Savings Contract is complex in nature, but what it provides will allow the city to recover their installation expenses over the length of the twenty (20) year contract.

that they meet all the terms and requirements of the contract and Indiana law.

SECTION III. Exhibit 1 together with its incorporated attachments constitutes a
Guaranteed Energy Savings contract in compliance with Indiana law requirements and it
should be confirmed, ratified, and approved by the Common Council for the Conservation Measure Projects at the Morris facility.

and all members of the Board of Public Works to execute and deliver on behalf of the City any
and all documents and instruments necessary or proper, and further to do and cause to be done any and all other acts necessary or proper to carry out the transactions contemplated by Exhibit 1 or by law.
Adopted the 26th day of October 2021.

Each claim is fully supported by an invoice; the person receiving the goods or services has
approved the claims; and the claims have been filed with the City Fiscal Officer and certified for
accuracy. Therefore, upon a motion by Mr. Molnar, seconded by Mr. Miller, and carried by roll call, the Board ratified the preapproved claims payments. *Mr. Gilot noted that the Interstate Gas Supply contract (Item 10.C.) had an auto-renewal unless
cancelled by the City and he stated that it is his understanding that Board of Public Works can
only approve contracts for up to a 5 year contract so, asking if Legal could confirm that the auto-renewal wouldn’t extend past the five (5) years. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Mr. Huey Schoby, 3415 Riverside Drive, addressed the Board regarding his 2019 letter about the relocation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and the renaming of Charles Martin Sr. Drive. He asked the Board to re-review his requests, expressing that he wants Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. to be extended throughout the City thoroughfare from Route 20 up to Angela Blvd. and
that he would like it to happen before the end of the year so that it can be dedicated on Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday and celebrated at the Dr. Martin Luther King breakfast and luncheon in January. He said that he has proof that the community wanted this done and that the count was in his favor for this decision.
He also raised issues with the location of Charles Martin Sr. Drive, stating that it should be
moved to Cottage Groves where the street runs north past the Charles Martin Building. He called for justice and expressed his dissatisfaction with the previous review and resolution of this matter. Ms. Maradik responded that she recalled this issue from her time on the Board and recalled the rationale that was expressed in the October 2019 letter from Mr. Gilot regarding the
REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 26, 2021 201
renamings. However, Ms. Maradik stated she would refer the matter back to staff and make them aware that Mr. Schoby had resubmitted his letter. .
Ms. Maradik raised the topic of the 2022 BPW Meeting schedule, inquiring about Agenda Review meetings in 2022, and expressing her desire to have the most well-informed Board while also being respectful of everyone’s time. Mr. Gilot expressed that although the Board is operating efficiently with its record-keeping and document review procedures, he would like to
add a more personal touch via Agenda Review sessions. He would like the chance to ask staff
more specific questions and would like the public to have that opportunity, too. He also advocated for maintaining a regular meeting schedule and just to cancel those that are not needed. Mr. Miller expressed that prior to joining the Board, he attended Agenda Review meetings and found them helpful. Mr. Molnar expressed that he likes receiving full
documentation prior to the Regular Meetings and that there has been less to review in the past, so
he is agnostic regarding Agenda Review sessions. He feels that his questions are answered very quickly by staff and is open to having the meetings if other Board members want them. Mr. Gathers and Ms. Maradik acknowledged the helpful electronic advances made to make the Board more efficient and stated there are less questions and items overall; however, but both
supported a path forward with agenda review meetings, at least occasionally.
Clerk Fuchs discussed logistics of releasing the Agenda Review session agenda and compliance with Open Door Law. Acting Board Attorney Jenna Throw clarified that the 2022 meeting schedule would be sufficient to meet requirements and that the Agenda Review Session agenda
could be released any time prior to the meeting. Clerk Fuchs asked the Board whether they
would like to continue in the hybrid meeting format, and Board Members responded that they thought a hybrid format would not be too burdensome and would make it easier for City staff to be available. The Board also agreed that items could be added to the Agenda Review Session during the meeting. Finally, the Board agreed that the Agenda Review meetings would resume in
January 2022.
Ms. Maradik informed the Board and the public that this is Clerk Fuchs’ last meeting with the Board and expressed her enjoyment working with Anne and thanked her for her efforts to build a stronger South Bend. On behalf of the Board, she wished Clerk Fuchs the best in her future
endeavors. Clerk Anne Fuchs thanked the Board, Eric Horvath, and the staff of Legal and
Engineering for six wonderful years with the City in jobs that she has loved.
ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board, Ms. Maradik adjourned the meeting at
10:38 a.m.
