IN South Bend Common Council City of South Bend 215 S Doctor M.L.K.Jr Blvd. South Bend, IN 46601 RE: Resolutions concerning the approval, interim approval, and denial of Scrap Metal/Junk Dealers/Recycling Operation Licenses pursuant to Section 4-51 of the South Bend Municipal Code. Dear Honorable Council Members: Renewal applications for the operation of Scrap Metal/Junk Dealers/Recycling Operations have been received. In accordance with the procedure for the renewal of city business licenses these applications were submitted to the Police Department, Fire Inspection Bureau, Neighborhood Resources, and the Zoning Department for their review and recommendation. The relevant departments conduct the following reviews: SBPD - Reviews the following criteria: • Criminal history and the likelihood that granting the license will endanger the health, safety, or welfare of the public. • Ensures applicant does not have any warrants and is not involved in any criminal investigations. • Verify that applicants enter electronic transaction report to SBPD daily and utilize video surveillance. NSE - Reviews the following ordinance criteria in addition to overall municipal code compliance: • Fencing is in good condition: verified by Code &Zoning. • Is there litter or debris around the exterior part of the business. • Are there improperly parked vehicles. • Are there any environmental issues.

Resolution for Approval: The following applicants were inspected and received favorable recommendations from City departments: • OmniSource LLC - 1305 Prairie Ave. • Paul's Auto Yard - 3300 S. Main St. • Stevie's Enterprises - 3109 S. Gertrude Because the above applicants have met all the requirements of the ordinance, the attached resolution approving licenses is respectfully submitted for your consideration. Resolution for Interim Grant: The following applicants were inspected and reviewing departments identified deficiencies: • LKQ Pick Your Part Midwest, LLC - 1602 S. Lafayette Blvd. • Big Bulldog Auto Parts - 3700 S. Gertrude St. • Alternative Two, LLC - 700 W. Chippewa Ave. • Republic Services - 2500 Green Tech Dr. The deficiencies referenced above either do not rise to a level that would necessitate denial of the license at this time, and/or that it is appropriate for the City to grant additional time for compliance. The deficiencies needing to be corrected are as follows: • LKQ Pick Your Part Midwest, LLC: Compliance with required LeadsOnline electronic reporting to SBPD. • Big Bulldog Auto Parts: Compliance with required LeadsOnline electronic reporting to SBPD. • Alternative Two, LLC: Demonstration of compliance with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) for active violations of Indiana and Federal environmental law and continued compliance with the South Bend Fire Department to complete work on their Fire suppression system. • Republic Services: Continued compliance with the South Bend Fire Department to complete work on their Fire suppression system. Under Sections 4-6, 4-16, and 4-51 of the South Bend Municipal Code, the Common Council is authorized to condition the issuance of a business license to ensure that operations do not pose a nuisance or hazard and are conducted in compliance with all applicable fire, health, environmental, and public safety laws. Section 4-51 further contemplates the issuance of interim licenses, including time-limited licenses and extensions, as a regulatory tool. Accordingly,the enclosed Resolution proposes issuance of an interim license,subject to clearly defined,objective compliance requirements and a fixed duration. This approach allows the Applicants an opportunity to achieve full compliance while preserving the City's enforcement authority and protecting public health,safety, and welfare. The Resolution further provides that, upon written certification by the Business License Administrator that all conditions have been satisfied, the interim license shall automatically convert to a full scrap metal dealer license for the remainder of the applicable license term, without the need for additional Council action.This certification function is ministerial in nature and does not delegate licensing discretion from the Common Council. Failure to satisfy the conditions within the specified timeframe constitute grounds for revocation of this interim license without further Council action. This interim licensing approach reflects a measured exercise of the City's '" City of South Bend Community Investment police power to protect public health and safety while affording the Applicant a reasonable opportunity to achieve compliance. We ask that Council please place these resolutions on the agenda for its May 11, 2026 meeting. Please note that the applicants receiving a recommendation for an interim license have received notice that their matter is expected to be heard on May 11th. If you or other Council Members have any questions, please contact me at (574) 235-5912. Sincerely, /c .
