Luecke President South Bend Common Council 4th Floor, County City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Dear Steve: The attached bill transfers $45,000 in federal Urban Development Action Grant Finds from the Sample-Ewing Development Area (SEDA) to two new activities in our Good Neighbors/Good Neighborhood Initiative. The two new activities to be funded from this transfer are the Neighborhood Planning Forum ($20,000) and the Neighborhood Youth Development Initiative ($25,000). The purpose of the Neighborhood Youth Development Initiative (NYDI) is to develop a strategic plan to improve this community's delivery of youth service and development activities. An informal network of approximately twelve youth service and development agencies have been meeting to discuss new, more effective ways to serve the young people of our community. These agencies plus a number of our young citizens will work together to develop this strategic plan over a twelve month period. The strategic plan will focus on small scale, neighborhood oriented efforts. The Youth Service Bureau will provide the necessary staff services, oversight and administrative support. A list of some of the participants in the informal process is also attached to this letter. The second neighborhood-based activity to be funded from this proposed appropriation is the Neighborhood Planning Forum (NPF). We are proposing that $20,000 be appropriated to support the development of a city-wide neighborhood improvement strategy. This strategy will not be a detailed neighborhood-by-neighborhood plan. Rather, we hope to develop a broad policy document in conjunction with the neighborhood organization and related groups that will guide this community's decision making process in such areas as zoning/rezoning, County-City Building • South Bend, Indiana 46601 • 219/284-9261 • Telefax 219/284-9892 transportation and land use, private-public partnerships, human and social services, public safety, physical development and design, among other neighborhood issues. More detailed neighborhood plans would flow from the guiding principles and policies established by the neighborhood planning forum process. We appreciate the Council's continuing support and involvement in the Good Neighbors/Good Neighborhoods Initiative. We would welcome individual or Council committee involvement in both the Neighborhood Youth Development Initiative and the Neighborhood Planning Forum activities; and we request your favorable consideration of the attached bill. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please call Jon Hunt at 235- 9371. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, i eph E.
