Comm at** **port: <br /> Health and Public Safety Committee <br /> "eo tbt Common Coma of ttjt ttty of goutfj tnb: <br /> The February 28, 2000 meeting of the Health and Public Safety Committee was called to <br /> order by its Chairperson, Council Member Andrew Ujdak, at 5:00 p.m. in the Council <br /> informal meeting room. <br /> Persons in attendance included Council Members: Aranowski, White, Varner, Coleman, <br /> Kirsits,Ujdak,Pfeifer,and Kelly; Fire Chief Luther Taylor,Battalion Chief James Lopez <br /> of Special Operations and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand. <br /> Council Member Ujdak noted that the first item on the agenda was Bill No. 21-00 which <br /> would appropriate$21,300 from the Indiana River Rescue Fund(Fund#291). <br /> Fire Chief Luther Taylor introduced Battalion Chief James Lopez to the Committee. He <br /> noted that the proposed appropriation would purchase 15 hp motors,ropes and pullies, life <br /> jackets & helmets, boats and radios as further detailed on the attachment to the Bill. He <br /> also noted that $ 2,000 is proposed as "working capital" to address unforeseen <br /> emergencies. Monies in this fund are generated by the River Rescue instructors who teach <br /> a minimum of two (2)forty-hour classes each year for public safety officers throughout the <br /> United States. <br /> Following discussion on the Bill, the Council Attorney noted that she has issued an <br /> advisory legal opinion on whether Council Member Kirsits could vote on this Bill as well <br /> as Bill No. 22-00 while also serving as a member of the South Bend Fire Department. She <br /> noted that she had contacted the Indiana Ethics Commission and the City's Legal <br /> Department as a part of her research. She has concluded that Council Member Kirsits does <br /> NOT have a conflict of interest on either of the Bills pending before this Committee and <br /> will be able to participate in their discussion and disposition. She further added that these <br /> matters would be reviewed on a case by case basis. (A copy of the advisory opinion is <br /> attached to these minutes). <br /> Council Member White then made a motion, seconded by Council Member Kelly that Bill <br /> No.21-00 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. <br /> Chief Taylor then reviewed Bill No. 22-00 which would appropriate$ 8,350 from the Has- <br /> Mat Fund for the purchase of the eleven (11)types of equipment listed in the detail to the <br /> ordinance. He noted that $ 1,000 is being proposed as "working capital" for unforeseen <br /> emergencies. This fund has a balance of$ 16,000 as of January. <br /> Following discussion, Council Member Kelly made a motion, seconded by Council <br /> Member Kirsits that Bill No. 22-00 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion <br /> passed. <br /> Under miscellaneous business, Council Member Pfeifer noted that she would be <br /> reinstituting the special sub-committee on "traffic calming". <br /> There being no further business to come before the Committee,the meeting was adjourned <br /> by Council Member Ujdak at 5:07 p.m. <br />
