RE: Alley Vacation—First North/South Alley East of Arthur Street,running from
Campeau Street on the South to the First East-West Alley on the North covering a
distance of approximately 156 feet, South Bend, Indiana;
Dear Council Members:
On behalf of our clients we are requesting approval of the vacation of a portion of the First
North-South Alley East of Arthur Street, running from Campeau Street on the South to the First
East-West Alley on the North covering a distance of approximately 156 feet, being in South
Bend, Indiana.
The reason for this request is to allow for the properties located on either side of the proposed
alley to be enlarged and to close a public right-of-way which allows for vehicles using the alley
to come within a few feet of the two existing adjacent homes. Both homes are owned by the
petitioners, and they desire to increase the safety in the use of their properties through the
proposed vacation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to give me a call at 234-
4003.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA,AMENDING CHAPTER 6 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE
TO INCLUDE A NEW ARTICLE 13 ESTABLISHING RESPONSIBLE BIDDING
PRACTICES
AND SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS ON PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The City of South Bend ("City") is required by State law to award capital
improvement contracts to the"lowest responsive and responsible"bidder(IC §36-1-12-
4(b)(8)). The City pursuant to (IC 36-1-12-4(b)(10)) considers the following factors when
determining whether a bidder is a"responsive"bidder: (a)whether the bidder has submitted a
bid or quote that conforms in all material respects to the specifications; (b)whether the bidder
has submitted a bid that complies specifically with the invitation to bid and the instructions to
bidders; and (c) whether the bidder has complied with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
resolutions, or rules pertaining to the award of a public contract.The City pursuant to Indiana
Code 36-1-12-4(b)(11) considers the following factors when determining whether a bidder is
a"responsible"bidder: (a)the ability and capacity of the bidder to perform the work; (b)the
integrity, character, and reputation of the bidder;and(c)the competence and experience of
the bidder. State law also requires that bidders meet certain minimum requirements in order
to be a"responsive and responsible"bidder.
The City, based upon its experience, has determined that quality workmanship,
efficient operation, safety, and timely completion of projects requires all bidders to meet
minimum requirements in order to be a"responsive and responsible"bidder.The City seeks
to enhance its ability to identify"responsive and responsible"bidders on all City public
works projects by instituting more comprehensive submission requirements which are in
compliance with State law.
This "Responsible Bidding Practices and Submission Requirements"Ordinance will
assure efficient use of taxpayer dollars,will promote public safety, and is in the public
interest.This Ordinance will also help ensure that no contractor awarded work under this
Ordinance, or any subcontractor working on a project award pursuant to this Ordinance,
engages in payroll fraud,tax fraud, including the misclassification of employees as
independent contractors to avoid paying state, federal or local payroll taxes, workers'
compensation insurance,unemployment insurance premiums and failing to pay overtime and
wages as required by law.
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT ORDAINED BY THE
COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,INDIANA,AS FOLLOWS:

shall submit the required information (including the name, address, and type of work) to the

Re: Resolution Approving Interlocal Agreement

Dear Council President Scott:
Attached for filing with the South Bend Common Council is a Resolution to approve an
Interlocal Agreement between the City of South Bend and the St. Joseph County Prosecutor
concerning the mutual operation of special law enforcement units known as Metro Units (the
Agreement). This Resolution grows out of a history of City Police Department cooperation with the
St.Joseph County Prosecutor for crimes of particular high impact on the safety and welfare of City
citizens.
The Metro Units covered by the Interlocal Agreement are the St. Joseph County Metro
Homicide Unit("CMHU"),the St.Joseph County Special Victims Unit("SVU"),and the St.Joseph
County Drug Investigation Unit ('DIU").
By this Agreement the City will cooperatively assist the Metro Units'operation by providing
South Bend Police Department officers to serve as investigators,and additionally by providing funds
for the cost and expenses of three additional investigators at approximately $103,000 annually per
officer, or about$308,500 in total. Sufficient funds exist within the City's 2018 Budget to cover this
service program.

Investigative Bureau of the SBPD, including matters related to standards of conduct, sexual
harassment, and equal opportunity. Failure to comply with any of the foregoing may result in the
Investigator's removal from the Metro Unit. Administrative advisories,recommendations,
commendations or complaints regarding officers assigned to Metro Units will be directed to the
SBPD in a timely manner so that the SBPD may determine what, if any, investigation is required,
and act accordingly.
Section 3.10. Overtime. The parties understand that SBPD officers assigned to the Metro
Unit may have "on-call" responsibilities and may be required to work after-hours to conduct
investigations. The Chief or his/her designee will coordinate with the Metro Unit commander to
set overtime guidelines. The Chief will review overtime usage on a monthly basis. If the Chief
sets a specific limit on the number of overtime hours which may be worked, overtime hours
surpassing that number set by the Chief will not be approved. The Chief or his/her designee will
notify the Metro Unit commander if budgetary concerns arise or there is need to reduce the
number of overtime hours previously established by the Chief.
Page 5
Section 3.11 Reports and Files. A Metro Unit supervisor must review and approve all
investigative reports, which are prepared and submitted by Metro Unit Investigators. Once
approved, all investigative reports will become a part of a numbered investigative file. The Metro
Unit Investigators may utilize their own investigative report format provided they conform to the
criteria outlined by the Metro Unit commander. All investigative reports and related documents,
civil or criminal, will be considered permanent records of the Metro Unit. The Metro Unit is
responsible for maintaining a readily accessible copy of every Metro Unit-generated investigative
report. Any public requests for access to the records or any disclosures of information obtained
by Metro Unit Investigators will be handled by the Prosecutor, in accordance with applicable
statutes,regulations, and policies pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act,
Access to Public Records Act, and other applicable State and federal statutes or regulations.
Reports properly requested by Internal Affairs or the City Legal Department will be provided by

Strategy Sessions (L.E.S.S.) meeting dissemination, and in person to fellow law enforcement
