furnishing of such services: A. Street Maintenance and Traffic Control - The Bureau of Streets and Bureau of Traffic will assume the maintenance of all existing streets in the territory to be annexed. Maintenance of 45.4 miles of streets and roads at $2500 per mile would be an annual cost of $113,500. Approximately 8 miles of state highways and 4 miles of Indiana East- West Toll Road would be maintained by the state highway department and the Toll Road Commission respectively. Annual revenues, received by the City from per capita refund of state collected motor vehicle gas taxes at $8.85 would be applied to street maintenance. The balance of the cost of street maintenance for the additional year will be paid from appropriations from federal revenue sharing funds. Thereafter, street maintenance within the territory to be annexed will become a part of the annual budget of the City of South Bend for its general street maintenance program to be finances from the same sources as that budget is presently funded. B. Street Lighting - The annual cost of street liggting for the 45.4 miles of streets, roads and highways within the territory to be annexed is estimated at $775 per mile to furnish equivalent City street lighting at a total cost of $35,185 per annum. The first year of cost of operation of the street lighting program will be paid from appropriations from revenue sharing funds.. Thereafter, the cost of street lighting will be paid from tax revenues to be derived from the territory to be.annexed and from the same fund that finances the existing street lighting budget. C. Sanitation - This service is presently provided by the City to residents for a fee of $3.00 per month per family and is currently a self-supporting service. No City costs are assigned to this service. D. Sewer Service - Trunk sewers would be provided for the area by the construction of $864,300 of 12", 15", 18" and 21" diameter sewers. There are 27.69 miles of City streets and roads in the territory which would not contain trunk sewers. There are 6.14 miles of state highways in the territory not containing trunk sewers. Auten Road, Portage Road and Olive Road are perimeter roads that are not counted in the total road mileage, but would be subject to having local sewer construction thereon and would comprise 4.83 miles. Total mileage is.49 milesof which is calculated that 75% thereof would require local sewerage for a total of 36.75 miles. Based upon the 36.75 miles of sewer at $47,520 per mile, the construction cost of local sewers is estimated at $1,746,360. If the City participates in 50 of this cost, there would be a total cost to the City for local sewer construction of $873,150. Financing of this construction could be accomplished in several ways. First, federal water and sewer grants are expected in the near future for this.type of construction. Based on 75% federal participation, 10% state participation, and the remainder from local sources, the total cost would be $260,670.50. In the event this type of financing was unavailable, the general obligations bonds could be issued for the construction of trunk sewers in the amount of $864,300. Based on 5% interest and a 25 year term, the annual cost would be $61,324.21. The City has a bonding capacity to finance this amount. I130 REGULAR MEETING JUNE 19, 1974 SECTION 6. The Board of Public Works determines that the revenue to the City to be anticipated from such annexation will be derived from the following: A. Property tax revenue as based upon assessed valuation of $4,642,050 would produce $233,959.32 per year to be derived from tax payment made annually beginning with 1975 payable 1976 taxes. B. Revenue from distribution of state collected taxes from motor vehicle highway tax, special $.02 motor vehicle highway tax, cigarette tax to general fund and cigarette tax to cumulative capital improvement fund is estimated at $21.06 per capita.for a total available distribution of $94,496.22. C. Estimated revenue sharing distribution from the federal govern- ment based upon present revenue sharing would be in the amount of $68,023 per annum. D. Total estimated revenue from the territory to be annexed would be $396,478.54. E. Total cost of services to be furnished to the area to be annexed, including all governmental services for fire and police protection as well as the proprietary services herein enumerated, together with allowance for 10% of government overhead expense.of $35,889.30, would be $394,782.30.
