/s/Anne Fuchs, Clerk
At this time, Executive Director of Public Works Eric Horvath asked the Board if they had any
additional questions, he could assist with regarding the Ride Share Program. Mr. Gilot said that
he appreciated Eric's prior clarifications that the program is non-exclusive and that anyone can
park in the Ride Share parking spot; that the program is most likely applied to the downtown and
Eddy Street Commons areas, or anywhere where there is a lot of commercial ride traffic; and that
this is not for residential neighborhoods.
Eric Horvath added that this is all correct, and that the goal is to make things safer, following the
death of a young woman getting into an Uber on South Bend Avenue. A lot of times Ride Share
drivers double park, and these designated parking spots should make it easier for riders to safely
enter these vehicles in high volume areas and will be restricted to the times of day when high
volume is expected.

APPROVE CONSENTS TO ANNEXATION AND WAIVER OF RIGHTS TO
REMONSTRATE
Ms. Maradik stated that the Board is in receipt of the following Consents to Annexation and
Waivers of Right to Remonstrate. The Consents indicate that in consideration for permission to
tap into public water/sanitary sewer system of the City, to provide water/sanitary sewer service
to the below referenced properties, the applicants waive and release any and all rights to
remonstrate against or oppose any pending or future annexations of the properties by the City of
South Bend:
A. Mr. Joseph M. Colvin, 1511 Pulaski St., South Bend, IN 46613
1. 18607 Fontana Dr. — Water/Sewer (Key No.002-1014-027413)
Upon a motion by Mr. Molnar, seconded by Mr. Gathers and carried by roll call, the Consents to
Annexation and Waivers of Right to Remonstrate were approved as submitted.
APPROVE RENEWAL OF WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMITS)
In a Memorandum to the Board, Ms. Serena Lozano -Shane, Division of Wastewater, submitted
the following Wastewater Discharge Permit(s) for renewal and recommended approval:
Cleveland -Cliffs Tek Inc. and Cleveland -Cliffs Kote Inc., 30755 Edison Rd.
Ms. Lozano -Shane clarified some changes. For Cleveland -Cliffs Tek and Cleveland -Cliffs Kote,
the limits are based on their categorical standards and our own local limits assessment, and the
most stringent limits are applied; we therefore had a couple of limits change according to those
regulations. Mr. Gilot asked specifically what local limits are more stringent than the already
stringent federal limits. Ms. Shane responded Nickel, based on how much nickel we have to
allocate to local industries based on pounds of pollutant. She added that Chromium and Zinc
were also more stringent local limits.
There being no further discussion, upon a motion made by Mr. Molnar, seconded by Mr. Gathers
and carried by roll call, the renewal of the permit was approved.
Pioneer Metal Finishing LLC, 2424 Foundation Dr.
REGULAR MEETING MAY 11,2021 102
Ms. Lozano -Shane clarified that the changes made to this permit are to move the monitoring
point to an inside location for a more representative sampling site, as well as permit limit
changes based upon the combined waste stream formula, due to dilution water adding to their
discharge, as a result of a change to a process at that location.
There being no further discussion, upon a motion made by Mr. Molnar, seconded by Mr. Gathers
and carried by roll call, the renewal of the permit was approved.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Tony Halsey of Kite Realty requests a copy of the Resolution 20-2021 regarding Rideshare
designation.
Clerk Anne Fuchs responded that we will have this publicly available on the City's website at the
Board of Public Works, Board of Public Works Documents location by this afternoon at the
latest, but sooner if possible.
Mr. Molnar continued the business of the Board by inquiring about future meetings and whether
they would return to in -person. Clerk Anne Fuchs clarified that the Legal Department has been
staying in good touch with representatives from the Governor's Office downstate and that while
we have been advised that we will remain in virtual meetings this month, we may receive notice
of a return to in -person meetings in June or July of this year. She will continue to take the
temperature on the issue. Ms. Maradik noted that Clerk Anne Fuchs has been working with City
personnel and IT personnel to find the right technological solution for the Board's needs, and at
this time the best option appears to be the Common Council Chambers. The current plan is to
resume in -person meetings at that location when we are informed of our duty to do so.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Board, upon a motion made by Ms. Maradik,
seconded by Mr. Molnar and carried by roll call, the meeting adjourned at 10:19 a.m.
