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 .

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. SBFD -Reviews the following ordinance criteria in addition to overall municipal code, fire code, and NFPA requirements: •Ensures there are no combustible materials, and all inflammable materials must not be stored on premises. •Storerooms & garages· must be free from rubbish, waste materials, old rags & paper. •Oil, gasoline, oily waste and other greasy material must be stored in metal waste cans. •Proper number of fire extinguishers must be near areas within such scrap or junkyards ... wherein trash, metal or other waste materials may be burned •Has an unobstructed fire truck lane of at least 10 feet in width into such yard from the main entrance. Zoning -Verifies the use of the property is allowed and whether there is applicable legal non-conforming use. Excellence Accountability Innovation Inclusion Empowerment Visit City Hall 215 S.

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.

It was discovered that Big Bulldog Auto Parts does not have an account for Leads Online,violating Number 4: "Pursuant to Sec. 4051(k)(1)" It was also discovered that LKQ does a lot of business and transactions but has ZERO submissions of transactions. i then spoke with Det. Timothy Taylor about property crimes and the lack of these submissions, and he recommended that the business be held accountable to submit as it can aid in his detectives' investigations. So even though LKQ has an account, they are not fulfilling the requirement or send via electronic forms of transmission to SBPD via Leads Online. violating Number 4: "Pursuant to Sec. 4051(k)(1)" Finally, Republic Service has the same concern as LKQ. They have an account, but they are not submitting their transactions. violating Number 4: "Pursuant to Sec. 4051(k)(1)" I will be following up with these businesses in person to see if they have video camera's recording the transaction, but I wanted to share immediately that these specific businesses are not reporting via Leads Online. Please let me know how we can aid in holding these businesses accountable to report. PFC Joseph A.

Michelle Adams From: Joseph A.Cole Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2026 1:21 PM To: Michelle Adams Cc: DL-SBPDOutreach Subject: Re:Scrap Metal Dealers Michelle, LKQ-I would recommend that this business could be approved on a temporary or probationary status that is contingent upon their compliance with Leadsonline. After approval, set up a six-month reminder to check in with PD to see if in fact LKQ is abiding by the ordinance and reporting it through Leadsonline. If they do,then they will pass until their next renewal. Then, at that newest renewal, PD can check to see if they have maintained compliance.They can also be subject to compliance checks and if they stop using it,that would technically qualify as a violation per that ordinance. I did confirm that they actually registered for Leadsonline Feb. 18'"of 2025-So they have had an account for a year. Six months is plenty of time on reporting through that system only. Big Bulldog Auto Parts-You mentioned that they signed up. I confirmed that they registered as of 2/18/26, they have not reported anything but you mentioned they still are figuring out the system via leadsonline help hotline. Republic Services-They are not receiving anything to turn over for profit as its a recycling station.They logistically came through my attention based on the ordinance under Scrap metals but do to them checking the wrong box- I have no issue or PD has no problems with this business.

Chippewa Ave, South Bend. In the past,waste tires were,in general. processed into TDF(tire-derived fuel). The facility's prior storage registration specified that 12,500 passenger tire equivalents (PTEs) were allowed to be stored on the property at any given time; however, inspections going back to December 19, 2011, indicated that the facility had gone above that number, and in many instances, exceeded it by hundreds of thousands of tires. After the February 13, 2012 inspection,the facility was referred to the Office of Land Quality, Land Enforcement Section, due to this exceedance of waste tires on the property. An Agreed Order was adopted with an effective date of March 4. 2014 Case No. 2012-20771-H). The facility was referred to the Attorney Generals Office for failure to comply with the Agreed Order Additionally Court actions occurred including an Amended Agreed Judgement,that was filed on October 5, 2021. To date,the facility's waste tire storage, processing and transporting registrations have expired.

FACILITY LAYOUT The facility stores waste tires in varying stages of processing. The facility stores whole tires(passenger and semi), halved, quartered, rough shreds, baled,and OTRs waste tires. The facility consists of three main buildings.The largest,an L-shaped building,contains the main office at the front and grinding area at the rear. To the east of this building are a small storage barn and a larger building where the mulch operation was previously located. This area was recently converted to scrap metal storage. Piles of shreds, chips, and tires are spread throughout the rest of the property. INSPECTION SUMMARY On December 12, 2025, IDEM staff conducted another enforcement follow-up inspection at Alternative Two, LLC. Notice about the inspection was provided that morning. Upon arrival, a note on the office door indicated that staff would need to go tothegarage. Staff then proceeded around back to garage. Staff briefly met with a facility employee and learned that Mr Schumacher had just left and that he would be back in an hour or so. Staff requested authorization to go ahead begin the inspection of the waste tire storage area and was allowed to proceed. Although the grounds and waste tire piles were coated with snow, overall conclusions could be made. There appeared to be no changes made to the majority of the Piles noted in the September 22, 2025 inspection report. {See attached Photo Log, Page 3 of 10 Alternative Two LLC 12/122025 Photos f through 5, 9 through 12) There also appeared to be identical amounts of bailed tires staged for loading. These bailed tires also appeared to be stacked identical to those depicted in the photographs taken during the September 22 inspection, indicating that potentially no waste tires had left the site since just prior to the last inspection{See attached Photo 9 for comparison) Since the last inspection,the facility also moved the bailing machine. At the time of this inspection,it was being stored on the drive right next to south wall of the garage. In its former location,there appeared to be several more whole passenger waste tires. Those waste tires have been identified on the attached Site Map the table above as Pile F'(Note. This Pile was named Pile F'since the tires were somewhat connected to Pile F. See attached Photo 7) Staff then returned to the state vehicle and waited for Mr. Schumacher to return to the site. Upon his arrival. staff conducted an exit interview that included a discussion regarding a registration application IDEM received listing Alternative Two as a disposal site for their waste tires during closure. Staff inquired about whether Mr. Schumacher had knowledge of the facility or suggested including them as the disposal facility. Mr. Schumacher indicated that he was aware of the facility and that his business was fabricating a waste tire bailer for them. Staff also discuss the appearance that more tires were present on-site that during the September 22 inspection. Mr. Schumacher indicated that people show up at his gate and drive back to the storage area and dump their tires back there. (See Photo 13, which appears to contain vehicle tire tracks in the recently fallen now.) CONCLUSION The total amount of waste tires on-site was approximately 118,448 PTEs. Information is being forwarded to the Office of Land Quality Enforcement Section. Please see the Description of Violations section for more additional information. Note: The facility's waste tire storage, processing, and transporting registrations have expired. The Annual Tire Summary Waste Tire Storage Site/Waste Tire Processing Operation and the Annual Waste Tire Report and Closure Cost Estimate has not been submitted for 2024.

During the South Bend Police Departments review of your application, it was brought to my attention that you are registered with LeadsOnline but not logging the daily transactions in it. LeadsOnlin is the tool that law enforcement officers use during investigations, and to comply with the ordinance, it is required that all daily transactions be reported through them. So,to help me understand what Republic Services does, and if they are required to report, I need to know what type of items you receive for recycling.

Violation Details: At the time of inspection on March 12, 2025, erosion of the tipping floor had resulted in large depressions which exposed rebar in multiple areas. In addition, a large hole had developed in the east end of the tipping floor.Water and waste had become trapped in this hole. Status Update October 10, 2025:At the time of inspection, the previously documented hole in the tipping floor and exposed rebar were observed. Mr. Havemann provided receipts for concrete used to attempt a repair on April 18, 2025, and a photo of the temporary repair to the tipping floor was provided via text message on October 15, 2025. However,the April 18, 2025, repair was unsuccessful. A quote to cut out and replace the damaged section of the floor has been obtained, but the work is not yet contracted.A second attempt to temporarily repair the hole in the tipping floor has been contracted, but a date for the repair has not been established. Status Update January 14, 2026:At the time of inspection,the hole in the tipping floor was being filled with sand and rock daily to create a workable surface. Mr. Havemann stated that the company has decided to resurface the entire tipping floor and have the work done by a company based in DeMotte, IN. However,the project has not been scheduled. Required Action:The damaged areas of the tipping floor must be repaired. NOTE: it seems like they are working towards resolving the issue, but it hasn't been scheduled Thanks!

Upon arrival,Mr. Shupryt observed that new signs containing all facility information had been posted at the intersection of West Ewing Avenue and Green Tech Drive.As Mr. Shupryt drove along Green Tech Drive toward the facility gate,litter was observed along both sides of the roadway.Additional litter was observed inside of the facility north of the transfer building.The area around the dumpsters for public drop off was observed to be well maintained. Mr.Shupryt then proceeded to Mr.Havemann's office,where he met with Mr. Havemann and Mr. Spalding.Mr.Shupryt mentioned to Mr. Havemann the litter observed while entering the facility.Mr. Havemann stated that multiple recent wind events had caused issues with blowing litter.He had a litter picker scheduled to clean everything up that morning. Mr. Havemann called the litter picker,who stated that he was less than 20 minutes away. Mr. Havemann stated that additional quotes for repairing the tipping floor had been obtained,and the company had recently made the decision to resurface the entire tipping floor through a company based in DeMotte, IN.Until this project can be scheduled and completed,Mr. Havemann is filling the hole in the tipping floor with rock and sand. Mr. Havemann and Mr. Spalding stated that they are filling the hole at least once a day and most days more than that. Mr.Haveman stated that he is keeping a supply of rock and sand on site so that the filling can be conducted as soon as the hole reforms(photo 6).Mr.Shupryt reviewed the quarterly reports for all four quarters of 2025 and waste oversight records for December 2025 and January 2026.Two random load inspections are being conducted and documented daily to fulfill incoming waste oversight requirements.Mr. Shupryt asked about other maintenance at the facility.Mr.Spalding stated that on December 28,2025,someone drove through the front gate of the facility and destroyed it.A temporary gate has been installed to secure the facility. Mr. Havemann stated that he spoke with a company earlier in the week to have the gate replaced,but it will take 10 weeks for the replacement to be completed.In September 2025, INSERV blew out the drain lines. Fire extinguishers in the office were observed to have recent inspection tags.The first aid kit in the office is being regularly maintained by Cintas and was observed to be fully stocked. Mr. Havemann and Mr.Shupryt then proceeded to inspect the site.The litter pickers were observed to already be on site and cleaning up the fenceline north of the transfer building.No damage was observed to the rolldown doors on the transfer building.Mr. Havemann stated that all doors are operating properly.The damage to the tipping floor was then observed photos 1-2). Mr. Havemann stated that he would have a new load of rock and sand brought in immediately to refill the hole in the tipping floor. Floor drains in the tipping floor were observed to be blocked with mud(photos 3-4).A small hole was observed in the wall of the transfer building next to door 3(photo 5).Mr.Havemann stated that he would have these issues addressed immediately. Mr. Havemann stated that a small spill kit is maintained on the front loader and additional materials are stored in the facility's maintenance garage. Mr. Havemann and Mr. Shupryt then returned to Mr. Havemann's office.Mr. Havemann called Mr.Spalding to have the hole in the transfer building patched.Mr. Havemann emailed pictures of the temporary patch on the wall and the temporary repair to the tipping floor to Mr.Shupryt later in the day(photos 7-8).Mr. Havemann also stated in the email that the drains on the tipping floor had been cleared and an employee has been specifically tasked with clearing them daily attachment A). No new solid waste violations were cited during this inspection.The violation cited on March 12,2025,and October 10, 2025,persists.A follow-up inspection to assess compliance will be conducted during the next routine inspection.

It was discovered that Big Bulldog Auto Parts does not have an account for Leads Online,violating Number 4: "Pursuant to Sec. 4051(k)(1)" It was also discovered that LKQ does a lot of business and transactions but has ZERO submissions of transactions. I then spoke with Det.Timothy Taylor about property crimes and the lack of these submissions, and he recommended that the business be held accountable to submit as it can aid in his detectives' investigations. So even though LKQ has an account,they are not fulfilling the requirement or send via electronic forms of transmission to SBPD via Leads Online. violating Number 4: "Pursuant to Sec. 4051(k)(1)" Finally, Republic Service has the same concern as LKQ.They have an account, but they are not submitting their transactions. violating Number 4: "Pursuant to Sec.4051(k)(1)" I will be following up with these businesses in person to see if they have video camera's recording the transaction, but I wanted to share immediately that these specific businesses are not reporting via Leads Online.

Cole Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2026 1:21 PM To: Michelle Adams Cc: DL-SBPDOutreach Subject: Re: Scrap Metal Dealers Michelle, LKQ- I would recommend that this business could be approved on a temporary or probationary status that is contingent upon their compliance with Leadsonline. After approval, set up a six-month reminder to check in with PD to see if in fact LKQ is abiding by the ordinance and reporting it through Leadsonline. If they do, then they will pass until their next renewal. Then, at that newest renewal, PD can check to see if they have maintained compliance.They can also be subject to compliance checks and if they stop using it, that would technically qualify as a violation per that ordinance. I did confirm that they actually registered for Leadsonline Feb. 18th of 2025-So they have had an account for a year. Six months is plenty of time on reporting through that system only. Big Bulldog Auto Parts-You mentioned that they signed up. I confirmed that they registered as of 2/18/26, they have not reported anything but you mentioned they still are figuring out the system via Leadsonline help hotline. Republic Services-They are not receiving anything to turn over for profit as its a recycling station.They logistically came through my attention based on the ordinance under Scrap metals but do to them checking the wrong box- I have no issue or PD has no problems with this business.

It was discovered that Big Bulldog Auto Parts does not have an account for Leads Online,violating Number 4: "Pursuant to Sec. 4051(k)(1)" It was also discovered that LKQ does a lot of business and transactions but has ZERO submissions of transactions. I then spoke with Det.Timothy Taylor about property crimes and the lack of these submissions, and he recommended that the business be held accountable to submit as it can aid in his detectives' investigations. So even though LKQ has an account,they are not fulfilling the requirement or send via electronic forms of transmission to SBPD via Leads Online. violating Number 4: "Pursuant to Sec.4051(k)(1)" Finally, Republic Service has the same concern as LKQ.They have an account, but they are not submitting their transactions. violating Number 4: "Pursuant to Sec. 4051(k)(1)" I will be following up with these businesses in person to see if they have video camera's recording the transaction, but I wanted to share immediately that these specific businesses are not reporting via Leads Online. Please let me know how we can aid in holding these businesses accountable to report. PFC Joseph A.

Michelle Adams From: Joseph A.Cole Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2026 1:21 PM To: Michelle Adams Cc: DL-SBPDOutreach Subject: Re:Scrap Metal Dealers Michelle, LKQ- I would recommend that this business could be approved on a temporary or probationary status that is contingent upon their compliance with Leadsonline. After approval, set up a six-month reminder to check in with PD to see if in fact LKQ is abiding by the ordinance and reporting it through Leadsonline. If they do, then they will pass until their next renewal. Then, at that newest renewal, PD can check to see if they have maintained compliance. They can also be subject to compliance checks and if they stop using it, that would technically qualify as a violation per that ordinance. I did confirm that they actually registered for Leadsonline Feb. 18'h of 2025-So they have had an account for a year. Six months is plenty of time on reporting through that system only. Big Bulldog Auto Parts-You mentioned that they signed up. I confirmed that they registered as of 2/18/26, they have not reported anything but you mentioned they still are figuring out the system via leadsonline help hotline. Republic Services-They are not receiving anything to turn over for profit as its a recycling station.They logistically came through my attention based on the ordinance under Scrap metals but do to them checking the wrong box- I have no issue or PD has no problems with this business.

They confirmed that LeadsOnline serves as the electronic records management system required for all licensed Scrap Metal Dealers in the City of South Bend, and it's essential for compliance that you use this system. The officers also clarified that, while they utilize LeadsOnline for their work,they cannot provide training to individuals or businesses on the platform. Fortunately, LeadsOnline offers support directly. I've attached a QuickStart guide to help you get started, and if you have any further questions about using the system, you can reach their support team at 800-286-5388 for a quick tutorial or additional guidance.
