Council Member Luecke noted that Bill No. 122-88 which would
amend Chapter 9 Article 4 of the South Bend Municipal Code
addressing leaf burning and air pollution control had
received a favorable recommendation at a prior meeting.
The committee then reviewed Bill No. 83-89 which would
appropriate funds from the leaf collection and the removal
services operational fund.
Katie Humphreys stated that she would like to amend the
Bill. The first payment would be due June 13, 1990. The
new total would be $27, 345. Anticipated receipts are
projected at $22, 104 from the assessment plus private fund
raising. It was projected that the account would be in the
black by 1994.
Following further discussion Council Member Voorde made a
motion seconded by Council Member Slavinskas that the Bill
be amended as recommended by the City Controller. The
motion passed.
Council Member Slavinskas stated that he urged the City to
contact the Township Trustees with regard to possible
sources of manpower for the program.
Council Member Coleman stated all available sources of
manpower should be pursued, but that the salaries and wages
temporary should remain at the proposed amount.
Council Member Luecke stated that the start up this year
would have snags, however, with cooperation, the program
should work.
Council Member Niezgodski questioned whether the equipment
delivery was guaranteed. Jenny Pitts Manier stated that 4
machines are to be delivered tomorrow and that a $100 per
day penalty had been incorporated into the contract.
