PUBLIC HEARING - HOMELAND 2ND ADDITION SANITARY SEWER PROJECT This was the date set for holding a public hearing on the proposed construction under Barrett Law of the Homeland 2nd Addition Sanitary Sewers, authorized under Improvement Resolution No. 3415, 1975. 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. Farrand said a previous hearing was held on the Homeland Sewer Project at which time a detailed presentation was made on the Barrett Law project and procedures. He said unless there were specific questions, he would not go into those details at this time. At the previous hearing on theproject, it was voted down by a majority of the property owners. After that hearing, there were some people who expressed an interest in construction of a sewer to serve them specifically. Mr. Farrand said the Board was trying to make this project available to anybody who needed it, so they have prepared another set of plans and an assessment roll showing charges to property owners for the project. Mr. Farrand said the Board's position would be that anybody not wanting to participate in this project 38 REGULAR MEETING JUNE 16, 1975 would not be forced to do so. David Wells, Manager of the Bureau of Design and Administration, distributed preliminary assessment rolls showing the assessments to be charged against each,property owner. He said these amounts could not be increased. He said he would be glad to answer any questions about the assessment roll or the project. Mr. Irving Finkler, who operates a business at the corner of Olive and Prairie, advised the Board that he owns Lots 4, 5, 6 and 7 and they already have sewers. He said they are already paying for these sewers and he did not hink it.was fair to charge them an assessment for this sewer project. He asked if the City intended to put him out of business. Mr. Wells said this was not anyone's intention. He said Mr. Finkler does have sewer service, from a sewer that is unrecorded. He said there appears to be some question about that particular situation. He also said the City has received some complaints from Mr.. Finkler's neighbors about the condition of that sewer. Mr. Wells said, if this project is put in, Mr. Finkler might have a legal complaint, since he does have a sewer of sorts. He said Mr. Finkler could write to the Board and request that he be taken off the Assessment Roll. Mr. Finkler said a majority of the property owners.had voted against this project previously and he asked why the City continues to bring the matter up. Mr. Wells said the Board did receive communications from people specifically requesting that the sewer be put in their area. At their request, they have prepared a new set of plans. The Board did not initiate the action. This was an unsewered area and a request for sewers was received. Mr. Wells said the question the property owners will have to answer is can they live with the amount assessed against their property - is it to their advantage to have the sewers. Mr. Seitz said it will be up to the people involved. If they don't want the sewers, they won't be put in. Mr. Ed Nowak, 2407 S. Meade Street, owner of Lot 62 said he realizes this project was voted down previously. He said the Board had said at the other meeting.on the project that if anybody was interested in a particular area of the project they could talk to the Board about it. Mr. Nowak said they need the sewers and they asked the Board if they could have Meade Street, from Ewing to Prairie, included in the sewer project. Mr. Forrest Myers, 2317 S. Meade Street, said he has a..sewer problem. He has three dry wells in his front yard now. He said there is quite a cost involved to have these systems cleaned out. He said since such a project is available, he would like to get sewers. Mr. Witzcak, owner of Lots 118 and 119, 2627 Prairie Avenue, said he was requesting that this project be brought up again. He said the residents on Prairie Avenue are interested in the sewers. Mr. Charles Prussner, 2526 W. Ewing, said he felt sewers should be put in on Ewing Avenue. He said.he had three dry wells on his property now and said he does not know where he would go if he had to put in another one. He said they have been in the City for twenty years and feel they should have sewers. Mr. William Kurzhal, 2637 Prairie Avenue, said he was very interested in having the sewers put in. He said he did not want to put in a new septic system, but would like City sewers. Mr.. Ed Kurshal, owner of Lot 114 and part of Lot 115, said it is doubtful if there is a home in the area that could pass a Board of Health inspection in regard to sewers. Some sewer systems are pumping on top of the ground. Mr. Farrand then asked if there was anyone else present who wished to speak regarding the project. There was not. REGULAR MEETING JUNE 16, 1975 P 1 1 1 Mr. Wells advised those present that, in the event they own several lots and do not want taps put in for each lot, they can indicate this to him and the tap charges for any taps not wanted will be removed from the assessment roll and they will be charged for only one tap. Mr.. Wells said anyone who wanted to discuss this with him could do so after the meeting. Mr. Wells was asked about,the charge for hook-up from the tap to the existing system and he said he did not have an exact figure, but the last figure quoted to him was $6.00 a foot. Mr. Farrand then said the comments of those present are a matter of record and he made a motion that the matter be taken under advisement for a period of.two weeks, to give any property owner listed on the. assessment roll a chance to make their position known to the Board of Public Works, in writing, should they so desire. Two weeks from today, June 30, 1975, the Board will make a determination on the project, based on the position of the affected property owners. The motion was seconded and carried. Mr. Farrand was asked what kind of a timetable the project would have if it was approved. He said that within a period pf three months it could be in the ground and completed. . REPORT - VALLEY CABLEVISION PETITION TO INCREASE RATES Mr. Farrand read the following report from the Board of Public Works relative to the petition of Valley Cablevision for a change in rates: "The Board of Public Works has carefully examined and studied the recent Petition of Valley Cablevision for a change in its rate structure and intends to give the matter its further attention and consideration before rendering a final decision.on the petition. Valley Cablevision does provide service in other counties, towns and cities under other franchise agreements and has announced its intention to file similar petitions for a change in rage structure in such other counties and communities. In order to better evaluate the need, if any, for a rate increase under the franchise agreement between Valley Cablevision and the City of South Bend, this Board will withhold a decision on the Petition of Valley Cablevision until it has filed similar petitions in such other counties, towns and cities in which it operates and some indication as to the probable action of such other counties, towns and cities on the petitions to be filed by Valley Cablevision. The Board promises a prompt decision as soon as this has been accomplished." Mr. Louis Chapleau, Attorney for Valley Cablevision, was present. He said this recommendation places Valley Cablevision in an untenable position. The petition was filed with the City of South Bend because they serve the most customers in South Bend. Mr. Chapleau. said it was their thought that the other franchise holders would respond to the action that would be taken by this Board and they would be guided by what this Board would do. Mr. Chapleau said it would be very difficult for Valley Cablevision to go to nine different places and file their petitions and then come back and tell the Board what the attitude of nine different groups was. He said Valley has presented a petition to the Board and has given the Board information to enable them to act. Mr. Chapleay said he felt the Board should make a decision because he felt sure the other communities were going to look to this Board. They would feel that this Board is better qualified to act on these matters. REGULAR MEETING JUNE 160 1975 Mr. Bazil O'Hagan was present and noted.that one of the reasons for filing the first petition with South Bend was that South Bend was the first City served by Valley CAblevision. It was the first major city in this part oE,ithe country served by Cablevision. The rate structure that was established at the time the Franchise Agreement was approved was one of the lowest rates in effect around the country. Mr. O'Hagan said the rate increase is definitely needed and it seemed appropriate that the first served community would be the first one petitioned for such action. Mr. Farrand noted that the Board is not asking that this be a simultaneous rate increase. The intent of the Board is to assure that petitions are actually filed with each of the other jurisdictions to get some idea that they are actively being pursued. There is nothing in the way this was written to indicate that the rate increases should be granted simultaneously. Mr. Barcome said the Board is particularly concerned about the rates charged in St. Joseph County and Mishawaka, and not so much with those charged in Elkhart, Nappanee or Plymouth. He said he felt the same rate should be established in South Bend, St. Joseph County and Mishawaka. He said it appears, in many things, that South Bend has to carry a larger share. He said he would be willing to meet with the County Commissiones and Mayor Prickett to come up with an established rate for everybody that would be equal. Mr. Harry White, General Manager of Valley Cablevision, said, based on the facts that have been presented to the Board, this rate increase is financially justified. He said it might be difficult to get two other bodies in complete agreement and said he did not agree with the Board's position at all. Mr. Seitz said the Board is concerned about a South Bend resident paying a rate of $6.50 and somebody living just outside the City paying $4.90 for a year or two years. Ile asked why Valley Cable - vision did not request a smaller increase at some earlier time. Mr. White said it is not possible to compare South Bend with Mishawaka or with another jurisdiction. He said he could not anticipate the action of the Board. He said the Board is asking them to go to nine other Boards and get everybody in agreement. He said he has no idea what their decision may be. Mr. Farrand said the matter of a rate hike has been discussed for the past two months. Petitions could have been filed in the other areas during that period. Mr. Silas West said he has done some research on this matter and he did not feel the rate increase was justified. Mr. West then quoted the present rates per month for cable television for other cities in Indiana, ranging from $4.70 to $6.00. Mr. Barcome pointed out that the averages quoted by Mr. West indicate the price here is considerably lower than in the rest of the state. Mr. West said he did not feel South Bend could afford the rate increase. Mr. Farrand made a motion that the statement, as read, be approved. There was no second. Mr. Barcome made a motion that the statement be amended to read "until it has filed similar petitions in such. other counties, towns and cities, specifically St. Joseph County and Mishawaka, Indiana," and approved. The motion was seconded and carried. RECO121ENDATION TO REJECT BIDS - BUREAU OF POLICE CLOSED CIRCUIT T.V.
