The October 27 , 1980 meeting of the Personnel and Finance Committee
was called to order by its Chairman, Councilman Beverly D. Crone, at
5:00 p.m. in the Council Meeting room.
Persons in attendance included: Councilmen Crone, Voorde, McGann,
Beck, and Szymkowiak, Chief Deputy City Attorney, Robert M. Parker,
and Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Bill No. 127-80, the
proposed annexation of property located at Cleveland and Maple,
Mr. Parker reviewed the background of the Bill. He noted that
originally it started out as a voluntary annexation but then
turned into an involuntary annexation. The property included approximately
9 1/2 acres of land bordered on the west by Maple Road and on the south
by the Tndiana East-West Toll Road.
The request is coming from the St. Joseph Bank and Trust Company of
South Bend which anticipates building a branch bank at the location.
Since there was not enough continguity as originally proposed to satisfy
the 51% requirement, the involuntary route was the easier route to go.
With the land as presently proposed, it would be 81% contiguous.
Mr. Parker noted that sewers are already at the location, and that
the City would not supply water to the location. He further explained
that a temporary unit such as a trailer would be initially used, and if it
had satisfactory results then a permanent structure would be built., He
believed that the. Board of Public Works is being petitioned to allow the
trailer at the location for a one year period.
The Committee questioned whether the petition for rezoning would be
for the entire track, and were informed that it was. The Committee also
questioned the area of legal advertisement costs, Mr. Parker stated
that the fee would be approximately $300. 00, and that he had discussed
this matter with Mr. Lloyd Taylor, No resolution of the fees had been
reached. Mr. Parker did note however, that by going the involuntary
route it resulted in a time saving devise for the Bank.
Following discussion, Councilman McGann made a motion to report
Bill No. 127-80 favorably to the Council. Councilman Voorde seconded
the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
There being no further business to come before the committee,
the meeting was adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
