COMPLAINT - CITY CEMETERY FENCE Dennis Moran was present with a group of citizens from the neighborhood near the City Cemetery to discuss with the Board the proposed new fence installation. Mr. Moran said the neighborhood residents are not in favor of removal of the wrought iron fence and construction of a chain link fence. He questioned whether the City should allow the Morse Electric Company to retain the wrought iron fence as salvage R REGULAR MEETING JULY 2, 1979 10 for $1400.00 since there.is a demand for this type of fencing and it is worth considerably more than than. He said the area residents should have some voice in what the City is going to do in their neighborhood and said they object to the chain link fence and would like to have the wrought iron fence restored. He said the Board should consider historical significance and not merely monetary factors. John Stamper of the Historical Preservation Commission said the chain link fence will have a visual impact on the neighborhood. He said the cost of wrought iron fencing is very high and questioned the amount allowed by Morse Electric Company for salvage rights to the fence. He said the Board should consider leaving wrought iron fencing in the visible area along LaPorte Avenue. Ruth Price, Southold Heritage Foundation, said the City has channeled funds through the foundation for the restoration of the West Washington Street neighborhood and it would appear that some alternative could be considered with regard to the fencing that would be compatible with what is being done in restoration in the area. The installation of chain link fencing is a negative action in that neighborhood. She noted that.a Vice President of the United States is buried in City Cemetery and asked that the Board consider a compromise in the matter. Rita Kopczynski, 618 W. Colfax, said she strongly protested the action to install the chain link fence. She asked the Board to consider the aesthetic impact of the fence. Neighbors are trying to improve their properties and make their neighborhood a good one and this kind of fence would destroy the image the residents are trying to maintain. Floyd Carter asked the Board to consider the value of the old wrought iron fence. Robert Niezgodski of the.Park Department gave a report on the propoals received for restoring the wrought iron fence and noted that the posts are rusted through and extensive repairs would be needed. He cited the number of accidents occurring on LaPorte Avenue where the fence has been damaged and noted the continued repair costs to the City. There are repeated acts of vandalism and break -ins at the cemetery. Headstones have been overturned, a mausoleum broken into, flowers stolen and water taps turned on. The Park Department is attempting to maintain the cemetery but money and manpower are limited. He noted received a number of calls from residents on LaPorte Avenue and Walnut Street who want the new fence installed. Mr. Moran asked if there were statistics available on the extent of vandalism at City Cemetery as opposed to other cemeteries in the City and noted that vandalism will continue to occur. He said the City should not respond with this type of fence to acts of vandalism. Mr. Mullen pointed out that while vandalism is a part of the problem, the number of accidents where the fence has been damaged and the high cost of maintenance of the present fence are matters that the City must deal with. He noted the City has a responsibility to maintain the cemetery. Debbie Vargo, LaPorte Avenue, said the vandals enter the cemetery from the alley and not from LaPorte Avenue and she asked if the wrought iron fence could be maintained on LaPorte Avenue and the chain link fence put up on the alley side where kids enter the cemetery. Jane Swan, 2022 Swygart Street, noted that vandalism is prevalant in many areas and fencing is not the answer . She noted that Walker Field has a high fence with barbed wire on it and kids consistently climb the fence even though the area is not enclosed. She also questioned the advisability of the City giving salvage rights to the Contractor for the wrought iron fence. Mr. Pullen said the City could explore the possibility of retaining the wrought iron fence on LaPorte Avenue and installing chain link fencing behind it. This would give residents the visual effect of the old fencing. Mr. Moran said the residents strongly object to the chain link fence with barbed wire being installed and he asked if he could get a report on the number of acts of vandalism occurring at City Cemetery. Mr. Brunner said vandalism is a problem and his office has received a number of calls from people who want the 10i , �J REGULAR MEETING JULY 2. 1979 City to take some action so that headstones are not overturned mausoleums opened and other acts of vandalism committed. Mr. Mullen said if Southold would.like to purchase the wrought iron fencing, the City could consider requesting the contractor to relinquish his salvage rights. Stanley Przybylinski, member of the St. Joseph Cemetery Association, advised the Board that his Association has made an offer to Morse Electric Company to buy the fencing from them. That offer was made last Thursday. He asked if,;in view of the discussion today, the association should make an offer for the fencing to the City. Mr. Brunner noted that a meeting would be arranged with.all interested parties in an effort to resolve this matter. Upon motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the matter was taken under advisement and a meeting will be arranged between all the parties as soon as possible. Councilman Walter Szymkowiak suggested that if the City is going to maintain the old fence along LaPorte Avenue, they should keep the best fencing that is removed for repair work. MEETING DATE CHANGED Upon motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the regular meeting of July 16 was changed to Tuesday, July 17. NOTICE OF ASSIGN14ENT OF POLICE VEHICLE NUMBERS Police Chief Michael C. Borkowski advised the Board of the assignment of City Vehicle Numbers to new vehicles as follows: Vehicle No. 723 - 1979 AM Gen. Jeep #0000129 Vehicle No. 724 - 1979 AM Gen.

AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE ASSOCIATION REQUEST APPROVED Mr. Farabaugh, on behalf of the American Motorcycle Association, submitted a request for use of the Municipal Services Facility lot every week -end in July for the purpose of conducting a motorcycle safety course. They also requested permission to stripe the lot and to park the vehicles on Saturday nights.

Upon motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the request to advertise.for bids was approved. �J REGULAR MEETING JULY 2, 1979 107 BID ADVERTISING APPROVED - PLASTER REPAIRS AT MORRIS CIVIC AUDITORIUM Patrick M. McMahon, Director of Public Works, requested permission to advertise for bids for plaster repairs at the Morris Civic Auditorium. Specifications were attached.

Leszczynski, Manager of the Bureau of Public Construction, submitted to the Board Change Order No. l in the contract with Arco Engineering Construction Company for the Monroe Street Widening Project R & S 7902. The Change Order increases the contract by $14,718.00 and is to cover the demolition and reconstruction of an existing vault on Monroe Street alongside the Ries Furniture Company. Upon motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the Change Order was approved. PURCHASE OFFER RECEIVED FOR PLAZA PARK The Board received an offer from Van E. Gates on behalf of the Gates Chevrolet Company of $150,000 for the purchase of Plaza Park. Jane Swan spoke in opposition to the sale, noting that the price set for the property was $247,750 and that the City actually paid $300,000 for the property during the depression. She said she did not think the taxpayers of South Bend should have to give this property to someone who could afford to pay $247,750. She noted that green space is needed and even though the park may not be used now, it should be retained. Glenda Rae Hernandez objected to the sale of the park for environmental reasons, since she felt green space was needed, for economic reasons, because the city paid $300,000 for the property, and because of the needs of children. Van Gates was present and advised the Board that the City initially wanted to sell the park. He did not bid at the time the property was offered for sale because bids had to be in the amount of the offering price. He got an estimate of the value from an established appraiser who is reputable and has done a considerable amount of appraisal work in the downtown area and that value was $150,000. Mr. Gates said he has observed the park from his office window for thirty -three years and the park is not used. The price offered is reasonable. A comparison of this property with the downtown Marriott project and Century Mall is not practical. Mr. Gates said he was making the offer because he wants to expand his business. The sale will put the property back on the tax rolls. He noted he recently purchased the Sears Building on which he pays taxes of $48,000. If the building had been purchased by a county or other governmental agency, there would be.no taxes collected. Mr. Gates said if the City is willing to sell the property, he is willing to purchase it for $150,000. James Seitz, Park Superintendent, was present and noted he has always been an advocate of retaining park land. However, other parks have been developed in the area and they are better equipped and have much usage. This park is not used. He pointed out that the $300,000 figure for purchase of the property originally is vague and records are not clear. It is possible that houses were demolished and /or people relocated when the land was acquired and that would increase the price. Floyd Carter expressed his feeling that the City should not sell the park for less than $300,000. Dennis Moran said there is some use of the park and the City should take into consideration that open space must be provided for the poor and the black who would be the ones using this park. He said the park is an asset and should be retained. Mr. Brunner said the Board would be interested in receiving some positive suggestions for solving problems the City faces. The City does face a monetary problem and some hard decisions have to be made. Money from this sale u b, REGULAR MEETING JULY 2, 1979 would be used for park purposes. Mr. Brunner pointed out the development of Island Park and Bicentennial Park along the riverfront which have been developed and are being,used. This land was not available to the citizens and has now been developed into a beautiful park area. Councilman Walter Szymkowiak commended the Gates Chevrolet Company and Mr, Gates for their efforts to improve the area around their business by acquiring land and removing substandard buildings. He said they are interested in the downtown and he would like the Board-of Works'- .-and.._the- _Pa:rk_ Board to consider this offer. Upon motion made.by Mr Mullen, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the offer was referred to the Board of Park Commissioners for review and recommendation.
