Callers can get connected with Memorial or St. Joe (preferably St. Joe) — help line for sexual assault victims for higher education institutes. Patrick O'Connor: Last week was Mental Illness Awareness week. The campus was green and there was some information on social media regarding mental illness. There was a good turnout for the student engagements. There is a new safe ride program called O-Snap. This program offers rides to/from campus. The Ghosts and Goblins event is coming up after fall break. There will be games, candy and prizes. The DTSB bus tour was a good event. They would like to market the events sooner with the hopes of more people attending. Mark Kramer: No current issues with any parties. 612 Notre Dame Ave will be converted into a family home rather than student housing. They would like to convert more rentals into family housing. They will be targeting the area of Miner and Sorin. Kathy Cekanski Farrand: Adriana Rodriguez is working with her on a draft proposal regarding transportation/ordinances and parking details. Also looking to upgrade noise regulations. This is a top priority. Council is working with colleges and students for volunteers to help with snow removal for the upcoming season.
